Chapter 196: The Thief
Siam is vigorously engaged in construction and the development of the automobile industry.
And on the Honsavwady side, it was not idle.
Just earlier this year, the UNDG was secretly doing a big job in Kachin State, north of Honsawady.
On the northwestern border of Kachin State, there is a relatively gentle mountain range, and on the other side of the mountain is the state of Assam in Tianzhu.
In the Nanyun Valley, near the border, the inhabitants have been emptied and all relocated to more livable cities.
After it was emptied, the Nanyun Valley was officially listed as a nature reserve on the official website of Honsavady.
And judging from the satellite imagery, it has indeed become a deserted area.
But in fact, the Development Group has secretly built a large underground base inside this valley, under the cover of the green umbrella system and underground facilities.
The western edge of the base is basically attached to the border line, which is less than a kilometre away.
The reason why it was built so close was to steal things.
DBS' management has come up with an ingenious plan based on the various technologies of the current Homo sapiens.
Because they found that the company's excavation technology is very advanced, and the excavation cost is very low, even if it is excavated underground, as long as it is well controlled, there will not even be large vibrations and obvious movements.
In this way, they have their eyes on what is in other people's homes.
Python Wenxing, who proposed this plan, personally formed a special project team called "Straw Project" to make a plan specifically for stealing things.
After observing the surrounding neighbors, Python Wenxing first excluded the northern neighbors who could not be provoked, and then excluded Siam, which had become his own people, and Lancang, which was so poor that it clanged.
In the end, he could only turn his gaze to Tianzhu in the west.
Considering that the seaside of Rakhine State is not easy to keep secrets, he set his sights on the northwestern border of Assam, which happens to have what he wants opposite.
Assam has a long and narrow river valley plain, and in this valley plain, there is a lot of natural gas and oil.
The closest oil field to the Namunse Valley is the Digboy oil field in Assam, which is only 47 kilometers away, and the underground oil and gas reservoirs are even closer.
According to the geological exploration data of the Python Wenxing survey, the reservoir of the Digboy Oilfield is less than 24 kilometers away from the Nanyun River Valley.
Therefore, he promoted the company to build the Nanyun Valley base.
After the construction of part of the infrastructure and the underground base, a 1,000-meter-deep well was drilled at the site, which was then dug from the bottom of the well laterally to the bottom of the Digboy field.
This kind of technology of horizontal excavation deep underground is also mastered by Homo sapiens at this stage.
The technical point is to carry corrosive bacteria into deep underground wells through special parasites, and then use pheromone regulation to directly corrode rock formations.
In order to increase the excavation speed, a micro submersible is usually used, and a needle made of cemented carbide is shot into the rock layer through the micro thimble equipment equipped with the submersible, which can pierce through a depth of tens of meters at a time.
Corrosion can then be accelerated by injecting corrosive bacteria into the pores that have penetrated the formation.
Genetically modified polyps can also be used to create a special corrosion-resistant coral layer in the underground shaft.
The corroded sediment is boiled by the fluid and washed directly to the ground.
The underground tunnel is advancing at a rate of two to three hundred meters per day, and the Digboy oil field is rapidly approaching.
After 103 days of clandestine excavation, the tunnel finally opened the aquifer of the Digboy field, which was then acquired by DBS.
Because when the tunnel was opened, it was excavated from the bottom of the Nanyun River valley and obliquely upward, so the two places just formed a drop.
The oil-bearing layer of the Digboy Oilfield is at a depth of 730~860 meters, but the bottom of the deep well in the Nanyun Valley is 1000 meters, so the oil on the opposite side will automatically flow to this side.
When the deep well was dug at that time, it left a lot of space at the bottom.
Now after the oil flow from the opposite side is starting to be discovered.
Python Wenxing came to the scene in person: "How much oil can be pumped?" ”
"About 2,600 barrels of crude oil per day." The base chief replied with a smile.
"This amount is not enough, I remember that the reserves of this oil field are 32 million tons, right?"
The base chief nodded: "Yes, the proven reserves are 32 million tons, and there are hundreds of millions of tons of oil sands and oil shale at the bottom." ”
Python Wenxing smiled sinisterly: "Then increase the extraction efforts, we have to compete with the Tianzhu people for time, as long as we evacuate this oil, they will definitely only be able to temporarily seal this oil field." ”
The director of the base thought for a while: "If the number of vacuum pumps and oil pumping pipelines is increased, it is estimated that it can be increased to the limit of 80,000 barrels per day." ”
"Just according to the limit, by the way, how much can the supporting oil pipeline transport per day?"
"The limit is 100,000 barrels per day, and the base's strategic reserve can reserve 1 million barrels. ”
"Expand the reserves, but don't build them together, try to build a 5 million barrel oil reserve here."
"I'll write a plan."
Python Wenxing listened to the low sound of the flow of the tide in the pipe, like a symphony in the Vienna Musikverein.
Honsavady doesn't have much oil and gas, so he tries to "borrow" from his neighbors.
Did he know that in the river valley plains of Assam, there are at least 200 million tons of oil and hundreds of billions of cubic meters of natural gas.
In addition to this, there are hundreds of millions of tons of coal, more than a billion tons of oil sands and oil shale.
If these energy sources can be "borrowed", the energy potential of Honsavady will be further enhanced.
Just when Nagumo Base was sneaking up oil from the Digboy oil field.
The well manager of Tianzhu Petroleum Company also found that the oil production of several oil wells was declining rapidly.
Sandy, the oilfield manager, was in the office, and after hearing the report from his subordinates, his face was a little ugly, and he asked with a headache:
"Engineer Murray, can we take remedial measures to get the wells back in production?"
"If the company can afford to produce $40 per barrel, then it can use steam flooding technology to extract heavy oil from the bottom." Murry has a look on his face.
"40 dollars is too high." Sandy looked confused.
In fact, they are not surprised by the decline in oil well production, after all, Tianzhu's oil consumption has increased year by year in recent years, and its local oil fields have been squeezed to the limit.
So they didn't suspect that the oil was flowing away on its own.
This is another reason why Python Wenxing hits the oil fields of Assam, which are on the verge of depletion.
When the time comes, it will dry up one after another, and the Tianzhu people will only think that they have emptied the oil field.
As for oil sands and shale oil, it is estimated that the Tianzhu people do not have the technology and capital to exploit them at present.
You must know that the place with the largest reserves of oil sands and shale oil in the world is not America, but Americaka's younger brother Maple Leaf Country, which is estimated to be converted into oil, with a scale of trillions of tons.
But the cost of extraction is also very impressive.
Even European and American oil companies, which have been playing shale oil and oil sands, find these two types of oil reservoirs difficult to exploit and the cost is unacceptable.
In a place like Tianzhu that has no foundation, the extraction cost is estimated to break through the sky, and it is better to import the oil of Lucia, a good friend.
Therefore, Python Wenxing has already expected the other party's reaction, once the Assam oil is depleted one after another, the oil fields in this area will definitely be mothballed one after another.
At that time, he can take advantage of the other party's well sealing period to help Tianzhu extract oil sands and shale oil.
However, due to the different levels of the formations and the increasing distance, the series of oil fields in Assam requires further careful planning of a safe and hidden route.
