Chapter five hundred and ninety-fifth oil field scale
Ships scattered across the ocean of the Caspian Sea sway with the waves.
Most companies that obtained oil blocks sent people to visit Dahua Industrial's oil wells. The offshore drilling platform that had just been controlled was slightly dilapidated, and the parts that were baptized by crude oil were stained. However, the energetic workers were enough to make up for all appearances.
No matter how beautiful a drilling platform is, it is useless without crude oil output. No matter how dirty a drilling platform can obtain crude oil, it is the most dazzling star.
Countless people looked at an offshore drilling platform like a building with intoxicated eyes.
"Dahua Industrial did discover a large oil field. I heard that the derrick was washed into the sky? The last time I heard about this kind of thing was decades ago. It seemed that this happened in the Texas oil field back then. It was a good era that people missed." Dukat, leaning on a civilized stick, mentioned the first thing he mentioned was the "accident" a day ago.
It is indeed an accident. The derrick is washed up and the chance of hitting people and flowers is high. Even if it does not hit people and flowers, it will hit on a pure metal drilling platform. The sparks splashing may cause a huge fire. The ones under the derrick are flammable oil.
At sea, once an uncontrollable fire occurs, offshore drilling platforms usually only give up, and the consequences will be continuous.
Fortunately, Dahua's "accident" did not cause the first bad consequences, and even oil people like this impactful story. The oil field hidden below the sea actually has such great underground pressure. No matter how you think about it, you will know that it must be a large oil field.
Su Cheng did not shy away from this and smiled: "It is still a good era. At least, it is still an era where great oil fields can be discovered. If it is hard to say, it is another Qiuming oil field..."
"Another Tyumen Oilfield? Does Mr. Su view the new oilfield like this?" Dukat was knowledgeable, but like his contemporary oilmen, he did not realize the importance of the Caspian Oilfield. In fact, just like many industry insiders in the 21st century, the oilfields in the 1990s also thought that they had discovered all the super oilfields on the earth. The conclusion that "the oil treasure house like the Middle East will never appear again" was noisy before the development of the Caspian region, and almost became a common understanding. Dukat, a British man, and Dukat, a BP company employee, naturally believed that the Tyumen Oilfield currently mastered by BP should be the last super oilfield discovered by mankind.
As for Dahua Industrial’s new oil field, although it has valuable underground pressure, it only means that it is a large oil reservoir.
How can the sexy super oil field in the Tyumen Oilfield be judged by the initial thrust of an oilfield?
The Tyumen Oilfield is a huge oil area, just like the Daqing Oilfield or Shengli Oilfield, consisting of a series of large oil reservoirs. At best, Dahua Industrial discovered a large oil reservoir. Whether this large oil reservoir is an isolated large oil reservoir, a normal oil area composed of a large oil reservoir and a series of small oil reservoirs, or it is really part of a series of large oil reservoirs, it will only be known after mining.
There are many large oil reservoirs found around the world. BP's current policy is to constantly hunt "elephants", that is, oil fields with reserves of more than 1 billion barrels of crude oil, but if you want to say that like the Tyumen Oilfield, no one really hopes.
Su Cheng was confident and said with emotion: "Azijiu's output will only be higher than that of the Tyumen Oilfield. From now on, this will be the benchmark for Caspian Oil."
"Are you serious?" Dukat was shocked and thought a little with a smile: I used to think that Su Cheng was more mature than his peers, but I didn't expect that he was still naive. It was probably because of the good results that made him relax.
Ducat asked with a smile: "The downhole pressure is so high, the output on the first day isn't it?"
"The daily output is 70,000 barrels, and the moisture content is very small." Sucheng was indeed very relaxed. Since Aqijiu's oil production, the deepest fear hidden in his heart, that is, the fear that the Aqijiu oil field did not appear as expected has disappeared, and all that is left is the happiness of a bumper harvest.
For Dahua Industrial today, if the investment of more than 500 million US dollars in the early stage is lost, the efforts of more than two years will be in vain. On the contrary, if Aqi can produce oil for a long time, every six months may make Dahua Industrial's development faster than a year. In China, a land that has just been reformed and opened up, if it can lead to a year's development, it will bring about a multiple increase in the scale of enterprises. From the perspective of the world, Chinese-scale enterprises in 20 years will also be world-class enterprises.
Ducat said twice for the daily production of a single well of 70,000 barrels, and said with a smile: "This is a 10,000-ton well, a 10,000-ton well. So, it is undoubtedly a big oil field."
Ten thousand-ton wells are usually only seen in areas with very abundant crude oil, such as the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as Venezuela and Russia. Therefore, it is normal to use ten thousand-ton wells to judge the existence of large oil fields.
However, Ducat still only admitted in his heart that this is a large oil field, and did not admit that Dahua Industrial would meet a large oil area.
In fact, due to the limited area obtained by bidding, compared with several nearby oil blocks, Dahua Industrial has a similar chance of getting the oil zone and other companies getting the oil zone. Perhaps, there is a possibility that the oil zone is still in the hands of Azerbaijan.
Ducat would not refute Su Cheng on this, but smiled and said, "The investment of Su Cheng is undoubtedly recovering. By the way, you still use the model of high signing and low share? Is it more than 50%? Now, it takes less than a year to recover the signing and the more expensive signing and contracts. Then, it is a period of more than 30 years. Ha, the century contract... Only the chairman of Su Cheng dares to choose the model of high signing and low share. After rough calculations, it will cost tens of millions of dollars more every year."
As he said that, Ducat's nerves were also touched. After a brief pause, he said: "That's not true. Even if I am the chairman of the company, I can't make such a decision. Professional managers only have the thinking of professional managers. For safety, I would rather choose a low contract fee and high share model, which can minimize risks and risks, and is the enemy of the company."
"If the company wasn't too small, I would have a very good chance of choosing an ordinary contract signing method." Su Cheng grabbed the boat gang and looked out.
Ducat smiled and said, "With such an oil field, it is impossible for Dahua Industrial to become smaller."
"It can't be cashed out immediately. By the way, the subsidy for oil barrels promised by Your Excellency Aliyev has not been issued yet, right?" Su Cheng asked about the first oil company that Aliyev promised that day that the oil production company could receive a subsidy of 50 cents per barrel of oil. According to the cost of about 20 US dollars in barrels of oil, it is equivalent to subsidizing 2.5 yuan of oil production costs, which is a lot.
The people on the boat grinned unconsciously when they heard Su Cheng's words. Ducat whispered: "Dahua Industrial is the first company to see crude oil."
Dahua Industrial has made sufficient preparations, which can be traced back to the preparations two or three years ago, including offshore drilling platforms and other equipment. They have planned long-distance transportation plans and reasonable experiments. In contrast, several companies have not yet set up drilling platforms until several months later.
Of course, the new exploration methods adopted by Dahua Industrial and intensive drilling are also of great help.
Considering the possible outsized production capacity of the Azijiu oil field, the subsidies Aliyev will pay for this are definitely beyond his expectations.
Even if it produces 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day, it means $250,000 per day, but it is much higher than the daily expenditure of an ordinary city or several large state-owned enterprises. If it produces 1 million barrels per day, Aliyev's annual subsidy will be $150 million, which will offset a lot of taxes.
Su Cheng put his mood on his face, raised his mouth with joy, and said, "It seems that he is going to make some money... If the drilling goes well in the future."
"That's not some."
"Well, if the oil production is very high," Su Cheng said, pausing for a moment, and laughing: "Mr. Ducat, you said, if we really discovered an oil area as big as the Tyumen Oilfield, what changes will the crude oil market be?"
"Crude oil market? If no other situation occurs, a Tyumen oil field will put huge pressure on oil prices..." Dukat understood Sucheng's meaning without saying it. He laughed twice and reiterated the old saying: "Of course, the first thing is to discover another Tyumen oil field."
Su Cheng nodded and said, "If you really discover another Qiuming oil field, don't stock up on the market."
"If..." Dukat's smile slowly closed and said unexpectedly: "Dr. Su is so serious, the results of underground exploration are very good?"
"The result is hard to say." The English that Su Cheng used in English, and it was impossible to say the results of underground exploration.
The people on the boat looked at the drilling platform ahead and fell into silence at the same time.
The oil market was not in short supply in the 1990s. Since the end of the Iraq War, the overall situation has stabilized. If a large amount of oil supply appears, it is natural to decline.
Unlike ordinary people imagine, fluctuations in oil prices are often not determined by long-term contracts with a transaction ratio of 92, but are determined by spot contracts that only account for 8 transactions. Therefore, whenever the oil output fluctuates by 1, it is equivalent to fluctuations of 10 for the global market. Once oil fields with terrifying output such as Tyumen Oilfield or Azijiu Oilfield appear, the blow to market prices will be quite serious.
From the perspective of profit-making, it is predicted that large oil fields will appear, and shorting of oil futures in the long term is the easiest to make money.
Of course, this method violates the securities laws of most countries, so Su Cheng said it a little more tactfully. For the guys of oil companies, in order to obtain oil fields, they even dared to get involved in arms smuggling, what is it to violate the Securities Law?
As for oil companies in emerging market countries such as Dahua Industrial, Venezuelan Petroleum Corporation, and Petrobras, they have no fear of European and American securities laws.
There were more than a dozen oil companies present, dozens of people looked at each other, and turned around in a tacit understanding.
In fact, there is no need to appear super oil fields. Even a large oil field can be kept underway if several large oil companies cooperate.
It should be said that the oil field is more like a tacit lubricant.
