The next day at noon.

The seven companies determined the total amount of US$16 billion to form an offshore fund. Dahua Industrial, which invested the most, took out nearly all the reserves, plus US$1 billion in loans, raising US$4 billion, accounting for 25%. The UK Global Company, which invested the least, also had US$1.2 billion, which exceeded their original plan.

As the main body of insider trading, offshore funds are naturally secret, but the heads of companies who came to sign the contract cannot be concealed.

Especially for European companies like Repsol, both the president and the chairman are under the noses of the media. It is difficult to hide in China, let alone go abroad.

Sucheng simply invited them to visit the newly built drilling platform of Dahua Industrial.

The sixth drilling platform numbered 506 now stands on the Aselli ocean. In order to install it, Dahua Industrial has dispatched nearly 200 employees and worked for three months.

The fact that so many people can be invited is that good news is frequent in Dahua Industrial’s oil field, and on the other hand, it is also the special thing about the No. 506 drilling platform.

This is China's first fourth-generation jack-up drilling platform.

The jack-up drilling platform with a total length of 75 meters, a width of 40 meters and a height of 87 meters is definitely a world-class drilling platform that surpasses the mainstream.

Although the Swedes had built four generations of drilling platforms as early as 1987, even in 2007, a jack-up drilling platform with a maximum operating depth of 150 meters and a maximum drilling depth of 6,000 meters was still the first choice for continental shelf drilling. The newly built or modified drilling platforms in various countries also had similar data parameters, at most they only improved some auxiliary functions such as living areas.

It is understandable that Dahua Industrial can independently complete the fourth generation of jack-up drilling platform in 1994, making a grand celebration.

At present, there are only about ten shipping companies in five or six countries that can make such products.

At the same time, the invited were Xiao Aliyev, chairman of Azerbaijan State Oil Company, Minister Xu of China's Ministry of Machinery Industry, Lin Yonggui, deputy general manager of China Petroleum Corporation, Deputy General Manager Cha of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Director Mao of China Development and Reform Commission and others.

Wang Dehuang, who was originally making "judgment" of production, flew back to China early to report. Shi Wanke was left behind because of his professionalism and accompanied Vice President Cha of the head office to visit the drilling platform.

Shi Wanke visited the drilling platform No. 503, then looked at No. 506, and found the way. During the visit, he chose the route himself, pondered his mind, nodded and sighed, and frowned. He had a wonderful expression but didn't talk much.

Vice President Cha, who is nearly 60 years old, patiently asked Shi Wanke to walk in front. After the whole boat circled around, he smiled and said, "Xiao Shi, what do you think of Dahua's drilling platform? Which one is better than Ocean Oil 931?"

Shi Wanke pondered.

Vice President Cha smiled and said, "What about Bohai No. 9?"

Offshore Oil 931 is the latest drilling platform in 1993, and is almost the last offshore drilling platform imported by China. It was built by the St. Petersburg Shipyard in Russia. After a year, this brand new offshore drilling platform is naturally the best offshore drilling platform in the country. In theory, in two or three years, the offshore drilling platform purchased by three barrels of oil in the 1970s and 1980s has undergone technical transformation, and may not be better than it.

In terms of volume alone, Offshore Oil 931 has an advantage, and its length, length, width, 33, is known as the world's largest jack-up offshore drilling platform.

Bohai No. 9 is a domestic offshore drilling platform from 1984. Although the maximum drilling depth is 6,000 meters, no one has used it. The maximum operating depth is 50 meters shorter than the offshore oil 931 and only 40 meters, which is equivalent to a shallow water offshore drilling platform.

Shi Wanke, who was thinking, burst out laughing and said, "Mr. Cha, are you kidding?"

Vice President Cha trembled with gray hair, wrinkles on his face moved up, and said slowly: "Why are you kidding me?"

"Construction, make it clearer and don't be vague." Deputy General Cha followed Director Xie, who was in charge of publicity, was the most harsh.

"It's okay, let's talk about it slowly. There are still several hours left in the celebration." Vice President Cha was a slow-witted person, and the fat on his chin was shaking.

Shi Wanke was trained and said a little embarrassedly: "I mean, Dahua No. 506 is a serious fourth-generation jack-up drilling platform, which is a little smaller than our Ocean Oil 931, but overall, it is still not bad. Bohai No. 9... Although it is our own thing, it is really far from it, privately said it is really not bad."

"This is the difference, what's the difference? Tell me slowly, let me listen." Deputy General Cha simply found a railing and asked the accompanying staff to put down the small stool and listen while drinking water.

Shi Wanke thought it was a bit strange. Vice President Cha was famous for not understanding technology in the company. He was a political cadre. Therefore, although the starting point was very high, he was very slow to be promoted. He had been experienced by the vice president for nearly ten years. Shi Wanke thought to himself: Could this be enlightened? Want to live and learn until you are old?

After considering the words and sentences, Shi Wanke said: "From the performance of the platform, the tonnage of the load and the self-sustaining ability of the platform are relatively important. The specific performance of Dahua's drilling platform is not clear, but I heard that the self-sustaining ability of the platform is 45 days. In this case, Ocean Oil 931 cannot compare to."

Worried that Vice President Cha did not understand, Shi Wanke added: "Self-sustaining ability is to replenish fuel, fresh water, food and other materials at one time according to the design requirements, and not replenish the supply in the middle. The self-sustaining time of Ocean Oil 931 is 20 days, which is considered long on our offshore drilling platform, but compared with 45 days, the gap is still very obvious."

"This is very important for the drilling platform?" Vice President Cha said incomprehensiblely: "The loading is relatively small, so is it not enough to send a few more supply ships?"

"The wind and waves on the sea are relatively large. If you work at a time or place where the weather is not good, 5 days will be reserved for 20 days of self-sustaining time. If it is far away from the shore, it is quite troublesome to replenish it. In fact, this is mainly a reflection of design and technical capabilities. To develop a four-and-a-half-generation or fifth-generation offshore drilling platform, 20-day self-sustaining ability is the basic, and 45 days is actually not too much. Since the tonnage of the drilling platform is very important, it is still difficult to improve the self-sustaining ability. Simply put, 25 days is the gap of the first generation."

"The further offshore drilling platform is, the longer it will take for self-sustaining?"

"Yes, if the deep-sea drilling platform in the future, it will take a week for the supply ship to and from time to time. If the self-sustaining time is short, it will be useless at all. Of course, offshore oil 931 does not have this problem. Its operating depth is 90 meters, and it cannot be driven anywhere." Shi Wanke said and smiled: "The operating depth of Dahua's new drilling platform is 150 meters, which is also a gap."

“Gift gap in generation?”

"It's almost a generation." Shi Wan sighed.

"What about other aspects? What is the difference between drilling capabilities?"

Shi Wanke thought in confusion and said, "The drilling is more detailed, the height of the derrick, the load of the big hook, the quality of equipment such as the sky truck, the winch and cruise, as well as cementing devices, mud pumps, blowout preventers, water barriers, anchorage systems... By the way, Dahua Industrial's anchorage system is top-notch. They have cooperated with Halliburton..."

"Did you understand all this?" Director Xie, who was the propaganda, had a serious expression.

"I don't know much. Judging from what I just read and what Dahua introduced the booklet, it is much better than Ocean 931, especially several key parts, such as diesel generator sets, reducers, etc., they have all completed the localization."

"That is, it is higher than the level of domestic research institutes?"

"Of course, the 706th Institute is also..." Shi Wanke smiled and said, "We do more basic research in China, which is still different from enterprises."

He did not positively comment on 706, although 706 is a research institute under China Shipbuilding Corporation, and has no direct relationship with the Ocean Oil Corporation.

Shi Wanke suddenly had a sudden inspiration and thought to himself: Could the Vice President check all his opinions on 706?

Of course, it is not surprising that there are opinions. State-owned enterprises are eager to produce and sell their own businesses and take on big profits. If the situation permits, they are eager to control all the profit points in their own hands.

The 706 Institute of China Shipbuilding Systems is indeed not a good thing to let China National Shipbuilding System master the drilling platform technology that is crucial to CNOOC from the perspective of the system's thinking.

Vice President Cha gently turned the water cup and said, "As you said, Dahua Industrial's offshore drilling platform is very advanced?"

"The brand new four-generation products are only a few years behind the best jack-up drilling platforms abroad. Of course, many of their equipment are also imported, but it is rare to form overall strength." Shi Wanke is not hesitant to praise.

Deputy General Secretary Cha looked at Director Xie.

The latter bowed his head slightly and said, "Construction is still quite technically advanced."

"Yes." Vice President Cha nodded slowly and said, "It seems that he wants to contact Dahua. If our CNOOC also has such an offshore drilling platform, there will be more room for cooperation in the Bohai Sea area."

He faced Shi Wanke and had a little intention of asking.

Shi Wanke was stunned and said, "Buy Dahua's offshore drilling platform?"

"how?"

"It's good, but... the offshore drilling platform belongs to Dahua Shipbuilding Industry, and they also have LNG ship business. Even if Dahua's own orders are scheduled until next year, we just want it and can't get it for a while."

"next year?"

Shi Wanke didn't understand the situation and whispered: "Next year is actually quite good, so you can modify the original design based on feedback during use."

"That's it. If you order this year, you can order this year. If you can't make a reservation, you can sign a contract and sign a next year's ordering period." Vice President Cha was used to the ordering period of one or two years.

After making the decision, Vice President Cha slowly walked up and arrived at the platform. Director Xie went directly to find Sucheng, but a few meters away, he was stopped by the hidden Azerbaijani bodyguard.

"I have a big business to look for Su Cheng." Director Xie raised his neck, feeling the superiority of Party A.

"Sorry, let's talk to me if you have business." Yan Xuecan came to the bodyguard with a smile. Now it was the time for the offshore fund to start, and no one in Sucheng would be willing to see him.
