super energy power

With the drilling of the South No. 2 oil well, more and more Russians came to Kuvak's temporary camp.

Neither the cold air nor the chaotic muddy ground can stop the former Soviets from yearning for money.

People always have beliefs, either lofty ideals or golden ideals. When Gorbachev ruined the hope of the Soviet Union, when European and American countries began to proudly declare "The End of History", everyone Naturally facing the west, yearning to be covered in gold and silver.

In just a few days, Sioux City met several senior cadres from the former Soviet Union, as well as officials with real power who were serving in the Russian Federation, and rushed to the Tyumen Oilfield in a hurry.

Russia at this time is like a warehouse where you can take what you can take. The administrators try their best to move more wealth out of it.As early as the end of the 80s, Russian oil was already a well-known gold mine.

However, the cost of oil extraction is not low.Among other things, the poverty of the Soviet Union in the past made many officials unable to raise people in Siberia, so how to develop oil.

At this time, loans from Western countries were mainly concentrated on value-preserving factory projects such as power and smelting, while oil companies tended to take advantage of the fire.As Sioux City predicted, the oil companies in Britain, Norway, the United States and other countries have chosen to own oil fields, invest in, develop, drill, produce, transport, and sell their own oil fields. Although each The company will have one or two Russian partners, but the power and benefits are very few, and it is difficult to satisfy the increasingly high desire of executives. .

In some contracts, Russian businessmen can still get a few percent of the shares at the beginning, but as the amount of investment continues to increase, the Russians' share is constantly diluted.By the time the real output is made, the share of the Russians can no longer be less.

Reasonable and legal means, coupled with the strength of foreign oil companies, quickly made the Russians understand that Kuvak's model is the best if they want to make a lot of money in the oil industry.If oil can be extracted, the money earned in the early stage will not be small. The high-ranking officials of the former Soviet Union communicated with each other. In addition, before the racing exploration, the bosses of the oilfields had already paid attention, and there were quite a lot of people gathered in the temporary camp.

Ito Nobushige and Li Zhengfu are also paying close attention to Dahua's situation.Their exploration speed is slower than Dahua's, and the first well is drilled later. If Dahua's first well produces oil, regardless of whether their oil wells can produce oil, they will lose in the race for exploration. For this reason The more than 5000 million U.S. dollars paid is tantamount to a waste of time.

Companies like Japan and Singapore are different from European and American companies.After years of development, the latter's oil companies have become huge super companies. Even if they provide technical services, they also provide services to large oil fields.A contract of hundreds of millions of dollars may not be seen in the eyes.Because of their high costs, it is not cost-effective to provide technical services to small oil fields just in terms of labor costs.

As for large and medium-sized oil companies such as Dahua Industrial and Xinma Group, it is different.If a super-packaged oil field with a reserve of [-] million tons is produced, the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars paid in advance may put them on a heavy burden, but it is not as good as the flexible profits of a small oil field.

It can be said that in the Russian market, the bulk of the oil fields eventually belonged to giants like the Seven Petroleum Sisters, and the small and medium oil fields belonged to high-level Russian officials. Only the technical service market was vacated, and was competed by oil companies such as Dahua Industrial.

If it hadn't been predicted that Russia would be nationalized again in the future, Sioux City might have to compete for Russia's oil fields.Now it is impossible to avoid.

When Putin came to power in 00, there were only 8 years left.In such a short period of time, even if he lost the Daqing Oilfield in Sioux City, at most he could earn back a cost. When the oilfield is nationalized, let alone the money, 8 years will be wasted.

In the absence of long-term access to oil fields, technical services are actually the most profitable business. Sioux City gambled tens of millions of dollars, not for the small Kuvak oil field.

Therefore, taking advantage of the waiting period, the temporary camp has banquets every day.Bottles of vodka, whiskey and Erguotou are delivered to the table at the price of running water, which can fill five, six, seven or eight strong Russian men or women every day.

Li Zhengfu and Ito Nobushige also mixed in the banquet, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to get to know a few more people.

Sikong Guan is an old man in the banking industry, so he is very familiar with how to keep customers, so whenever he sees Singaporeans and Japanese, he drinks alcohol.

Similar to the Chinese, the Russians also like to drink and boo. After a few times, the Japanese and Singaporeans can't escape as long as they show up.They are all standard professional managers in large international companies. They live a life of drinking a couple of sips of red wine. How can they compare with the soldiers of the state-owned enterprise bank's alcohol test?

After spending a week with the Russian client drunk and dreaming, various news gradually came from the oil field.

"The first oil test failed."

"Second and third oil tests failed."

"The first oil test failed."

"The first oil test failed."

Messages came one after another, all of which were failures.

At the beginning, everyone was still able to treat failures calmly—it was a blessing to be able to produce oil once every time the oil was tested, and it was nothing to fail several times.

However, when the news of "the first oil test failed." came, many people could not calm down.

"I'll go to South Well No. 2 myself." Qin Shiwei's longer stay in Dahua Industrial, the deeper his feelings, he didn't want to see Dahua fail, so he hurriedly found Su Cheng in the office, and wanted to run away after leaving a word.

Su Cheng hurriedly grabbed him and said, "It won't help if you go to South No. 2. They can't test the oil, maybe it's a technical problem, maybe it's really out of oil, no matter what, at most tomorrow, the oil test will be over , can you guide them to test the oil in one day?"

"There are always more opportunities. When I was in Shengli Oilfield, I explored hundreds of oil wells, so I have more experience." Shengli Oilfield has more than 2 oil wells, and it is indeed a good place to practice exploration.After decades of development, the Shengli Oilfield is still being explored, and the production of test oil is still quite large.

"Even if I want to go, I will go to the second well, and oil testing will start there soon." No. 1 well can't produce oil, and it's too late. "

Qin Shiwei came up with this idea, and immediately said: "Then I will go to the second well, and I have to test oil for it. However, I heard that the oil wells of the Xinma Group will start testing oil, and you have to send a helicopter Take me there, Yi Wai, I want to take some equipment away, you have to find me a big transport plane, otherwise the journey will take 2 days, and if there is any delay, it will be troublesome...—…”

"No problem." Su Cheng agreed without him having to finish his sentence.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Qin Shiwei couldn't help saying: "Renting a helicopter is not cheap now, and heavy transport aircraft are even more expensive. You have to ask Alexei for help."

"Even if you don't tell me, I'll find you a helicopter. Dahua's chief drilling engineer spent two days running on the road, so that's nothing."

Qin Shiwei had stayed in a state-owned enterprise for a long time, and was used to bargaining before a business trip. After hearing Su Cheng's words, he had a strange expression on his face. He shook his head and smiled, "You are really willing to be capitalists."

Before 1992, being a capitalist was no joke, it was a pretty serious hat.However, following the speeches of the Southern Tour, the people of the country no longer asked about the surname of capital and society, and capitalists could use it as a joke.

Su Cheng smiled lightly, and said: "As long as you can earn the cost of the helicopter, I will earn it. The real labor is the labor."

"It's best if you can succeed in recording." Qin Shiwei is still not used to Dahua's way of spending money, but it is really useful to save two days at this time, otherwise he must practice strict frugality.

the next day.

Dahua's second oil well began oil testing.

At the same time, Xinma Group's Xin No. 1 oil well has also entered the completion state, with a depth of 2300 meters, 0 meters shorter than they expected, also to buy time.

At the banquet on this day, there were many fewer people drinking.

Even the old Russians who are addicted to alcohol, just take a few sips, shut up if they are half-hearted, and then talk clearly about the oil test with others.

From morning to night, there were non-stop telegrams, but none of the news representing the success of the oil test was sent.

Although everyone was a little disappointed, they were all used to it.

On the third day, there was still no news.

Li Zhengfu observed Su Cheng while feeling the pressure.

Nobushige Ito saw his pressure and comforted him: "Now is the time to test the level of the drilling team. We should be rewarded at this time for the huge price we spent. No matter how many people they have, they can't invest many people in one drilling well." , but our technology can play a big role.”

"That's right, our chances of winning should have been the greatest."

The two of them were talking, and the pressure seemed to be a lot less.

However, there was still no good news on this day, but Dahua Industrial tested the oil faster than them.After careful questioning, Dahua Industrial works 24 hours a day. Although the Norwegian exploration team also works [-] hours a day, only one-third of them work at night.

It was still the same on the fourth day. Seeing that the oil test was coming to an end, not only the two companies, Alexei couldn't sit still.

Whether there is really oil in the Kuwak area has become doubtful.

As the second well of Xinma Group is about to be completed, Li Zhengfu made a decision: "Drill to 3500 meters before completing the well."

It's not an easy decision.Drilling an additional 1000 meters will take several days, and a delay of a week or two is normal if there is trouble in the rock formations below.However, two wells of Dahua Industrial and one well of Xinma Group failed in oil testing, and experts of Xinma Group attributed the failure to the insufficient depth of the oil well. The depth of 2500 meters is indeed a bit shallow.

In doing this, Li Zhengfu put his hope between 2500 meters and 3500 meters. From a technical point of view, it does make sense.

His decision put considerable pressure on Dahua Industrial.

Whether to continue the original well depth or increase the well depth will directly affect the outcome.
