Chapter 375 Jing Shen

With the completion of the South 2 oil well, more and more Russians came to the temporary camp in Kuwak.

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

People always have faith, either lofty ideals or golden ideals. When Gorbachev buried the hope of the Soviet Union, and when European and American countries began to proudly announce the End of History, everyone naturally turned to the West and yearned for gold and silver.

In just a few days, Sucheng saw several senior cadres of the former Soviet Union, as well as real officials working in the Russian Federation, who also rushed to the Qiuming oil field.

At this time, Russia is like a warehouse to be taken away. The administrators tried their best to carry more wealth out of it. As early as the end of the 1980s, Russian oil was already a well-known gold mine.

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

At this time, loans from Western countries mainly focus on value-preserving factory projects such as electricity and smelting, while oil companies tend to take advantage of the fire. As Sucheng predicted, oil companies in the United Kingdom, Norway, the United States and other countries have chosen to own oil fields, invest, develop, drill, extract oil, transport and sell by themselves... Although each company will have one or two Russian partners, the power and benefits are very Less, it is also difficult to meet the growing desire of senior executives.

In some contracts, Russian businessmen can still get a few shares at the beginning, but with the increasing amount of investment, the share of Russians is constantly diluted. By the time of the real output, the share of the Russians can't be less.

Reasonable and legal means, coupled with the strength of foreign oil companies, soon made the Russians understand that if they want to make a lot of money in the oil industry, Kuwak's model is the best. If you can extract oil, you will make a lot of money in the early stage. Senior officials in the former Soviet Union communicate with each other. In addition, there have been the attention of oilfield bosses before racing exploration, and there are a lot of people gathered in the temporary camp.

Ito Nobushige and Li Zhengfu also paid close attention to the situation of Dahua. Their exploration speed is slower than that of Dahua, and the first well is drilled late. If Dahua's first well is oiled out of oil, no matter whether their oil well can be oiled or not, racing exploration is a loss. The amount of more than 50 million dollars paid for this is equivalent to drifting.

Companies like Japan and Singapore are different from European and American companies. After years of development, the latter's oil companies have become huge-scale super companies. Even for technical services, they are also for large oil fields. A contract of hundreds of millions of dollars may not be seen. Because of their high costs, they provide technical services for small oil fields, and the human cost alone is not counted.

As for large and medium-sized oil companies such as Dahua Industrial and Xinma Group, they are different. If you take out a super-installed oil field with a reserves of 2 billion tons, the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars paid in advance in the early stage may put a heavy burden on them, which is not as flexible as the flexible profits of small oil fields.

It can be said that in the Russian market, the big-headed oil field finally belongs to the giant like the seven oil sisters, and the small and medium-sized oil fields belong to the high-ranking officials in Russia. Only the technical service market is still empty and is competed by oil companies such as Dahua Industry.

If it hadn't been foredicting that Russia would be nationalized in the future, Sucheng would not have to compete with Russia's oil fields. It's too late to avoid it now.

By the time Putin came to power in 2000, there were only 8 years left. In such a short time, even if it is thrown to a Daqing oilfield in Sucheng, he can only earn back a cost at most. When the oilfield is nationalized, not to mention that the money has not been made, eight years will be wasted.

In the case of not being able to obtain oil fields for a long time, technical services are actually the most profitable industry. Sucheng made tens of millions of dollars in gambling, not for the small Kuwak oil field.

Therefore, while waiting, there is a banquet in the temporary camp every day. A bottle of vodka, whisky and Erguotou can be served at a high price, and five or six or seven eight Russian strong men or women can be poured down every day.

Li Zhengfu and Ito Nobushige also mixed in the banquet, trying to take the opportunity to get to know more people.

Sikongguan is old in the banking industry, and he is very familiar with how to keep customers, so as long as he sees Singaporeans and Japanese, he drinks.

Russians are similar to Chinese, and they also like to drink and make a fuss. After several times, Japanese and Singaporeans can't escape as long as they appear. They are all professional managers in standard international companies. They live a day of drinking two sip of red wine. They can't compare with the soldiers of the alcohol test of state-owned enterprises and banks. They don't even dare to get close to each other.

After a week of drunkenness with Russian customers, all kinds of news gradually came from the oilfield.

"The first oil test failed."

"The second and third oil tests failed."

"The second oil test failed."

"The first oil test failed."

The messages came one by one, and they were all failed messages.

At the beginning, everyone can still calmly treat the failure - 20 oil tests can produce oil once, which is a blessing, and a few failures is nothing.

However, when the "20th oil test failed." When the news came, many people could not calm down.

"I'll go to the South No. 2 well in person." The longer Qin Shiwei stayed in Dahua Industry, the deeper his feelings became. He didn't want to see Dahua fail. He hurriedly found Su Cheng in the office and left a word and wanted to run away.

Su Cheng quickly grabbed him and said, "It's useless for you to go to South No. 2. They can't test the oil. Maybe it's a technical problem, or maybe there is really no oil. Anyway, at most, tomorrow, the oil test will be over. Can you guide them to try out the oil in a day?"

"There are always more opportunities. When I was in Shengli Oilfield, I explored hundreds of oil wells, and I was more experienced. Shengli Oilfield has more than 20,000 oil wells, which is indeed a good place for exercise and exploration. After decades of development, Shengli Oilfield is still continuing to explore, and the oil test output is still considerable.

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

Qin Shiwei had this idea and immediately said, "Then I'll go to the second well and have to give it a try out the oil. However, I heard that the oil well of Xinma Group is about to start oil testing. You have to send a helicopter to take me there. Yiwai, I want to take some equipment. You have to find a large transport plane for me, otherwise it will take 2 days on the road. If there is any delay, it will be troublesome...-..."

"No problem." Su Cheng didn't need to finish him and agreed.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be laughing, Qin Shiwei couldn't help saying, "It's not cheap to rent helicopters now, and heavy transport planes are more expensive. You have to ask Arikesse for help."

"Even if you don't say it, I will find a helicopter for you. Dahua's chief drilling engineer spent two days running on the road. What is that?

Qin Shiwei has been in a state-owned enterprise for a long time. He is used to bargaining before the business trip. After listening to Su Cheng's words, he has a strange expression. He shook his head and said with a smile, "You are really willing to be capitalists."

Before 1992, capitalists were not joking, they were quite serious hats. However, with the speech of the southern tour, the Chinese people don't ask the surname of the company, and the capitalists can take it as a joke.

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

"It's better that you can record it successfully." 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 be thrifty.

The next day.

Dahua's second oil well began to test the oil.

At the same time, the new No. 1 oil well of Xinma Group has also entered the drilling state, with a depth of 2,300 meters, 200 meters shorter than they expected, in order to buy time.

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

Even the old Russians who are addicted to alcohol just drink a couple, and then talk about the oil test with someone clearly.

From morning to night, there are non-stop telegram exchanges, but none of the news representing the success of the oil test has been sent.

Although everyone is a little disappointed, they are used to it.

On the third day, there was still no news.

Li Zhengfu observed Su Cheng while feeling the pressure.

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

"That's right. The probability of us winning should be the greatest."

As the two of them talked, it seemed that the pressure was much less.

However, there is still no good news on this day, but Dahua Industry's oil testing speed is faster than theirs. After careful inquiry, Dahua Industry works 24 hours a day. Although the Norwegian exploration team is also working hours a day, only one-third of the people start work at night.

It's still the same on the fourth day. Seeing that the oil test is about to end, not only the two companies can't sit still.

Whether there is really oil in the Kuwak region has become a question.

As the second well of Xinma Group is about to be completed, Li Zhengfu made a decision: "Drill to 3,500 meters before finishing the well."

This is not an easy decision. Drilling an extra 1,000 meters will take several days. If you encounter trouble in the rock formation below, it is normal to delay for a week or two. However, the oil test of two wells of Dahua Industry and one well of Xinma Group failed, which made Xinma Group's experts blame the failure on the insufficient depth of the well. The depth of 2500 meters is indeed a little shallow.

Li Zhengfu did this by putting his hope between 2,500 meters and 3,500 meters. From a technical point of view, it does make sense.

His decision put considerable pressure on Dahua Industry.

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