Chapter 447 Caspian Oil
Since the reform and opening up, China's rapid development has often made it difficult for senior leaders to predict. It is often because something happens to think about the reasons and connections.
The same is true of the import and export of oil.
In China before the 1990s, oil foreign exchange was the main foreign exchange income, accounting for more than 50% at one time. In contrast, other domestic export products, whether they are handmade works of art, porcelain and coal, or agricultural and sideline products, the units are millions of dollars. Occasionally, there are tens of millions of transactions, which is bound to be a Report on the world.
Because of this, both the oil policy and the opinions of state leaders require oil companies to produce and sell as much oil as possible. The resulting foreign exchange income of more than 5 billion US dollars per year helped the poor China at that time to complete the upgrading of the industrial and commercial industry,
In 1993, it became a dividing line.
This year, China has become a net importer of oil. The country that originally relied on oil to earn foreign exchange suddenly used foreign exchange to buy oil, which inevitably makes it difficult for decision makers to adapt. At this time, someone carefully examined China's oil consumption, China's oil exploitation, and China's oil reserves...
People with a little economic mind will find that China's dependence on oil is so great that importing oil has become an irreversible fact.
For a while, the Development and Reform Commission and the State Council, which originally relied on oil and foreign exchange, all began a heated discussion.
As a member of the discussion wave, Qi Meng naturally thought of Su Cheng and his Dahua Industry.
to this day. This is also the only oil field China has acquired overseas. Moreover, the more we know about the world's oil industry. Qi Mengcai realized more and more that it was not easy and lucky for Dahua to get the Setan oil field.
This also impressed Qi Meng's vision of Su City.
Today, Qi Meng was anxious to hear Dahua's achievements in the shipbuilding industry and chemical industry... He not only wanted to know Dahua's thoughts on oil development, but also worried that Dahua would distract too much energy. In these aspects.
Due to the urgency, Qi Meng asked Su Cheng, "Do you have any plans for oil development?"
Su Zhenguo also turned his head curiously. He doesn't need to plan a specific industry problem, but oil, as the main energy source, affects a lot of people and things.
Su Cheng was a little stunned by Qi Meng's sudden question, and said with a smile, "Dahua Industry will naturally not give up oil development. However, the current oilfield competition is becoming increasingly fierce. We need to fully understand it before we can take action.
His words are a bit like a press conference, but they don't seem to report to the leader.
Qi Meng didn't care. He immediately asked, "Just as you know. Where will you choose for oil development first?
Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "It will still be the Asian part."
Asia has a wide range. The Middle East is Asian, and Siberia is also Asian. As a strategic goal, Su Cheng will not make it clear.
Qi Meng's focus is on the last two words of the "Asian part". He turned his mind and asked, "Russia?"
"It's the same direction." What Su Cheng said was a little insincere. Dahua is very interested in Rosneo-petroleum. There was a discussion about additional funds in Russia.
However, knowing that Putin will be like an emperor and have been domineer in Russia for 20 years, how can he spend a lot of time and energy to go to Russia to extract oil? It is purely to plunge the rest of his life into endless struggle.
The lifelong work of the Russian emperor is probably to eliminate Russian foreign oil companies and Russian oil oligarchs. Comrade Putin and his Russian existence are based on profits from oil. Anyone who wants to get involved in this is shaking Putin's foundation. This former judoka will work hard because of this.
An energy company should not be afraid of trouble and politics, and even military turmoil cannot prevent oil companies from making profits. However, doing what we can is the norm of all behaviors. Some companies such as ExxonMobil or British bp have capital coveted Russian oil. For the PetroChina company, which only has it at the end of five years, it is better to stay away from the exploitation of Russian oil.
Therefore, Sucheng has long excluded Russia from the target list of oil development.
The so-called direction is just perfunctory to Qi Meng.
However, Qi Meng himself thinks it is normal. Dahua Industry has business in Russia, and it is relatively easy to open up oil fields there. Although Russia's competition is fierce, Russia's oil resources are indeed surprisingly rich.
fantasizing that tens of millions of barrels of oil can solve China's energy problems, Qi Meng smiled and said, "In fact, we also have plans to build an oil pipeline and actively contact Rosneft. I remember that Dahua Industry has a gas company, which also installs oil pipelines? If you are interested, you can participate.
"The oil pipeline from Russia to China?"
"Yes." Since we have talked more deeply and faced with his superiors, Qi Meng said with a smile, "If there is no accident, we plan to build an oil pipeline from the Angarsk oil field in Russia to China."
Anda Line!
Su Cheng reacted as soon as possible.
This is not the first time he has heard about the Anda Line from domestic officials.
The last time, when I was going to Russia, Sucheng heard about the planned Anda line from Liu Bing. Sucheng raised objections to this doomed failed oil pipeline at that time.
Now it seems that either Liu Bing does not pay attention to his opinion, or Liu Bing's level is not enough to stop such a seemingly successful oil pipeline.
In fact, if it weren't for the prophetic foresight, judging from the available information, no one could say that the Anda line would fail. Furthermore, if it hadn't been for Putin's unplanned strength, the Anda Line would have been very smooth in terms of development.
However, the Russian partner company chosen by China is Yukos, which will be defeated by Putin. The failure of this pipeline is doomed.
The failure of this pipeline has wasted more than 8 years in China. It was not until around 2004 that the Anda line could not be completed, so I began to try other overseas pipelines. On the other hand, the oil delivery agreement, which has been delayed for 10 years, will also cost a lot of money.
However, to stop this oil pipeline, Sioux City does not seem to have enough capital. After all, they are in the negotiation stage from beginning to end. At most, it is a waste of opportunity. Su Cheng can't even talk about it without being talked about.
In addition, the occasion at this time is not suitable for detailed discussion. Su Cheng only said, "Such oil pipelines should be finalized as soon as possible, so as not to dream too much at night."
"We are about to enter the substantive negotiation stage." Qi Meng said complacently, "Once the oil pipeline is completed, China will not have to worry about the oil supply within 10 years. If Chinese enterprises can enter the East Siberian oil fields. That's even better."
Su Cheng smiled a little strangely. China in 2003, but China joined wto. At that time, the resource consumption could scare the decision-making level of 93 years. If an oil pipeline can be satisfied, that is to say, that is to say.
How poisonous Qi Meng's eyes are. Seeing that Su Cheng's face was different, he turned his head and thought about it.
At this time, the officials of the ship began to entertain the leaders to visit.
Su Zhenguo walked in front of him with a smile, looking kind and amiable.
Sucheng can't rob the scenery of Jiangnan Shipyard. Nature falls in the rear.
After a while, Qi Meng followed. He asked in a low voice, "Dong Su, let's talk about it in private. What do you think of the Anda Line?"
Su Cheng and he have been in a friendly relationship for several years. He smiled and said, "T to be honest, I think it's difficult."
"You, Su Dong, don't look like a person who is afraid of difficulties." Qi Meng gently held it.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "The political situation in Russia is unstable. I don't want to contact this kind of difficulty."
Qi Meng thought about it and said, "If there is no oil pipeline, Russian oil will not be lucky to enter China."
"In terms of domestic consumption, you can buy it from the international market."
"That's not okay. National energy security cannot be underestimated. If you buy oil from the international market, you have to pass through the Strait of Malacca. According to our estimates, by 2010, more than 30% of the oil we need will be transported through the Strait of Malacca, and new sources of oil must be opened up.
Su Cheng looked at Qi Meng sympathetically and thought to himself: It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's still light.
No person or institution can measure the stable and rapid development of China in the past 20 years. Even the Chinese government itself cannot guarantee and predict.
Therefore, Qi Meng and others make models according to the so-called high-speed increase of 3% or 4% in foreign countries. The later the estimated time, the more mistakes and omissions will inevitably be.
By 2010, China will need to transport more than 30% of the oil through the Strait of Malacca.
Even if Russia's oil pipeline is opened, it can't be fundamentally changed after all because there is too much crude oil needed.
Chinese people in 1993 would be surprised to see hundreds of workers riding motorcycles.
In the future, all employees of central enterprises can afford to buy private cars, and the amount of oil consumption will increase.
However, Qi Meng's idea is good, and Sucheng also hopes to ensure China's energy security. However, judging from the experience, by 2010, no country in the world can ensure absolute energy security.
The United States can't, China can't, Japan can't. Even oil-producing countries can't do it themselves - due to the lack of refining equipment, they often need to transport crude oil out and buy refined oil.
The more Su Cheng thought about it, the more strange his expression became.
Qi Meng looked at him, and his mind became uncertain. He couldn't help asking, "If I let you do it, what should I do?"
Su Cheng laughed dumbly: "This question is too big."
Qi Meng thought so. Even if they know it, it's hard to say. So he giggled and lowered his head.
At this time, Su Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Let's not talk about national energy security, but about oil development. I prefer the oil circle of the Caspian Sea and the oil pipelines of China and Kazakhstan or China and Afghanistan."
"Caspian Sea?" Qi Meng immediately searched for his memory. The Caspian oil circle includes Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, all of which are members of the former Soviet Union. But unlike Russian oil fields such as Siberia, these countries encourage foreign investment.
"It's just..." Qi Meng asked uncertainly, "From the perspective of the exploration of the former Soviet Union, there is a risk of depletion of Caspian oil."
Hearing what he said, Su Cheng was happy and said with a smile, "In another 50 years, the oil in the Caspian Sea will not be exhausted."
