Chapter 606 Generation Gap

Noon the next day.

Seven companies have determined a total of $16 billion raised to form an offshore fund. Dahua Industry, which invested the most, took out almost all the reserves, plus a loan of 1 billion US dollars, raising 4 billion US dollars, accounting for 25%, while British Global, which invested the least, also invested 1.2 billion US dollars, which greatly exceeded their original plan.

As the main body of internal transactions, offshore funds are naturally secretive, but the heads of the companies who come to sign the contract can't hide it.

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

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

The sixth drilling platform No. 506 is now standing in the Aseri Sea. In order to install it, Dahua Industrial has dispatched nearly 200 employees and worked for three months.

To be able to invite so many people, on the one hand, there is frequent good news in the oilfield of Dahua Industry, and on the other hand, it is also special to the No. 506 drilling platform.

This is China's first fourth-generation self-lift drilling platform.

The self-lift 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, the self-lift drilling platform with a maximum operating water depth of 150 meters and a maximum drilling depth of 6,000 meters is still the first choice for drilling on the continental shelf, and new or modified drilling platforms in various countries are similar. Data parameters. At most, it is just to improve the ancillary functions such as living areas.

It is understandable that Dahua Industrial Co., Ltd. independently completed the fourth generation of self-up drilling platform in 1994 and made 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, Xiao Aliyev, chairman of Azerbaijan National Petroleum Corporation, Minister Xu of China Machinery Industry, Lin Yonggui, vice president of China National Petroleum Corporation, Vice President of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Vice President Zha of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Director Mao of the China Development and Reform Commission were also invited.

Wang Dehuang, who originally made a local production "judgment", flew back to China early to report. Shi Wanke was left behind because of his technical profession and accompanied Vice President Zha of the head office to visit the drilling platform.

Schwanke has visited the No. 503 drilling platform. Looking at No. 506, I consciously found the way during the visit. Choose your own route, think carefully for a while, nod and sigh for a while, frown and scratch your head for a while. The expression is wonderful. But not much talk.

Vice President Zha, who is nearly 60 years old, patiently let Shi Wanke walk in front. After the whole ship circled around, he laughed and said, "Xiao Shi, what do you think of Dahua's drilling platform? Compared with offshore oil 931, which one is better?

Shi Wanke pondered.

Vice President Zha 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 from 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 with three barrels of oil in the 1970s and 1980s has undergone technical transformation, which is not necessarily better than it.

In terms of volume alone, Offshore Oil 931 has an advantage, and the frame with a length of 84 and a width of 33 is known as the world's largest self-lift offshore drilling platform.

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

Shi Wanke, who was thinking, laughed and said, "Mr. Zha, are you kidding?"

Vice President Zha trembled with his gray hair, and his face was full of wrinkles. He said slowly, "How can I be kidding?"

"Construction, speak more clearly and don't be ambiguous." Vice President Zha is the most strict director who follows the person in charge of publicity.

"It's okay. Take your time. There are still a few hours left for the celebration." Vice President Zha himself is a slow-moving man, and the fat on his chin trembles.

Shi Wanke's face was straightened and said with a little embarrassment: "I mean, Dahua's No. 506 is a serious four-generation self-lift drilling platform, which is a little smaller than our offshore oil 931, but on the whole, it has to be good. Bohai No. 9... Although it's our own thing, in private, it's really far from it."

"Well, what's the difference? Take your time and I'll listen to it." Vice President Cha simply found a railing and asked the accompanying staff to put down the small stool and listen while drinking water.

Shi Wanke feels a little strange. Vice President Cha is famous for his ignorance of technology in the company. He is a work of political work cadre. Therefore, although the starting point is very high, the promotion is extremely slow. The vice president has experienced it for nearly ten years. Shi Wanke thought to himself: Is this one enlightened? Do you want to live to learn?

After considering the words, Shi Wanke said, "In terms of the performance of the platform, the tonnage of the load and the self-sustainability of the platform are more important. The specific performance of Dahua's drilling platform is not clear, but I heard that the platform's self-sustainability is 45 days. At this point alone, Offshore Oil 931 is not comparable.

Worried that Vice President Zha didn't understand, Shi Wanke added: "Self-sustaining ability is the continuous activity time to replenish fuel, fresh water, food and other things at one time according to the design requirements, and not replenish them halfway. The self-sustaining time of offshore oil 931 is 20 days, which is long on our offshore drilling platform, but compared with 45 days, the gap is still obvious.

"Is this important for the drilling platform?" Vice President Cha didn't understand and said, "It's less to load at a time. Can't you send the supply ship a few more trips?"

"The wind and waves on the sea are relatively large. If you work at a time or place where the weather is not good, you need to reserve 5 days for 20 days. If it is far from the shore, it is very troublesome to supply. Actually. This is mainly a reflection of design and technical capabilities. In order to develop four and a half or five generations of offshore drilling platforms, 20 days of self-sustaining ability is the foundation. 45 days is actually not much. Because the tonnage of the drilling platform is very important, it is difficult to improve self-sustainability. In short, 25 days is the gap between one generation.

"The farther away from the offshore drilling platform, the longer the self-sustaining time will be?"

"Yes, if it is a deep-sea drilling platform in the future, it will take a week for the supply ship to come and go, and the self-sustaining time is short. It doesn't work at all. Of course, offshore oil 931 has no such problem, and its operating depth is up to 90 meters. It can't be driven anywhere." Shi Wanke said and smiled: "The working depth of Dahua's new drilling platform is 150 meters, which is also the gap."

"The gap between generations?"

"It's almost a generation." Shi Wanke sighed with a sigh of lament.

"What about other aspects? What's the difference in drilling ability?

Schwanke thought doubtfully and said, "The drilling is more detailed, the height of the derrick, the load of the big hook, the quality of the sky winch and other equipment. There are also well-fixing devices. Mud pump, blowout preventer, water separator, anchoring system... By the way, Dahua Industrial's anchoring system is top-notch. They once cooperated with Halliburton..."

"Do you understand all this?" The director of the propaganda department looked serious.

"I don't know much, from what I just saw and the things in Dahua's introduction brochure. It is much better than Ocean 931, especially a few key parts. For example, diesel generator sets, reducers, etc., they have been localized.

"That is to say, the level is higher than that of domestic research institutes?"

"That's, of course, 706..." Shi Wanke smiled and said, "We mainly do a lot of basic research in China, which is still different from enterprises."

He did not comment positively on 706 institutes, although 706 institutes are research institutes affiliated to China Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and there is no direct relationship with Ocean Petroleum Corporation.

Shi Wanke's sudden inspiration flashed, and he secretly think: Isn't Vice President Cha all his opinions on 706?

Of course, it's not surprising that there are opinions. State-owned enterprises are small kingdoms that can't wait to produce and sell themselves. If the situation permits, they can't wait to control all the profits in their own hands.

Let the 706 of the China Shipbuilding System master the drilling platform technology that is crucial to CNOOC. From the perspective of the thinking in the system, it is really not a good thing.

Vice President Zha gently turned the water glass and said, "As you say so, the offshore drilling platform of Dahua Industry is very advanced?"

"The brand-new fourth-generation products are only a few years behind the best self-lift drilling platforms abroad. Of course, a lot of their equipment is also imported, but it is rare to form an overall force. Shi Wanke is not stingy with beautiful words.

Vice President Cha looked at the Director of the Department.

The latter bowed his head slightly and said, "Construction is still relatively good in terms of technology."

"Hmm." Vice President Zha nodded slowly and said, "It seems that we need to have contact with Dahua. If CNOOC also has such a offshore drilling platform, there will be more room for cooperation in the Bohai region."

He asked Shi Wanke a little.

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

"How about it?"

"It's good, but... The offshore drilling platform belongs to Dahua Shipping Industry. They also have the business of lng ships. Even if it is Dahua's own order, it is estimated that it will be scheduled until next year. We just want it, but we 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 that the original design can be modified according to the feedback in use."

"That's it. If you book it this year, you can book it this year. If you can't book it, sign the contract and book it for next year." Vice President Zha is used to an order period of one or two years.

After making a decision, Vice President Zha slowly walked up and got to the platform. The Secretary went directly to Su City, but he was a few meters away and was stopped by the hidden Azerbaijani bodyguard.

"I have a big business to find Sucheng." Director Xie raised his neck and had a sense of superiority of Party A.

"I'm sorry, talk to me about business." Yan Xuecan came to the bodyguard with a smile. Now it's time for the offshore fund to start. Su Cheng won't see anyone.

Director Xie frowned slightly and reported to himself, "I'm Xie Baoguo from CNOOC. Please ask Director Su to come over."

ps: It's changed again. It's too late. RS
