Chapter 59 Oil Gambling

The so-called waste oil well is not a completely abandoned oil well, but a well with a daily output of less than 2 tons or a very unstable output. From the perspective of Shengli Oilfield, these oil wells have lost the need to reinvest. It is better to hand them over to private companies for cooperative development, and the income may exceed the operation.

However, whether in terms of the technology of the 1980s or the technology of another 30 years, there are many exploration mistakes. Shengli Oilfield is also famous for its complex geological structure. A large number of faults and many reservoir types can stun any expert.

In this case, a waste oil well that produces 7 barrels of oil per day, drills another 10 meters deep, and may become a high-yield oil well with a daily output of 300 barrels. But if you make a mistake in choosing a waste oil well that costs a lot of money to invest in, it may become depleted at any time, so that you can't even earn the electricity bill back...

The story of overnight wealth and loss of blood has happened more than once in this land.

Su Cheng heard a lot of stories in school.

His eyes, patrolled the map up and down, left and right, and finally stopped on several oil wells in Binnan.

Su Cheng looked carefully at the relative position again. Finally, he opened his notebook and checked the information inside. He did not hesitate to put his finger at the red dot in Binnan and asked, "Director Wei, can these oil wells be contracted?"

"5702 to 5705. It happens to be a piece of land." Wei Kong looked at the notes and said with a smile, "Of course, there is no problem with the contract. Four oil wells, together with the above equipment, are rented at 40,000 yuan a year. However, these wells are old, and I'm afraid I can't pick up a bucket in a day. It takes a long time to recover the capital.

Xiao Pang looked at Su Cheng puzzledly, but said nothing.

1 barrel of oil is $20, with an average of 4 barrels of oil per day, with sales of only $28,000 a year, and the oil must be closed at the official price, which is equal to a gross profit of 100,000. Remove the contract fee of 40,000 yuan, and then share the water and electricity bills, operation fees, labor costs and the indefinite amount of the relationship. If the operation is not good, it may be a loss.

This is also the reason why private oil production only emerged after 2000. By that time, the oil price had soared, the efficiency and price of the equipment had doubled, and although the contract cost had risen, the operating space had risen.

Wei Kong was worried that Su Cheng did not understand the market, so he specially explained: "The oil field has restrictions on the contract fee of each oil well, and these four wells in Binnan have been suspended for a long time. In the past, it was able to extract some oil intermittently, but it didn't work at all a few years ago. I suggest you choose an oil well in Tianjin. The price is a little more expensive, about 20,000 yuan per mouth, and the equipment rent is free for three years. Those are oil wells that can produce more than a dozen barrels a day, which is more cost-effective than these four combined.

"No, I'm optimistic about these four oil wells." Su Cheng knew that these wells could not extract oil now. However, under the shallow thick oil, there is another small reservoir.

is said to be small, which is relative to national reservoirs. Hundreds of thousands of barrels of reserves are millions of dollars to individuals. When he was in school, Su Cheng heard about the legend of Binnan's oil boss. It is said that he spent hundreds of thousands of yuan and became a billionaire in one fell swoop.

Of course, the oil price also rose to more than 100 US dollars at that time.

Under his insistence, Wei Kong still asked someone to make a contract for him. After everything was completed, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Su, for sending me the original pulp. Hey, after saying it once, I will let you remember it."

"Huang Ping just went to Guizhou." Su Cheng shook hands with Wei Kong and said, "Can you introduce an oil production team to me?" I think those four oil wells are in stock.

Wei Kong laughed and agreed.

Every small private oil-producing boss feels that the oil well he has chosen is in stock. Some people succeed and are specially written by the big book. If some people fail, there is no news.

The reservoir characteristics of Shengli Oilfield are destined to be a place for oil gambling.

Those scattered reservoirs are not connected to each other, as if they are deliberately hiding. The entire Shengli oil field contains two-thirds of the world's known reservoir types. No matter how powerful the exploration team is, it can't be exhausted. Even if such an oil field is thrown to the Saudi royal family, I'm afraid it doesn't have the patience to exploit it. In fact, even if it is exploited for another 20 or 50 years, there will still be undiscovered small reservoirs on this land - until one day, the large reservoirs in Shengli Oilfield will be developed and the equipment and personnel will be removed, and these small reservoirs will still remain there, which is equivalent to permanent waste. Because at that time, the cost of re-establishing the oilfield development environment will be far more than the value of small reservoirs.

Because of this, 20 years later, private oil production companies in Shaanxi and Xinjiang have been expelled one after another, but private oil production companies in Shengli Oilfield are in the ascendant. With the cost and efficiency of state-owned enterprises, let them bet on 5,000 tons or 10,000 tons of small oil reservoirs. If they win the bet, it will be a loss. Only small private owners can make full use of these resources.

If there is a chance, Sucheng may leave the large domestic oil fields to future generations, but there is no need for such disorderly distributed small oil reservoirs such as Shengli Oilfield.

After a few days, everything is ready.

The drilling team erected a yellow and blue K-shaped derrick with an effective height of 43 meters, which is as eye-catching as a TV transmission tower. The 6-meter-high drilling platform base weighs more than 100 tons and is connected to the ground by steel stairs.

The winch frame is on the base of the drilling table, and the steel cable is mounted through the universal shaft turntable, and the drill pipe and power system are connected. The generator room and the electronic control room are also mobile, which is firmly fixed near the base and makes a "rumbling" noise, which is enough to be annoying.

But Su Cheng was excited.

An oilman, no matter what his major is. There is always a dream in my life: to participate in an oil exploration and witness a thin oil injection.

Tens of millions of oil workers, millions of stone machinery, tens of thousands of enterprises, the financial resources of the whole country, the so-called, after all, this is the moment.

Xiao Pang and the seven or eight bosses behind him also clenched their fists.

In this era, there are few people in the oilfield, and the relationship between them is quite good. I heard that some people re-drilled wells, so they naturally came to visit.

Li Yao, the captain of the drilling team, monitored the work of the winch and turntable while introducing to Su Cheng: "Our target well is 3,000 meters deep, and 40 rigs are more than enough. You can see."

Su Cheng nodded sullenly and said, "Control the progress, don't be too fast."

Li Yao answered strangely. He has been a drilling team for many years. He has seen all kinds of requirements for progress, but he has never seen anyone who has been required to control the progress.

Su Cheng stared at the drilling platform without blinking. The waste well is also a intact oil well. All he needs is to go down 10 to 100 meters.

Fortunately, it was drilled in Shengli Oilfield, otherwise the moving expenses of the drilling team would be overstaking.

"The drill bit is down."

Xiao Pang looked in excitedly on tiptoe and roared in the loud noise, "Will it really produce oil?"

"In a few minutes, you will know." Li Yao shouted.

Xiao Pang can only nod vigorously. The drilling team spent their last working capital. If there was no large gushing of oil, the start-up would have failed.

A few minutes passed quickly.

Su Cheng's face was stiff and he didn't say anything, and Xiao Pang didn't dare to say anything.

When drilling the drill pipe to the end, Su Cheng was a little impatient - it took too much time. He couldn't help but doubt whether he had misremembered it.

Is the rumor wrong?

Su Cheng scratched his head and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"It's 10 meters." Li Yao said in a low voice.

"Why is it so slow?" The little fat roared close to his ear.

Li Yao was stunned: "Is it Boss Su who asked me to control the progress?"

Xiao Pang is so anxious that he can't wait to run around the well three times.

"It's 50 meters." Li Yao keeps reporting the number

"It's 60 meters."

The drilling rig drops smoothly, and there is no change at all.

The atmosphere at the scene became a little impetuous. Li Yao's hand holding the walkie-talkie was a little sore. Maybe he was not sure, and his hand had no strength. He just looked at Boss Su's calm appearance and clenched his hand a little. At this time, the drill pipe suddenly sank...
