Chapter 174 Simplified Platform
March. The second secret visit of the senior management of Formosa Plastics to the mainland was much more frequent than Sucheng expected.
However, the $7 billion project cannot be negotiated for a while. Historically, the two sides have played a three-year game and changed the conditions several times, but in the end, they have not done their best. Su Cheng doesn't have to wait for their negotiation to end the re-project, but it has to wait until the land is in place and the contract with Formosa Plastics is completed before starting construction.
The concern of the central leadership is completely different from that of the provincial leaders. As far as Sucheng knows, it is also a million mu of land, and Formosa Plastics can even choose: Guang "Donghui" state, Xiamen "Menhai" Cang or Mezhou Bay.
If you are an old landlord, you can live freely by farming on this million mu of land, not to mention a factory with a production rate of 100 times.
The scale level of Formosa Plastics has been accumulated for more than 30 years. If Dahua Industry is an experimental field, the plastic is a piece of ripe land.
Su Cheng is not in a hurry. The Abu Dhabi natural gas he needs to underwrite is calculated on an annual basis, and there is still a period of time before the underwriting. If Formosa Plastic Energy eats another 2 million tons, it will only have 6 million tons to be considered, and the pressure has weakened a lot.
On the other hand, Su Cheng did not have much time to think about it. The day after returning to Dongying, he stayed in the Chengdao oil field.
The 4,500-meter displacement well that has been put into operation rumbled and looked not eye-catching at all. If you look at the appearance, you can't imagine that the underground well would slant into the sea for several kilometers.
Everyone in the research institute was laughing and full of complacency.
Gu Haijian raised his chin slightly and said, "Factory Director Su, although the 4,500-meter displacement well is only half of the world's longest displacement well, it is also the first in Shengli Oilfield, and. This is just our first batch of large displacement wells, one 4,500 meters and one ,100 meters. The second batch will be completed soon, and the longest one will be 500 meters.
"How much crude oil can be harvested?"
"Within a radius of 5 kilometers, it is expected to be 2 to 5 million tons." Gu Haijian smiled and said, "Secretary Tao is very happy, saying that as long as we can get 1 million tons of oil this year, we will be given a bonus."
They are all technicians belonging to Dahua Laboratory. The salary is paid by Su Cheng, and what Secretary Tao can do is to pay the bonus.
Su Cheng laughed and said, "One million tons, can you do it?"
"3,100 meters is a thousand-ton well, and the No. 2 well of 4,500 meters can barely reach a thousand tons. If there is no 3,000-ton ultra-high-yielding well in the second batch of wells. I don't think I can get the bonus." Gu Haijian was also smiling when he said it.
His deputy, Sui Yuanqing, was not very familiar with Su Cheng, and further introduced: "The first year of the oil well is the improvement period. It often takes three or five years to achieve stable and high yield, and as many as seven years. The island oil field is still under exploration, and 1 million tons is not easy to reach.
Su Cheng nod and asked, "Where is the drilling platform? Is it normal?"
Gu Haijian replied, "Next, there will be a field test. To be honest, everyone is a little nervous.
"As long as the level of the large displacement well can be maintained. I think it's no problem." Su Cheng smiled and encouraged, "From October to March, in five months and 150 days, from technology to construction, the completion of the 4,500-meter large displacement well is not only rare in China, but also rare in the world. The bottom-type marine drilling platform is only our second step, and the next step is to do self-lift ocean drilling leveling. Taiwan, everyone works hard, if the sea test is successful. We also give bonuses, which does not conflict with Secretary Tao.
Everyone laughed.
And others dispersed. Su Cheng looked at the ocean drilling platform in the distance and took a deep breath.
Compared with the marine drilling platform he saw in the textbooks in later generations, this platform is much more simple. The platform is only 35 meters long, 22 meters wide, and the upper deck is 12 meters high. On the sea. If there is a big storm, you can't even see it clearly.
Such a platform can only be used in shallow seas, and preferably in smooth seas such as Gulfs.
Gu Haijian followed his eyes. He whispered, "This is such a bottom-type ocean drilling platform. Our localization rate is less than 50%. Halliburton has helped us a little. The main cost is on imported parts.
Su Cheng nodded slightly, which was nothing he could do. That is, 30 years later, the ocean drilling platform is still the field of foreigners, and Dahua Industry has taken a big step forward because of the stimulation of the island oil field. If we take the shortcut of offshore oil and land mining, it will still be a waste of 10 years.
Gu Haijian said with embarrassment, "Their technology is much more advanced than ours, so the price is so high. Moreover, their drilling platforms are basically electronic, and we really can't compare with them. Our foundation is still the follow-up research done by the country in the 1970s. After 10 years, the concept has made some progress, and the materials and equipment are hard to say.
"As long as it can be used, localization and don't worry. We use Halliburton's parts, which are cheaper than buying them directly, and we will slowly improve them in the future." Su Cheng said and said, "Can such a platform be expanded?"
"We are ready to expand the length and width to 50 meters and 35 meters, so that the weight of the empty ship is about 2,000 tons, and there is no problem in mining the oil fields in Abu Dhabi." Gu Haijian also knew the goal of Su Cheng. He stopped for a moment and asked, "I heard that the leaders of the head office will come to visit the sea test the day after tomorrow?"
"Secretary Lin invited several familiar department-level leaders, don't worry." The technology of the drilling platform belongs to Sucheng, but it should be used by the oil head office for free. Therefore, it is also a normal etiquette for Lin Yonggui to invite the head office to visit the sea test.
Because of the Abu Dhabi oil field, the relationship between Dahua Industry and the three major oil companies is a little stiff. However, this is just the opinion of individual leaders. Su Cheng knew in his heart that as long as Abu Dhabi oil is released, or the marine drilling technology of Dahua Laboratory explodes satellites, or the cooperation of Formosa Plastics is successful, individual leaders will become a minority of leaders...
It has to be hard to strike iron. Judging from the experience of Sucheng's later life, it does not put domestic competition first. Maintaining its own stable increase is the highest priority.
Gu Haijian is different. I heard that not only the leaders of the head office, but also Secretary Lin of Shengli Oilfield will come. He can't help worrying about gains and losses and saying, "Will our simple drilling platform be laughed at?"
"As long as it can be used, what are you afraid of?
" Su Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile, "If you are afraid of being ugly, you can paint your appearance as a whale. The appearance of a shark will cover up the ugliness."
Su Cheng said it was for fun, but Gu Haijian took it to heart. When he worked for the Brazilian National Petroleum Company, he received a lot of bureaucratic edification, such as using green paint to paint to disguise the lawn and changing Audi with a Mercedes-Benz car logo. Brazilians are also extremely skilled and are not Chinese patents.
After sending Su Cheng away, the more Gu Haijian thought about it, the more correct he felt. He found an outdoor advertising company overnight and painted the offshore drilling platform like a dolphin with them.
In an outdoor advertising company in 1989, it is quite familiar with drawing a beautiful woman or something. The understanding of dolphins is pure blue.
And Gu Haijian is a young man with a strong desire to do it. He went to help with several young researchers, pouring more than a dozen barrels of cheap blue paint and adding a little decoration...
In the end, the 12-meter-high offshore drilling platform failed to turn into a dolphin as desired, like a pregnant crocodile with a few arrows on its body.
When the overall image came out, Gu Haijian also realized his mistake. However, he arrived before he could modify the commuter boat.
The sea in March is still calm.
When the ship crosses the bay, you can see the drilling platform exposed to the sea level.
Su Cheng stood beside Lin Yonggui and was about to introduce him when he was stunned.
Lin Yonggui looked at the pregnant crocodile's buttocks, was stunned, and couldn't help laughing, "What's going on?"
"I guess it's a celebration ceremony." Su Cheng said helplessly.
"It's the way to learn from foreigners, right?" The leader of the head office smiled twice and said, "It looks a little strange, and the color is also a little strange. Is it blue?"
If the ship goes further forward, the shape of the platform will be exposed more. Jason of Halliburton, who came with him, finally smiled and shouted in English, "This is an ass. I didn't expect that after painting the color, it was very vivid."
Su Cheng had to cough hard to prevent the translation from being too conscientious. But there were many people who could understand English, and the commuter boat soon burst into laughter.
After getting on the drilling platform and seeing Gu Haijian, someone soon modified the name with stress and specially pronounced it as "Gu Haijian".
After Gu Haijian heard it, he was stunned.
Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "After a while, everyone will forget it."
"What if you can't forget it?" Gu Haijian's face was sad.
Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "Let's introduce the platform first..."
Gu Haijian's face was full of sadness and broken eggs.
After a while, Jason returned to Su City, leaned against the railing, looked at the blue waves in front of him, and said with a smile, "Su Dong, I heard that you want to make a bigger ocean drilling platform?"
"It's like this." Su Cheng nodded and looked at the person next to him.
Seeing that he noticed, Jason immediately said, "I would like to introduce you to a friend who is also our long-time partner in Halliburton, Mr. Simon of Fenor Shipping. Fenor Shipping is a solution provider of offshore drilling platforms. They do not produce by themselves, but they are leading in technology and have passed the certification of Lloyd's Classification Society for a long time. I think that since Dahua Industry wants to make it by itself, it should be interested in this way of cooperation.
Simon is strong, with extremely white skin, and feels a little sick. He said steadily in English: "Our Fenor Shipping Industry is one of the first enterprises to enter the offshore drilling platform. It can provide a complete solution. We can only provide technology, construction contracting, and there is no problem to do transaction key projects. The price is very reasonable."
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "How reasonable is it?"
"The oil field in Abu Dhabi only needs a drilling platform below 50 feet. The small platform provides full technical services for 6 million US dollars." Simon is not the first time to make an offer. As a technology company, they have even referred to Abu Dhabi's environment.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "This price is several times higher than our finished products."
"The technology is definitely several times stronger." Simon raised his head proudly.
Su Cheng's smile suddenly faded.
