Chapter 559 Bidding Instructions
"This time, the first batch of open areas to be explored have a total of 11, 5 at sea and 6 on land. At present, there are five pieces on the sea, Zafar and Mashaal, 110 kilometers southeast of Baku, six pieces on land, and Garaboli and Kalamartin..." Little Aliyev read the document in a stiff tone.
The representatives of the oil companies under the stage whispered to each other, and the excitement was uncontrollable, which was the opposite of the expression of the Azerbaijanis on the stage.
11 exploration areas! Even if only one-third of the oil is explored, there are four oil fields.
As far as the history of Azerbaijan is concerned, the 11 oilfields they chose may be very large. More than half of them have been initially explored by the former Soviet Union. This is the sincerity shown by Aliyev, and it is also a place where the Azerbaijanis on the stage are unhappy.
Put yourself in the place, if China finally succeeds independently, but foreign companies go inland and choose the resource points to extract the most important crude oil in the country, what kind of mood should it be?
However, this is the case with the world ecology of the law of the jungle.
In 1920, the Azres were defeated by the Bolsheviks and did not even keep their own martyrs' cemeteries. In 1993, the Azerbaijanis could refuse to be taken by foreign oil companies and refused to open the exploration area to foreign companies, but the result may be worse. The covexical Armenia, the hawkish Husseinov and Mamedov, the condescending Russia and Turkey... If the legitimacy of the government cannot be guaranteed, the value of a paper policy can also be imagined.
Aliyev, who was 70 years old, thought very much. Since he wanted to take out the oil field, he simply took out 11 yuan in one go. Anyway, foreign oil companies also paid for it.
This is somewhat beyond other people's expectations.
The so-called others include both representatives of oil companies and Azerbaijanis.
Su Cheng picked up the cup, moistened his lips, and suddenly felt a little moved.
Maybe, take another oil field unplanned?
Even if it is not as large as the Azijiu oil field, with the richness of Azerbaijan's oil and gas resources, the annual output of millions of tons of crude oil in any oil field is normal...
Of course, it is also possible that the oil field cannot be explored.
Su Cheng's suddenly inflated greed was stepped on the brakes. The Zafar oil field is a famous oil-free exploration area. After signing a big contract, the American company was enthusiastic about exploring here for three years. After all, it got nothing. It was disappointed and lost billions of dollars.
If Dahua Industry wants to take the Aqijiu oil field, it can't stand the toss.
The Aziziu oil field in another day, which once occupied 80 output of Azerbaijan's crude oil exports, is the biggest reliance of BP company known as "elephant dancing". If it hadn't been for the Tyumen oil field in Russia, BP is expected to become the largest company in the 21st century.
From the perspective of the future, the failure of BP more or less represents the failure of the British Empire. With ExxonMobil, it may not be so easy for Putin to take back his Tyumen oil field.
In China in the 1990s, even the GDP could not catch up with the British Empire, and it was difficult for Su to rise the pride of "Big Four Happiness".
"Aqijiu Oilfield is the first!" Su Cheng said silently, opened the delivered document, and looked at it carefully. He made a huge bet in Azerbaijan. Naturally, the goal is not just an oil field. However, the meal needs to be eaten in one bite. Only after winning the Azijiu oil field will he consider other oil fields. Furthermore, winning the Aqijiu oilfield can also enhance the status of Dahua Industry in the international oil industry. At that time, there is no need to leave saliva to fight for ordinary oil fields.
The conference hall is equipped with simultaneous interpretation, but only English, Turkic and French are available. Su Cheng turned off the sound of the headphones very little and focused on the document just distributed.
What little Aliyev said can basically be found in the document, and he is too lazy to practice listening.
The first two pages of the file are nonsense. Except for repeating the location of the four oilfields, the remaining seven oilfields are not explained. Only a few people know that the undecided oil fields include Zilag, 100 kilometers east of Baku, Elam and Murahanre in the Caspian Sea section. The former is the location of the Azijiu oil field, and the latter is the location of the large oil field that has attracted much attention.
Su Cheng quickly turned the page and found the way to bid for the oil field: floating share and signing fee.
This is the classic oil development template of the 1990s, and Su Cheng was gently relieved.
As long as it is a split model, although it is not as comfortable as the oil concession buyout policy that made oil companies happy in the 1980s, it is much more comfortable than the oilfield exploitation service contract after 2000.
Su Cheng pressed his fingers on the paper and slowly slid down:
For oil fields with an annual output of less than 1 million barrels, the foundation of the Azerbaijani government is 20.
For oil fields with an annual output of less than 5 million barrels, the base of the Azerbaijani government is 30.
For oil fields with an annual output of less than 10 million barrels, the base of the Azerbaijani government is 40.
For the oil field with an annual output of more than 10 million barrels, the foundation of the Azerbaijani government is 50.
The content of the bidding is to increase the proportion of the basic share. In other words, if an oil field with an annual output of more than 1.5 million tons is obtained, at least 50 profits will be distributed to the Azerbaijani government. In order to succeed in the bidding, it is possible for oil companies to give 55 or even 60.
Judging from the current oil price, this is not too much. After all, no matter what, it is a business that earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, a high-profit company has to pay so much tax.
The most attractive is the 30-year or 35-year contract period. Since the 1970s, Azerbaijan has had the longest contract. More than half of the value of the so-called century contract is in this contract time.
Because oil prices are rising, oil prices in the 1990s hovered between $20 and $30 per barrel, and the profit share of 50 fell on some high-cost oil fields, making it difficult for oil companies to get a profit of $5 per barrel. If an offshore drilling platform is used to operate, the interest expenditure invested in the early stage may cause negative assets in the first five years.
However, after 2000, the price of oil ended, and after climbing all the way, the superiority of the division of the contract was reflected. The highest price of $140, not to mention, the average price of $100 per barrel can be expected. Without costs, the profits that oil companies can get from 50 often reach as high as $30 or even $40, so that Mexico's deep-sea oil fields with an average cost of $50 or $6 are turned into a popular.
That is, from this period, the proportion of share contracts of oil-producing countries has decreased all the way, and soon fell below 15. After 2010, oil share contracts were almost banned, and all of them became exploitation service contracts. The oil-producing countries paid about $2 per barrel to the oil company according to the amount of exploitation.
Compared with this, Azerbaijan's century contract can be executed until around 2025. It goes without saying that the profits that oil companies can get, this kind of continuous cash income is what most companies in the business world can't want.
At the same time, this also makes the proportion of sharing extremely important. At this time, taking an extra 0.5 percentage points is more valuable than the future mining service contract. How to determine the proportion of the bidding will be very challenging.
Looking at this document, the whole conference room became much quieter.
Su Cheng pondered a little, turned the page again, and found the second project, the contract gold part.
The signing fee is the signing fee of the oil company. This is a pure cash expenditure. Every time an oil field is obtained, a signature fee must be paid first before exploration and exploitation. After that, even if the oil field is not found, the signature fee will not be refunded.
The basic signing fee set by the Azerbaijani government is 50 million US dollars, which is less than expected. However, the 11 oilfields also have revenue of 550 million US dollars, which is enough for the Azerbaijani government's expenditure.
Aliyev was so nervous to hold an oilfield bidding explanation meeting. The first thing he was staring at was the signature fee.
The shared income will definitely not be available in a year. The signature fee is different. This is the fund that can solve the urgent need, that is, the fund that can stabilize the regime. Aliyev would rather get less than put it in the bag first.
Su Cheng closed his eyes and fell into thinking.
Little Aliyev on the stage is still speaking, but there is almost no one to listen carefully.
Except for the number and location of oil fields and the bidding method, there is nothing worth knowing.
Half an hour later, Aliyev concluded the meeting and said, "The bidding instructions will end here. Starting from next week, the Ministry of Petroleum of Azerbaijan will begin to accept the tenders of various companies, and the deadline is the 10th of next month. The specific information of the oil field will be notified before the bidding deadline.
The specific information of the oil field will be notified before the bidding deadline, but he did not say the specific date. This is a common means of oil-producing countries to limit the information to avoid some bad oilfields from being unable to sell the price or even auction.
If the oil company can't find any other way to get this information, it has to prepare for two sleepless nights two or three days before the deadline - try to get as much information as possible by grabbing time.
But no matter whether oil companies can find other means, oil-producing countries will not suffer losses.
Aliyev didn't mean to talk more with everyone. He simply said a word and left the meeting.
Little Aliyev sent his father away, then smiled down and greeted the companies.
There are many companies in the venue. He only had time to say a few words with Su Cheng and turned to other tables.
A handsome foreigner hurried to Dahua and gave a letter to Sucheng, saying, "Mr. Dukat said that he was willing to fulfill the previous transaction."
"I got it." Su Cheng opened the letter, which was Ducat's handwritten letter. In the face of the ** of 11 oil fields, he is undoubtedly willing to reach a so-called "gentleman's agreement" with Su Cheng.
No matter how you look at it, the benefits of giving up the bidding for one oil field in order to get information about another 11 oil fields are self-evident. In fact, Su Cheng is the only oil company that knows the information of the other seven oil fields. Even if BP has a way, there can't be a faster way to get oilfield information. Even if it is a week ahead, it can give a more accurate judgment on the oil field. What's more, there are 11 oil fields to be inspected.
"Now give the oilfield information to Ducat. What if he regrets it?" The speaker is Qin Yun, the daughter of President Qin, who is also Xiao Pang's wife. This calculating woman, with her personal ability, has been the core employee of Dahua Industry for a long time. Unlike the straightforward President Qin, Qin Yun's sense of trust is very weak. When she was in the Dahua Strategy Department, she was a difficult person for suppliers to be afraid of. Now, she has bet her distrustful eyes on the British.
"Know yourself and know your enemy. Naturally, you have to find a way to know whether Dukat will repent." Su Cheng's voice was clear, and he was obviously in a state of calm thinking.
Qin Yun's eyes were still on the back of the handsome British student, and asked strangely, "How can I be sure if Ducat has repented?"
"Yes, how to be sure." Xiao Pang moved gently, blocking Qin Yun's sight.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "The opinions of the oil company will ultimately be expressed in the tender. When we get the news of the tender, we naturally know the idea of the oil company.
"What if they bid at the last minute?"
"As long as the bid opening time is later than the bidding time." Sucheng looked at little Aliyev. He finally decided to be the president of the National Petroleum Corporation. The schedule of the tender and the whole process of finalization are also in the hands of little Aliyev.
In other words, if you get through the work of little Aliyev, even if you get through the work of tenders. And what price Dahua will eventually bid at must be decided by competing companies.
