Chapter 595 Oilfield Scale
The ship across the surface of the inner ocean swings slightly with the waves.
Most of the companies that have obtained oil blocks have sent people to visit the oil wells of Dahua Industry. The offshore drilling platform that has just been controlled is slightly dilapidated, and the part that has been baptized by crude oil is stained. However, the energetic workers are enough to make up for all the appearance.
No matter how beautiful the drilling platform is, no crude oil output is useless. No matter how dirty the drilling platform is, if you can get crude oil, it will be the most dazzling star.
Countless people looked at a building-like sea drilling platform with intoxicated eyes.
"Dahua Industry did find a large oil field. I heard that the derrick was washed up to the sky? The last time I heard about this kind of thing, it was decades ago. It seems that there was also the same situation in the Texas oilfield. It's really a good time to miss. Ducat was holding a civilized stick, and the first thing he mentioned was the "accident" a day ago.
It is indeed an accident. The derrick is washed up, and the probability of hitting people and flowers and plants is very high. Even if it does not hit people and flowers and plants, it hits the drilling platform made of pure metal, the splashed sparks may cause a huge fire. Under the derrick is flammable oil.
And at sea, in the event of an uncontrollable fire, the offshore drilling platform usually has to give up one way, and the consequences are also continuous.
Fortunately, the "accident" in Dahua did not cause the first bad result, and this kind of impactful story is popular even for oilmen. The oil field hidden below the sea has so much underground pressure. No matter how you think about it, it must be a big oil field.
Su Cheng did not shy away from this and said with a smile, "It's still a good era. At least, it's still an era where great oil fields can be found. It's hard to say, it's another Qiuming oil field..."
"Another Tyumen oil field? That's how Su Dong views the new oil field? Ducat is well-informed, but like his fellow oilmen, he does not realize the importance of the Caspian oil field. In fact, like many industry insiders in the 21st century, the oil people in the 1990s also thought that they had found all the super oil fields on the earth. "It is no longer possible to have an oil treasure house like the Middle The assertion of "eupt" was almost a common understanding before the development of the Caspian Sea region. As a British Ducat and an employee of BP, it is natural to think that the Tyumen oil field currently controlled by BP should be the last super oil field discovered by human beings.
As for the new oil field of Dahua Industry, although it has valuable underground pressure, it only shows that it is a large oil reservoir.
How can the sexy super oilfield of the Tyumen oilfield be judged by the first tide of an oilfield?
Qiuming Oilfield is a huge oil area, just like the Daqing Oilfield, or Shengli Oilfield, which is composed of a series of large reservoirs. Dahua Industry has discovered a large reservoir at best. Is this large reservoir isolated large reservoir or composed of a large reservoir and a series of small reservoirs? The ever-oil area, or really part of a series of large reservoirs, can only be known after exploitation.
There are many large oil reservoirs found around the world. BP's current policy is to constantly hunt "elephants", that is, oil fields with reserves of more than 1 billion barrels of crude oil, but like the Tyumen oil field, no one really pays for hope.
Su Cheng was full of confidence and said with emotion, "A Qijiu's output will only be higher than that of the Qiuming oilfield. In the future, this will be the benchmark of Caspian oil."
"Are you serious?" Ducat was surprised, and in an instant, he thought with a little smile: In the past, he always felt that Su Cheng was more mature than his peers, but he didn't expect that he was finally naive. Probably, it's the result of oiling, let him relax.
Ducat asked with a smile, "There is so much pressure underground, and the output on the first day is very high, right?"
"It's 70,000 barrels a day, with very little water content." Sucheng is really relaxed. Since Aijiu's oil came out, the deepest fear hidden in his heart is that he is worried that the fear that the Aijiu oilfield did not appear as expected disappeared, and all that was left was the happiness of the harvest.
For the current Dahua Industry, if the investment of more than 500 million US dollars in the early stage is lost, the efforts of the past year and more than two years will be in vain. On the contrary, if we can see Aqijiu producing oil, the development of Dahua Industry every early half a year may be a year faster. In China, a land that has just been reformed and opening up, if it can lead the development of a year, it will bring a multiple increase in the size of enterprises, that is, from the perspective of the world, Chinese large-scale enterprises in 20 years will also be world-class enterprises.
Ducat tweeted twice for the daily output of a single well of 70,000 barrels, and laughed, "This is a 10,000-ton well, a 10,000-ton well. In this way, it is undoubtedly a big oil field.
10,000-ton wells are usually only seen in areas where crude oil is very rich, such as the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as countries such as Venezuela and Russia, so it is normal to use 10,000 tons of wells to judge the existence of large oil fields.
However, Ducat still only admits that this is a big oil field in his heart, and does not admit that Dahua Industry will see a large oil area.
In fact, due to the limited area obtained from the bidding, compared with several nearby oil blocks, Dahua Industry has the same opportunity to get a large oil area and other companies to get a large oil area. Maybe there is a possibility that the large oil area is still in the hands of Azerbaijan.
Ducat will not refute Su Cheng, but said with a smile, "There is no doubt that Su Dong's investment will be taken back. Come by the way, you still use the mode of high signing fee and low share? Is it more than 50%? Now, in less than a year, the over-expended signing fee can be recovered, and then it is a revenue period of more than 30 years. Ha, the century contract... That is, the chairman of Sucheng dares to choose the model of high signing fee and low share. In a rough calculation, tens of millions of dollars will be added every year.
With that, Ducat's nerves were also touched. After a short pause, he said, "If you think about it carefully, it's not. Even if I am the chairman of the company, I can't make such a decision. Professional managers will only have the thinking of professional managers. For the sake of safety, I would rather choose the mode of Reducing risks, risks, is the company's enemy.
"If the company is not too small, I will probably choose the ordinary signing method." Su Cheng grabbed the boat gang and looked out.
Ducat smiled and said, "With such an oil field, it is impossible for the scale of Dahua Industry to become smaller."
"It can't be realized immediately. By the way, the barrel of oil subsidies promised by His Excellency Aliyev has not been issued yet, right? Sucheng asked about Aliyev's promise on the same day that the first oil company to extract oil could get a subsidy of 50 cents per barrel of oil. According to the cost of about $20 a barrel of oil, it is equivalent to subsidizing 2.5 oil production costs, which is quite a lot.
When the people on the boat heard Su Cheng's words, they unconsciously grinned. Ducat whispered, "Dahua Industry is the first company to see crude oil."
Dahua Industry is well prepared, which can be traced back to two or three years ago, including offshore drilling platforms and other equipment. It has been planned for long-distance transportation, and the experiment is reasonable. In contrast, several companies have not set up drilling platforms until a few months later.
Of course, the new exploration method adopted by Dahua Industry and intensive drilling are also of great help.
Considering the possible explosion of the production capacity of the Azijiu oilfield, the subsidy that Aliyev will pay for this is absolutely beyond his expectations.
Even if it produces 500,000 barrels of crude oil a day, it means that $250,000 a day is much higher than the daily expenditure of an ordinary city or several large state-owned enterprises. If 1 million barrels per day is produced, Aliyev will give a subsidy of $150 million a year, which will offset a lot of taxes.
Su Cheng put his mood on his face, and the corners of his mouth were up. He said, "It seems that he is going to make some money... If the next drilling goes well."
"That's not a little bit."
"Well, if the oil production is high." Su Cheng paused and smiled, "Mr. Ducat, what do you think will happen to the crude oil market if we really find an oil area as big as the Tyumen oil field?"
"The crude oil market? If there is no other situation, a Qiuming oilfield will put great pressure on the oil price..." Ducat didn't need to say it, but a little understood Sucheng's meaning. He laughed twice and repeated the old saying, "Of course, the first thing is to find another Qiuming oilfield."
Su Cheng nodded and said, "If you really find another Tyumen oil field, don't hoard it."
"If..." The smile on Ducat's face slowly put away and said unexpectedly, "Su Dong is so serious, and the results of underground exploration are very good?"
"The result is hard to say." The English used in Sucheng is heard in everyone's ears, but the results of underground exploration cannot be said.
The people on the ship looked at the drilling platform in front of them and fell silent at the same time.
The oil market was not tight in the 1990s. Since the end of the Iraq War, the overall situation has stabilized. If there is a large oil supply, it is natural to go down.
Unlike what ordinary people think, the fluctuation of oil prices is often not determined by long-term contracts with a transaction ratio of 92, but by spot contracts that account for only 8 transactions. Therefore, whenever the oil production fluctuates by 1, it is equivalent to a fluctuation of 10 for the global market, such as the terrifying production oil fields such as the Tyumen Oilfield or the Aqijiu Oilfield. Once they appear, the impact on the market price is quite serious.
From the perspective of profit, it is predicted that large oil fields will appear, and it is easiest to make money by selling long-term oil futures in the air.
Of course, this method is a violation of the securities laws of most countries, so Su Cheng's statement is more euphemistic. For the guys of oil companies, in order to get oil fields, they even dare to get involved in arms smuggling, it is nothing to violate the securities law.
As for the oil companies in emerging market countries such as Dahua Industrial, Venezuela National Petroleum Corporation and Petrobras, they are not afraid of European and American securities laws.
There were more than a dozen oil companies present. Dozens of people looked at each other and turned their heads tacitly.
In fact, there is no need for a super oil field. Even if it is a large oil field, if several large oil companies cooperate, the futures price can be thrown down.
It should be said that the oil field is more like a tacit lubricant.
