It is currently unclear whether natural gas can be sold to the south.

The country is carrying out a west-east gas transmission project. The first-line project route starts from Western Xinjiang in the west and passes through Qin, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu, and reaches Shanghai; the second-line project passes through Qin, after Henan, turns south, passes through Hunan and Hubei, and runs to Jiangxi and Guangdong;

The project is similar to the second route, except that the eastern part is diverted from Fujian Province.

Wang Hongbin said that at present, he is only planning to connect oil and gas pipelines to the three northeastern provinces, and at most he will sell them to Yanjilan.

This was possible because the leaders of China and Mauritius signed an agreement in 1999, and Chen Lidong reported to the top management and received tacit approval.

Even so, some people will have opinions, who? Daqing Oilfield.

Originally, the market in the three eastern provinces should belong to the Daqing Oilfield. Far East Oil and Gas Co., Ltd. represented by Wang Hongbin is like a dragon crossing the river, and it is snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

But why didn’t Daqing jump out to disrupt the situation?

The key lies in the exchange of interests. The first thing exchanged is crude oil, and the second is oil and gas fields.

Daqing Oilfield has always been mainly oil, with natural gas also considered.

Entering the new century, Daqing Oilfield has been in production for 40 years, and its crude oil output has remained above 50 million tons for more than 20 years.

But in 2000, the company took the initiative to reduce its production target from 5570 to 5460, a reduction of 1.1 million tons.

Why adjust?

This starts with the oil reserve-production ratio.

How is oil produced?

The middle school teacher said that it was the corpses of ancient organisms that evolved into petroleum after a long period of time. Petroleum comes from the corpses of animals. Petroleum is corpse oil, which is a non-renewable resource.

But how many corpses do it take to turn into so much oil?

Animals obviously die on the surface, why do we go underground and turn into oil?

There seem to be different explanations for the corpse turning into oil.

So a scholar from Mao Xiong put forward a theory. He believed that oil may be a substance that gushes out from the depths of the Blue Star. It is something that was accompanied by the Blue Star when it formed the planet, and oil can be regenerated.

The third theory is that some advanced beings built the universe and created the Blue Star, water, oxygen, soil, oil, etc., all of which were specially prepared by advanced beings for humans and all life on the Blue Star.

Just like humans raising pigs, they build a nest for it, give it water, and feed it, but it is very ignorant...

The fourth theory is that there are not only humans on the surface of Blue Star, but also humans in the center of the earth. Oil does gush out from the center of the earth. There is garbage discharged from the super factories of humans in the center of the earth. The garbage pours out of the center of the earth and reaches the surface.

Petroleum has been developed into energy by humans on the surface...

The fifth theory is that the earth's crust is constantly moving and changing, and the water carried by the moving crustal plates enters the mantle, reacts with materials inside the earth's crust at high temperatures, and generates oil...

In short, these latter views support that oil is renewable, but the cycle is longer.

In fact, so far, no super-large oil field in the world has been completely exhausted.

The Baku oil field was once depleted during the Su-Xiong period, but after entering the new century, news broke that it began to produce oil again.

Petroleum resources are often stored in basins, in underground reservoirs or rock formations.

The most appropriate way to extract oil is to drill wells at the bottom of the basin and extract the oil appropriately. In this way, the surrounding oil will naturally fill in the extracted part, ensuring the life of the oil field and low extraction costs.

As for the Daqing Oilfield, after years of high-speed, predatory development, there has long been an imbalance between reserves and production. The recoverable reserves are getting less and less, the taste of unused reserves is getting worse and worse, and the resources have been replaced.

The contradiction is very serious.

At the same time, the water content problem in various oil wells in oil fields is very serious. The water content of many oil wells exceeds 90%, and production is declining faster and faster. Some oil fields have reached the limit of economic production.

Next is the issue of efficiency. The increase in mining costs year by year means that the profit margin is getting worse year by year. This is certainly not in line with the laws of market economy.

Therefore, at the beginning of this year, Daqing Oilfield proposed the idea of ​​​​walking on two legs. The measure is to focus on local development and develop overseas.

Precision localization means looking for oil, controlling water, reducing production, developing in stages, and mining scientifically.

Developing overseas means going global and participating in world energy distribution.

Daqing's senior management realized that all major international oil companies have established a global market outlook.

In the past few years, Daqing Oilfield has also had some overseas business, mainly technical services. This year they proposed to extend from services to exploration and development, striving to occupy a piece of overseas business.

And in this first month, Wang Hongbin asked the leader of Daqing at the wine table: Do you want Daqing to come together to develop the oil and gas fields on Sakhalin Island? There is also a large gas field in Western Australia. Do you have any ideas?

Daqing's senior management immediately became energetic and went up to the pole to treat Wang Hongbin to dinner several times, and soon reached an intention to cooperate.

Far East Oil and Gas Company will provide several oil and gas fields and ask Daqing to assist in the exploration. The general framework of the cooperation is: Far East will provide money, Daqing will provide people, Far East will provide equipment, and Daqing will provide technology.

After the cooperation is implemented, the oil and gas extracted from Sakhalin Island will be sent to the country at a suitable price through long-distance pipelines, and the crude oil will be handed over to Daqing for processing; the natural gas from Western Australia will be underwritten by Lena Holdings.

Daqing is a little regretful, that is, it cannot obtain property rights, and the export is still technology and labor services, so it cannot "occupy" a piece of overseas business. However, it can take its time. Wang Hongbin said that Sakhalin No. 3 project is ready to invite bids.

time to play together.

Daqing's top management was as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. Wang Hongbin told him that there was no rush and a surprise would come later.

After waiting like this, after the Qingming Festival, Wang Hongbin invited Daqing to arrange a team trip to Longxing Island on the coast.

Longxing Island is in the Bohai Bay. There are oil fields in the Bohai Bay. There is the Liaohe Oilfield in the north, the Dagang Oilfield in the middle, the Huabei Oilfield further south, and between the Liaohe Oilfield and the Dagang Oilfield, there is a small spot called Binhai Oilfield.

Binhai Oilfield, headquartered in Binhai County, has been engaged in offshore oil exploration in the past few years. In July 1995, they offered a reward of 48 million U.S. dollars and signed a risk exploration contract for two blocks with Sam Country Mackey Company and drilled two oil wells.

Seeing oil and gas; in November 1997, at the same price, he signed a risk exploration contract with Agip Company of Double Eagle Country to drill an offshore oil well, but still failed to obtain oil and gas flow.

In early February, Wang Hongbin contacted Agip Company and offered to help the other party build an offshore experimental oil well within the scope of the contract with Binhai Oilfield. Agip did not have to pay a cent, as long as he signed an agreement.

Agip sent someone to contact the representative sent by Wang Hongbin, then he randomly clicked on a point on the map to determine the location of the oil well, and then signed a construction contract.

At this time, Agip Company was preparing to withdraw from the agreement and leave due to investment failure. People from Far East Holdings made it very clear: We plan to build an experimental offshore drilling platform, mainly to test the latest technology and equipment. We ourselves

Build it yourself, and the oil and gas produced will belong to you. If we can't produce it, we will evacuate ourselves.

How long does it take to build an offshore drilling platform?

Generally speaking, it takes a year. Agip once built a drilling platform that took 2 months to design, 6 months to build, 2 months to install and drill the well, and another 2 months to dismantle.

This time, the agreement between Agip and Far East Oil and Gas Company is only for one and a half years, because the contract period between Agip and Binhai Oilfield is until September 2002.

The people in Akip admire Far East Oil and Gas very much. Damn it, people are so stupid and have so much money that they can just build one just for the sake of experimenting with technology.

But that's okay, let's just treat the dead horse as a live doctor. Anyway, Dasha invests and plays for himself, and it only occupies a few acres of sea surface for his own exploration rights.

The contract stipulated that the Far East would be responsible if an accident occurred or pollution was caused. Agip's people left Binhai after signing the contract. They planned to see what the fate of Far East Oil and Gas would be in a year.

The fact is that not long after the contract was signed, an additional drilling platform was added to the sea.

How did it come about? Of course I used golden fingers.

A year ago, after the newly formed Far East Oil and Gas Co., Ltd. inherited the rights and interests of the Mao Xiong state-owned company, acquired the Sakhalin oil and gas field and signed relevant agreements, Chen Lidong received a system prompt:

Congratulations to the host for participating in the establishment of a large-scale oil drilling enterprise and obtaining the rights to exploit resources with a standard oil and gas equivalent of more than 1 billion tons.

The host obtains a temporary mission: Industrial Blood.

The requirement of this temporary task is to use the three oil drilling platform templates provided by the system to accelerate the collection of oil. If the annual production of oil and gas equivalent is 100 million tons within 3 years, the host will receive a mysterious reward.

Chen Lidong originally thought that the system only provided a design template for the drilling platform, and that workers would need to be arranged for manufacturing. Unexpectedly, the industrial assistant was still very capable. After signing an agreement with Agip to allow entry, Chen Lidong drove the yacht to the site to test whether it could be done.

The drilling platform appeared, and a big thing gradually took shape and appeared in front of us.

There are three types of drilling platforms provided by the system to Chen Lidong. The first one is the jack-up drilling platform in front of him.

This kind of platform is generally composed of two parts: the pile legs and the main hull. The pile legs can be raised and lowered. During operation, the pile legs are fixed on the seabed and the hull is lifted above the water surface.

This is a common shallow-sea drilling platform with good mobility and low cost. The general operating water depth is 5 meters to 120 meters. It is very popular among oil exploration companies.

According to the data provided, the platform provided by the system to Chen Lidong has a molded length of 65.2 meters and a molded width of 62 meters, which is equivalent to the area of ​​half a football field. Its molded depth is 8 meters, its draft is 5 meters, and its operating depth

It is 120 meters, with a maximum drilling depth of 9,000 meters and a load capacity of 4,500 tons.

As for the height, the three truss-type pile legs are 158 meters high, and the tail derrick is 76 meters high.

The big guy in front of him shocked Chen Lidong.

The yacht approached and climbed onto the hull along the gangway. Chen Lidong lamented that the money was not wasted.

To cash out this shallow sea platform, the system price is 250 million gold coins.

This is the most expensive equipment that Chen Lidong redeemed after supercomputing.

It is not a simple mechanical equipment, but a combination of various equipment modules. Generally speaking, this platform consists of a hull module, a living module and a drilling module.

The hull part includes the main engine room, power distribution and transformer rooms, as well as functional spaces such as cooling, fire protection, sewage treatment, fresh water storage, seawater ballast, etc.

There are four floors above and below the bow of the ship, a living building that can accommodate 150 people. The staff dormitory has double rooms, a restaurant, a bath, a recreation room, etc., and there is also a helipad for helicopter takeoff and landing on the first floor.

The drilling module is located away from the living area and arranged at the stern of the hull. It uses a mobile well position where the cantilever beam and the drill floor slide separately. The cantilever beam is a portal structure, and intermediate decks are arranged on both sides of the cantilever beam for some wellhead equipment.

It also has a mud pumping station and a mud tank with a capacity of several hundred cubic meters.

It took more than half an hour to visit this big toy.
