Volume 6, Chapter 15, Surprise

As Sha Zhengyang expected, the next day, Mark, on behalf of JP Morgan, agreed to deliver some information to Changhe Energy Group so that Changhe Energy can evaluate the real situation of the Akjiubin Petroleum Company project involved as soon as possible.

When three boxes of information were sent to the Beijing Office, the relevant personnel of Changhe Energy were already on high alert. They needed to study and analyze the information sent by JP Morgan and the early obtained information through various aspects in the shortest time to make reliable judgments.

Sha Zhengyang really looked at the oil and gas exploration technology business, and he could only rely on the professional knowledge and experience of these experts and technicians who came from Changhe Petroleum.

Due to the situation, the information handed over by JP Morgan is very precious. Although JP Morgan must have reserved it, according to JP Morgan's statement, this should be enough to make a more accurate judgment on Changhe Energy.

Seeing Su Yan coming out of the conference room with red eyes, Sha Zhengyang couldn't help it and asked in a deep voice: "Old Su, what's the situation?"

After rubbing his eyes, Su Yanlai was a handsome man with a low head, who was 41 or 2 years old. However, this top student who graduated from Yanjing Petroleum College is already a technical master in the Engineering and Technology Department, so he was sure to be among the first batch of personnel.

"I think it's okay. The information on the two oil fields of Zananor and Kenkiyak are relatively detailed. The Americans are so powerful that they don't know where they got this information. This is simply the top secret information within Akjiubin Oil Company. No, there are some reserve information about oil and gas equivalent that can only be available to the former Soviet Union or the geological and mining departments of Kazakhstan. No wonder Americans are so reluctant to leave it."

Su Yanlai praised the information endlessly, which made Sha Zhengyang very impatient, "Old Su, what exactly is it? Is it worth it? I am an amateur, I just need you to give me a simple answer."

"Well, the Zananor and Kenkiyak oil fields have been mined for many years, and to be precise, they have entered the middle and late stages. However, the geological conditions of Kazakhstan are different from ours, and what they say is actually the middle and late stages can only be considered medium-term in our country. My personal opinion is that these oil fields should be able to be mined for at least fifteen years, or even twenty-five years!"

Su Yanlai's words were filled with emotion, "The key is that the mining environment of these oil fields is much better than our existing oil fields in Changhe. This also means that if we do a good job in the mining process, the mining cost will be quite low, and the cost may be more than half of the cost compared to our Changhe oil field! Of course, transportation costs are not included."

"Really?!" Sha Zhengyang felt that his breathing was about to get rapid.

The cost of mining has always been the biggest hidden pain of Changhe Oil.

Especially since the 1990s, domestic crude oil demand has increased sharply, and Changhe Oil has also been developing more and more. However, all good plots have been registered by CNPC, and the blocks registered by Changhe Oil also have many overlapping areas with CNPC. There are constant disputes between the two sides. Now the mining environment and conditions of the collection area controlled by Changhe Oil are becoming increasingly harsh, and the investment cost is getting bigger and bigger, which has become an unbearable burden.

This also led to the fact that although Changhe Oil is still considerable in terms of revenue, its profit margin is declining year by year, and the decline is getting bigger and bigger. You Wangang is the most experienced in this regard. He also mentioned it repeatedly when talking to Zhong Guangbiao and Sha Zhengyang, which has also become a worry of You Wangang's restlessness.

"Well, this is no secret. The environment and conditions of many oil fields in our country are much inferior to those of foreign countries. This is based on the relatively low labor cost." Su Yanlai yawned, "Minister Mo is collecting relevant information. I guess a rough conclusion will be made this afternoon. I have to go and make up for it. I really can't afford it."

"Then go quickly and pay attention to your health. The workload is still high afterwards." Sha Zhengyang said quickly.

"Mr. Sha, is it true that once our group is sure to take root in Kazakhstan in the future?" Su Yanlai, who turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly asked.

"Well, this is possible, why don't you want to go?" Sha Zhengyang asked with a smile.

"Why don't you want to go? Organize and obey, of course. Having said that, Mr. Sha, when you have two kids in your family who are in high school and are about to go to college, you may feel that it is necessary to earn more subsidies abroad." Su Yanlai's face showed a painful and happy expression.

"Oh. Old Su, twins?" Sha Zhengyang was also happy. If he really had two sons who were about to go to college, he would be under great financial pressure.

"That's not what. The grades are pretty good. They are all ambitious and want to study in Yanjing, but where does the money come from?" Su Yanlai sighed, "The only one who is my father is a good person."

Looking at Su Yanlai leaving, Sha Zhengyang sighed infinitely. It was not easy. There must be subsidies for working abroad. This is also a considerable income. Even if you stay in Kazakhstan for the first half of a year, it is also a considerable income for ordinary cadres and employees. Of course it is worth considering, especially for people with poor economic conditions.

"What do you mean is that CNPC still has no clear attitude on this project?" Sha Zhengyang leaned forward slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"It should be so, mainly because they failed to cooperate with Uzine Oilfield and JP Morgan, which may have some shadows. They believe that non-market factors in Kazakhstan have interfered with too much, and are vulnerable to exclusion and attacks by foreign oil companies that have entered Kazakhstan. In addition, they also judged that Akjiubin Oil Company and Uzine Oilfield are similar, and they are both aging oil fields that have been mined for many years, and they think it may be a bit unprofitable."

Wang Chungang was still very cautious in making sentences with words, "But there are still people who insisted that they should take this step boldly, and they felt that this should be an opportunity. There are many opportunities in Kazakhstan in the future."

"Well, I understand." Sha Zhengyang nodded.

This is normal. If all oppose it, no one can see the coexistence of risks and benefits, he would rather doubt the accuracy of the information obtained by Wang Chungang.

PetroChina is just as talented as it is, but they are intercepted by themselves. Now that JP Morgan is working with him, they will not take the lead in obtaining more information, so they are a little hesitant.

It seems that we need to make up our minds as soon as possible and go to Kazakhstan one day earlier. Our future bidding opponents are not only CNPC, but also Texaco and Amoko, and none of them cannot be underestimated.

Even with JP Morgan's support, this only took the lead for PetroChina. For Texago and Amoco, everyone is just standing on the same starting line, and they even have an advantage, so they have to do their best.

Sha Zhengyang finally waited for Mo Xiaoqin's summary materials.

There was not much time, and Sha Zhengyang could only take a rough look at the thick materials in front of him and put them down.

For him, Mo Xiaoqin's oral report was more important.

"Minister Mo, I won't say much else. I know you have worked very hard these days, but I believe you also know the importance of this project to Changhe Oil and the group company. Because time is too urgent, I can't give you too much time. This week, you need to make a decision on whether we will go to Kazarstein to bid. You don't need to carry any burden. You are just talking about the prospects of these two oil fields under Akjiubin Oil Company from the technical level. The decision is the group company, and it has nothing to do with you."

Sha Zhengyang first unloads the burden for the other party, so as not to give out an opinion in such a huge project in just a few days. Even if it is an intention, it is crucial. You must know that this may involve billions of RMB investment.

Mo Xiaoqin is a typical technical woman with thick glasses under wine bottles. Although she is a little nervous, there is no doubt that her work these days has still made her very excited.

After holding on to her glasses, Mo Xiaoqin cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Sha, don't worry, I guarantee that with my party spirit, I will absolutely use my and our entire technical team to study and analyze the entire project data, and will not be disturbed by any external factors..."

Sha Zhengyang nodded in encouragement and signaled the other party to continue.

"From the information submitted to us by JP Morgan, most of this information comes from the Akjiubin Oil Company, which is very detailed. It contains both original exploration data and their work records in the later stage of construction and the development stage. The Americans have done a good job in this regard. In addition, some of them are estimated to be exploration data from the former Soviet Union's oil ministry or Kazakhstan's oil department...."

"Akjiubin Oil Company mainly focuses on oil production, including two main oil fields, including Nanor, Kenkiyak and Kazakhstan, and the country do not pay much attention to the exploitation of natural gas. In fact, there are a large number of natural gas fields available for exploitation in these two oil fields, but they either have not developed it, or they will be abandoned or simply collected in a companion gas method, which has very low efficiency..."

Sha Zhengyang also made a record silently. Judging from the other party's introduction, this project is still very valuable, especially for Changhe Petroleum. It is of great significance to obtain two stable oil fields.

"Kenkiyak oilfield is divided into Yanshang Oilfield and Yanshang Oilfield. Yanshang Oilfield is the oilfield that is being mined now. The geological conditions of Yanshang Oilfield are relatively complex. It was exploited many times in the Soviet era, but it was limited to technical and natural conditions and has not been successful. However, we feel that with the current technological progress, especially our Changhe Oilfield has rich experience and technological breakthroughs in the mining of Yanshang Oilfield, we think this may be a huge opportunity, and its reserves and output may bring us an unexpected surprise..."

"Oh?" Sha Zhengyang was excited, "Minister Mo, can there be a solid basis? This may have a huge impact on our future bidding."
