Chapter 616: The World's First High-Production Single Well
This time, Oriental Oil workers had no time to celebrate.
Because a serious problem lies ahead - there is no place to store oil!
The offshore drilling platform explores, drills, and then seals the well. The offshore oil production platform comes to take over the subsequent work. This is a general operating process.
The fourth-generation offshore drilling platform currently being developed by Halliburton actually integrates oil production functions. In the era of low oil prices, this is a cost-saving approach.
Dongfang No. 5 is only a third-generation offshore drilling platform. If it were not a self-effluent well, it would not be able to pump out the oil from the seabed. The oil storage tanks are only for emergency use. The reserves are only 2,000 tons and are already full.
Yao Yuan had no time to express his excitement and said seriously to Ruiz, "Mr. Minister, I need the nearest oil storage ship reinforcements, as many as I need!"
Ruiz had no time to report to Crown Prince Khalifa. He snatched the satellite phone from his secretary and dialed the number while saying, "I have transferred all nearby ships that can load oil! Don't worry, Mr. Yao, please
rest assured!"
A single well with a daily production of 50,000 tons!
13,000 tons more than Azel 4!
This is the new most productive single well in the world, and this is the glory of the United Arab Emirates!
A passing oil tanker was urgently requisitioned by the UAE government and canceled its subsequent voyage and drove directly over. Two 10,000-ton oil storage ships parked at the port received emergency orders and rushed over. A 300,000-ton oil tanker was preparing to load crude oil at the port.
They were urgently hired by the UAE government at a high price and drove over immediately. If it wasn't enough, all the empty ships in Abu Dhabi Port that could hold crude oil received emergency employment orders from the UAE government, requiring them to all go to the Sedan Oilfield...
These are only stopgap measures.
But these are all the UAE can do. The rest can only be done by Oriental Petroleum, and Yao Yuan will not do anything to others.
Yao Yuan said to Su Jianmin, "Lao Su, immediately issue an emergency mobilization order, immediately start the construction of the oil pipeline, organize all of us in the UAE, urgently transfer manpower and equipment from the Baku oil field, contact Wen Tiejun, and ask the Petroleum General Manager
The company produced the required pipelines and other equipment in the shortest possible time, and all were transported by air. Contact COSCO Shipping and I asked them to send all their oil tankers to the United Arab Emirates for transportation! In a word, you must not waste a drop of crude oil!
"
Su Jianmin immediately took out his satellite phone and started dialing, but found that his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't press the keys accurately. He slapped himself hard twice, and then slowly calmed down.
No one laughed at him because the situation of others was not much better than him!
Frank of Dutch Shell, Cornell of France's Total, Hans of ExxonMobil, Johnson of BP, Jackson of Halliburton...
They all had dull expressions, and their eyes were fixed on the pipes that continuously transported crude oil to the "Adele" oil storage ship. They seemed to see the crude oil under the sea happily rushing out from underneath.
Then he rushed into the profit pool of Oriental Petroleum without hesitation...
For the first time, Yao Yuan felt like he wanted to do something but didn't know what to do. This was his first time in this world.
There are many things to do, but I don’t know where to start.
Yes, the dark crude oil told him that Dongfang Petroleum has created a world miracle, a miracle that belongs to the world in this era.
"Gross profit of 2.4 million US dollars per day..." Hans's arithmetic skills were still functioning subconsciously, and he was calculating without focus, "72 million US dollars per month, 864 million US dollars per year, gentlemen, Mr. Yao
He is already the richest man in the world."
Hans said blankly, "Yes, the output of Dongfang No. 5 well has made Mr. Yao the richest man in the world. Gentlemen..."
Others lost the ability to think and were still in a daze.
At this time, apart from Yao Yuan, the only ones who are calmest are Qin Zhenjun, technicians and workers, because their work is not over yet.
The workers are busy controlling the amount of self-injection. Yes, they must find a way to control the self-injection, otherwise there will be no time to absorb the swarming crude oil.
Oil companies all over the world are trying to find ways to put pressure on the oil in the ground and pump it out, and they are investing tens of millions of dollars in research funds for this purpose. Now, Dongfang Petroleum must find a way to make the crude oil that escapes out by itself.
Way back, and no more blowouts!
Qin Zhenjun is an old petroleum expert after all. Perhaps because he has experienced too many flashes in the pan, at this moment, he has not given up on well logging. The more times he tests, the more real the data becomes. Production logging can not only obtain daily production, but also
The reserves can be proven, both of which determine the production scale and sustainable production capacity of Dongfang No. 5. Maybe the main oil layer of the Sedan Oilfield is under the Dongfang No. 5 well, or maybe it is not. A large amount of data is needed for analysis.
At this time, Yao Yuan began to drive people away. He said unceremoniously to the representatives of several major oil companies, "Everyone, it is no longer suitable for you to stay on the platform. I have arranged a helicopter for you. Mr. Minister, you
It’s time to return.”
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, Mr. Yao, please feel free to contact me if you need anything. I will prepare a grand press conference and the most luxurious celebration party at the Kempinski Hotel. I am waiting for your news.
." Ruiz has no airs as a minister. Compared with a single well producing 50,000 tons of crude oil per day, the oil minister is nothing.
Yao Yuan smiled and nodded, "Please convey my greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"His Royal Highness will personally celebrate your success for Dongfang Petroleum." Ruiz bent down, shook Yao Yuan's hand hard, and gave Yao Yuan a big hug.
Yao Yuan asked Su Jianmin to give it to them, and the group had to leave no matter how reluctant they were. They also knew that the next work was a corporate secret of Dongfang Petroleum, and Yao Yuan would not allow them to continue to visit.
After the "Adele" oil storage ship was filled with crude oil and returned home, the passing oil tanker arrived quickly. After hurrying and slowing down, the ship finally connected smoothly.
Yao Yuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He and Lin Shuting, who had come down, sat on chairs and looked at the busy work in front of them on the work deck. Suddenly, he felt that there was nothing more he could ask for.
At this time, it was after four o'clock in the afternoon in China, and Wen Tiejun received a call from Su Jianmin.
"What? Five thousand tons per day?" Wen Tiejun stood up suddenly.
Su Jianmin stood on the helicopter landing platform and looked at a bunch of oil tankers coming in the distance. He loudly said, "No! It's 50,000 tons! The daily production is 50,000 tons! The most productive in the world!"
"Five...fifty thousand tons?" Wen Tiejun's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Su Jianmin laughed loudly, "Yes! Mr. Wen, we will continue domestic support! We need to produce another batch of oil pipelines and supporting equipment in the shortest possible time! The quantity is ten times the previous one! All are transported by air.
, and support our group of workers at the same time!”
It took more than a minute for Wen Tiejun to digest the news.
His first reaction was that Dongfang Petroleum was cheating, but Wen Tiejun's next words completely dispelled this suspicion.
Wen Tiejun said, "You are familiar with COSCO Shipping. Please contact us. We need all their tankers. All the tankers that can be transferred will be transferred. Mr. Yao said that all the first batch of crude oil from Dongfang 5 will be shipped back to China!"
After making contact, I will send someone to initial the agreement and send the money the same day!”
"I, OK! OK! Mr. Su! Please tell Mr. Yao that I am responsible for the domestic side!" Wen Tiejun seized the opportunity to express his position.
Petroleum Corporation and Dongfang Petroleum are all-round partners. Good things for Dongfang Petroleum are good things for Petroleum Corporation. Moreover, Yao Yuan is also an individual shareholder and independent director of Huaxia Petroleum Co., Ltd.!
We must fully support you both emotionally and rationally!
The news spread throughout the country at an extremely fast speed this afternoon. New United Airlines and New Beihang Airlines received emergency orders to mobilize sufficient transportation capacity to ensure the transportation of materials to support the Sedan Oilfield.
At the same time, in the recent Baku oil field, a group of skilled workers and related equipment have gathered and will be transferred to Abu Dhabi by chartered flight, and then the rapid construction of oil storage tanks and other related facilities will be carried out at the forward base.
The Sedan Oilfield Advance Base will be built into a production base. This major project, which should only be fully implemented in a few months, has been started at this time.
A large number of international oil installation contractors flocked to Abu Dhabi, and Emirates' international flight fares soared thirty-fold that day.
As powerful as Halliburton, Jackson called Yao Yuan as soon as he returned to the Kempinski Hotel and said straight to the point, "Mr. Yao, Halliburton is willing to ship a batch of supplies and equipment from Qatar, giving priority to
Oriental Petroleum provides extraction services."
This content should be after the completion of exploration. Halliburton is an important oilfield service provider in Qatar. They will bear certain liability for breach of contract in doing so.
Yao Yuan knew that Jackson had won this, and he was very grateful and said, "Jackson, I am very grateful to you, we are friends. But what Dongfang Petroleum needs to solve most at the moment is crude oil transportation, not extraction. Just now,
The latest output of Dongfang Well No. 1 is out, with a daily output of 14,000 tons. According to data analysis, it may not be the final output."
"That's 74,000 tons per day." Jackson said with emotion, "Yes, what Dongfang Petroleum needs most right now is to solve the transshipment and storage problems."
After thinking for a while, Jackson said, "Mr. Yao, look at this, I will transfer the technical team and equipment from Qatar to help Dongfang Petroleum build oil storage facilities, maybe, maybe build an oil refinery. Mr. Yao, we will build it ourselves."
Money, in Chinese terms, we bring capital into the market."
Halliburton did something like this once upon a time!
If you want them to provide services, you have to queue up to pay in advance!
Yao Yuan immediately laughed, "What conditions?"
Jackson also smiled, "Halliburton hopes to become the only oilfield service provider for the Sedan Oilfield."
"You know this is impossible." Yao Yuan looked at Lin Shuting and turned on the loudspeaker specifically so that Lin Shuting could hear it.
Jackson smiled helplessly and said, "This is the request of the headquarters, and I am opposed to it."
He objected because he knew that Yao Yuan would not agree to such conditions, and Halliburton headquarters still had the intention of taking advantage of others' danger.
Yao Yuan said, "With all the technologies of the fourth-generation offshore drilling platform, including all technologies of dynamic positioning, Halliburton can be the only foreign-funded oilfield service provider in the Sedan Oilfield."
Jackson heard the key word - foreign investment.
Chinese oilfield service companies are not excluded.
Dongfang Petroleum started its business by providing oil field services. There are only three major oil companies in China that can provide oil field services, and Jackson knows that the oil field service capabilities of those three state-owned oil companies are very weak.
The problem is that dynamic positioning technology is Halliburton’s most advanced offshore drilling platform technology. It can be said that with dynamic positioning technology, a fourth-generation offshore drilling platform can be built.
This is beyond his authority to make decisions.
Judging from Dongfang Petroleum’s improvement of Dongfang 1, after the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences obtains all the fourth-generation offshore drilling technology and dynamic positioning technology, it will definitely be able to produce more advanced and reliable products, and it will have the ability to directly develop the fifth-generation offshore drilling technology.
Platform capabilities.
China's offshore drilling platform technology will leapfrog into the world's advanced ranks in just a few years.
"Mr. Yao, I will report to the headquarters immediately. I wonder when I can have an interview with you?" Jackson asked.
Yao Yuan saw Qin Zhenjun walking over and said, "It'll take a few days."
