Poverty limits imagination. This sentence can be understood in different ways.
Yao Yuan is already very rich, but compared to the richest people in the world, he is still poor.
This is one of the factors that limits his imagination.
Secondly, he, Qin Zhenjun and a group of technical executives all fell into the "smart people's thinking", that is, they were fixed within a certain range.
This is the possible reason that Lin Wei saw that they could not see.
The cost of laying pipelines and reclamation is undoubtedly higher. To connect offshore oil wells three kilometers away from the land and onshore oil storage facilities, pipelines are used all over the world.
Even if a three-kilometer sea dam is built, the cost will be dozens of times that of the pipeline.
However, after Lin Wei said this plan, Yao Yuan immediately realized that this was the best plan for Dongfang No. 5 Well.
Because the Dongfang No. 5 well has a daily output of 100,000 tons, it is no longer possible to take the same measures as other offshore shallow-water oil fields.
Lin Wei was a little embarrassed by everyone's excited approval and said, "Ayuan, you forgot about the East Coast Island Levee. If constructed in this way, the pipeline can be laid with a larger diameter, and it can also be driven.
We even simply filled in this area, turned the Dongfang No. 5 well into a shore oil well, and built a tanker terminal directly here. In the long run, the cost will be lower."
After a pause, Lin Wei said, "I just don't know if the UAE agrees or not. Their environmental protection standards are the same as those in Europe, which is better. It seems difficult to approve reclamation."
Yao Yuan said with confidence, "It is difficult for ordinary oil fields, but there is no problem for Sedan Oilfield. Look, the UAE will definitely support it fully."
He glanced at the technical executives and said, "Experts, it seems that some reclamation engineering experts have joined the team. Let's start making plans based on this idea right away."
Once you have the direction, it will be easier to handle. Lin Wei gave the technical executives a detailed introduction to the situation of the East Coast Island Sea Barrier.
Yao Yuan and Qin Zhenjun walked to the windshield and looked down at the operation deck, saying, "I want to transform Dongfang 5 into an oil production platform and retain its current exploration function."
"Change it here?" Qin Zhenjun asked.
"Well, let's make changes here to ensure that production continues." Yao Yuan said.
Qin Zhenjun thought for a while and said, "It's feasible. The self-injection period will last for a while, and by then the new oil production platform should be in place."
"I don't want to rent Halliburton's oil production platform anymore. Uncle Qin, can our fourth-generation oil production platform be produced within a year?" Yao Yuan asked.
Qin Zhenjun shook his head and said, "It's basically impossible. At present, we have only mastered some third-generation technologies and do not have the ability to develop fourth-generation platforms."
He is the chief engineer and the president of the Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute, which has an offshore platform research institute under the Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute and has a cooperative relationship with the Ship Design Institute of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences.
"If we get Halliburton's fourth-generation platform technology, can we do it?" Yao Yuan asked.
Qin Zhenjun smiled and said, "That's definitely no problem. First make a copy and then make improvements during the localization process. We are good at this."
"Halliburton has put forward conditions for cooperation. They want to be the only oilfield service provider for the Sedan Oilfield. My condition is that they can be the only foreign investor, but they need to transfer all the technology of the fourth-generation offshore drilling platform to us, including dynamic positioning.
." Yao Yuan said.
Offshore drilling platforms and offshore oil production platforms have a large number of technologies that are common, and the differences in technology are not the most difficult to overcome.
"Are they willing to transfer dynamic positioning technology?" Qin Zhenjun was surprised.
This is the core technology of the fourth-generation platform and involves a large number of patented technologies. In fact, whether it is the Chunfeng Academy of Science or the Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute, it is difficult to completely bypass the technical fortress established by Halliburton if it wants to develop dynamic positioning technology.
Patented technology royalties still have to be paid.
This problem does not exist with an overall transfer.
Moreover, by thoroughly understanding the fourth-generation platform technology, we can directly launch the development of the fifth-generation platform. In the field of offshore drilling platforms, we will suddenly be on par with the world's advanced oilfield equipment manufacturers such as Halliburton.
Halliburton is not only the world's largest oilfield service provider, but also the world's most powerful and largest oilfield equipment manufacturer. They invest more than one billion US dollars in forward-looking technology research every year.
The Ship Design Institute of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences and the Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute are still far behind. It is not easy to keep pace with Halliburton in a single field.
Qin Zhenjun said, "Will Halliburton agree?"
"It should be." Yao Yuan is very confident, "They will not let go of the opportunity to become the sole service provider of the oil field with the largest single well output in the world."
Smiling, he said, "Wetford also sent a formal letter, hoping to meet with me to discuss cooperation."
Qin Zhenjun suddenly laughed, "Wetford is the second largest in the world, so why not bring in the world's third largest oilfield service provider and let the three of them compete."
"Schlumberger and Baker Hughes have all sent official letters. There are dozens of oil service companies alone. Mr. Su said that letters have piled up on his desk." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Qin Zhenjun was basically relieved, "Then you can go back today. I'll keep an eye on you, no problem."
"You come with me and go back to the city to rest for a while." Yao Yuan said.
Qin Zhenjun shook his head and said, "It's the same everywhere, but I feel more at ease on the platform. To make improvements on-site, I have to be there."
"The improvement work is not urgent at this time, and in order to cooperate with the subsequent series of work, all platforms in the oil field must be under closed management and implement strict confidentiality disciplines. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid it will take a month or two.
"Yao Yuan said.
Qin Zhenjun said, "Then I can't leave. Xiao Yao, don't worry, the living conditions on the platform are many times better than when we were developing Shengli Oilfield. Besides, it's only three kilometers away from the base. If I want to rest, I can
Go to the base."
Yao Yuan gave up persuading. Everyone of Lao Qin's generation is a workaholic. Now that he has done such an earth-shattering thing, something that has brought honor to the country and made his name in history, it is even more impossible for him to leave his post.
After talking about the improvement work, Yao Yuan and Lin Wei took the commuter boat back to the base that day. He Shirley and others were waiting eagerly at the base. With Lin Shuting around, He Shirley would never follow Yao Yuan. In this aspect, she
Very well grasped.
Yao Yuan first found the director of the base.
The director of the base is in charge of logistics. He is a big housekeeper. He is a corporate supply chain expert who has studied abroad. He was deeply aware of the status of Chinese people abroad and resolutely returned to China to make his own contribution to the economic strength of the motherland. No one is strong.
With the backing of their motherland, their compatriots who chose to stay abroad at that time will always be inferior. It has to be said that this thirty-year-old supply chain expert named An Huai has such a strong character.
Supply chain management began with Yuanda Electric, which is a very complex enterprise production management system, and Anhuai was the first domestic expert from Shanghai to propose this theory. Yao Yuan spent a lot of effort to invite him to Dongfang Petroleum.
In short, using a supply chain management system can save 80% of the loss cost in the production process and increase production efficiency by three times. These are all free money.
Yuanda Electrical Appliances is able to sell all kinds of electrical appliances at affordable prices, and the supply chain management system plays an important role.
Asked about the current situation, Yao Yuan said, "I may have to blockade the oil field, base, and platform for a period of time, completely isolating it from the outside world. This will last for about 10 to 15 days. How long does it take to prepare?"
An Huai didn't ask any more questions, but thought quickly and said, "It will take three days to prepare. The deployment of various materials, personnel, and ships, well, it will take at least three days."
"Okay, then three days." Yao Yuan explained the matter of converting Dongfang 5 into an oil production platform, and said, "All the equipment and personnel required are transferred from China and transported by air. How do we put these equipment and personnel in place?
You have to think carefully about transporting it to the base within the informed and controllable range."
An Huai asked, "Do you want absolute confidentiality?"
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Absolute confidentiality is impossible. If you do this..."
He said something like this.
An Huai suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Yao, I know what to do."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you to handle the base's logistics. The construction of the cultural square must be accelerated, and our celebration party will be held in the base's cultural square." Yao Yuan said.
An Huai smiled and said, "Mr. Yao, I have a private matter to ask you for advice."
"No problem, what's the matter?" Yao Yuan asked.
An Huai said, "My family was clamoring to come here for a trip. She didn't know what the UAE was like and thought it was so beautiful. I couldn't resist her and agreed, so I thought, could the company help me apply for a short-term visa?"
This is a big deal.
The rear was unstable, and the soldiers on the front line could not rest assured to fight.
Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "The conditions of the base are too bad. It is really not suitable for family members to come here. Director He, please remember and make a plan to organize family members of Sedan Oilfield employees to travel to the United Arab Emirates. No matter they are cadres or employees, they will be treated equally."
, the company is responsible for all expenses, the accommodation standard is five-star, and everything else is based on the best.”
The employees of Dongfang Petroleum Sedan Oilfield Branch have been working abroad for half a year. It would be a lie to say they miss home.
But Yao Yuan's generosity still shocked Anhuai. The Sedan Oilfield Branch has more than a thousand employees, which is a lot of money!
He Xueli quickly wrote it down and asked, "Where are the people hired? They are mainly from the Petroleum Corporation."
"Well, the same thing, but we need to let them know that as long as they work in Dongfang Petroleum, they will have the opportunity to travel abroad at public expense every year in the future." Yao Yuan said.
He Shirley understood and said with a smile, "I know."
The best exploration teams and drilling teams of the Petroleum Corporation are all here. Elites like Gu Peiqiang are basically concentrated in the Sedan Oilfield, with hundreds of people.
The welfare benefits of oil companies are notoriously good. Giants like Shell and ExxonMobil have ridiculously good benefits. Oriental Petroleum owns oil fields with such a huge output and regards travel for employees’ families as a long-term benefit.
Nothing at all.
Besides, Yao Yuan has his own airline, so the biggest expenditure comes back to him.
