After the Sedan Oilfield's production, oil products and other details were announced, it immediately became popular.
According to international standards, the quality of the crude oil produced by the Sedan Oilfield is the best in the world, which is one of the main factors attracting many customers.
The Haicang plan is gone, but Formosa Plastics Group still has the Sixth Lighting Project on the island, which needs a stable source of crude oil to ensure the production of the Sixth Lighting Base.
Yao Yuan said, "We are compatriots. Dongfang Petroleum will definitely support Formosa Plastics Group. We are all one family, what do you think, Mr. Wang?"
"Yes, yes, we are a family. Treasure Island is an integral part of China. We at Formosa Plastics Group have never doubted this." Wang Xiang expressed his position without hesitation.
Don't do business if you are not politically correct, although they may say otherwise when facing the island's leaders.
Yao Yuandao, "There is no problem with the long-term contract, but the production capacity of Sedan Oilfield is limited. How much does Formosa Plastics Group want and at what price?"
"How about five million tons per year and a CIF price of US$18 per barrel?" Wang Xiang said straight to the point.
Yao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Just now, South Korea's Hyundai Petroleum won a five-year contract, the FOB price is 23.2 US dollars per barrel, 50 million tons."
"What!" Wang Xiang was shocked by Modern Petroleum's generosity.
This is a deal worth over eight billion US dollars!
"You also know that Sedan Oilfield must prioritize the production of our own petrochemical base. The remaining output is not much, and the price you proposed is not attractive." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Wang Xiang's face was very embarrassed, "The price of 23.2 US dollars is too high, Mr. Yao, the overall trend of crude oil prices is downward..."
So how to explain the premium purchasing of modern oil?
After so many years of ups and downs in the business world, Wang Xiang found it difficult to deal with such a simple issue.
Yao Yuan would not relent on the price. He waved his hand and said, "Formosa Plastics Group can also get a five-year contract. The price is consistent with Hyundai Petroleum, one million tons per year."
"The price is too high..." Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I can only do this one step. Mr. Wang, please think about it first."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
Wang Xiang had no choice but to stand up and said, "Mr. Yao, I will report to the chairman first. If possible, I would like to treat you to a meal."
"Besides, you also know that I'm very busy these days." Yao Yuan said.
Wang Xiang had no choice but to leave.
The quality of crude oil in the Sedan Oilfield is higher than that in the Baku Oilfield, and it is a sought-after raw material for petrochemical companies. Simply put, the same amount of crude oil can produce better quality refined oil if the oil produced in the Sedan Oilfield is used
, or even a higher proportion.
Naturally the price is expensive.
The annual output of Sedan Oilfield has almost been consumed, because 20 million tons per year must be reserved for domestic supply. Before Xia Honghua and Wen Tiejun returned to China, at the strong request of Yao Yuan, the ministries, commissions, Petroleum Corporation, and Southern Industry reached a tripartite agreement
protocol.
The construction of oil storage facilities in coastal areas will be constructed by Southern Industrial and Petroleum Corporation respectively as an important part of the national strategic oil reserve system.
This is not only a need for national energy security, but also one of Dongfang Petroleum's specific measures to cope with future changes in crude oil prices.
The oil storage facilities belong to Nanfang Industrial, and after the construction is completed, they can be leased to Dongfang Petroleum for use, or they can simply be used as the owner. For Yao Yuan, it is nothing more than a matter of left hand and right hand.
This was also done out of the consideration of controlling the scale of Dongfang Petroleum. The commissioning of the Sedan Oilfield has allowed Dongfang Petroleum to secure the top spot among Dongfeng Group companies, and the former cash Wang Yuanda Group has been ranked second.
Oriental Petroleum's main assets are basically overseas, so it needs to purposefully control its scale and transfer back all the assets that can be transferred back to China.
Yao Yuan, who has lived two lifetimes, has a profound understanding of the truth that eggs cannot be put in one basket. This is why he dispersed the billions of dollars he earned from manipulating crude oil prices in several places.
Cornell of France's Total Company finally met Yao Yuan. This was the last guest Yao Yuan met today, and all others were cancelled.
Since the French company Total agreed to participate in the development of the Baku oil field, the company's future development center has gradually shifted to the Middle East and the Caspian Sea region.
Land oil in the world is being developed less and less, and the move to deep sea is inevitable. However, due to the low oil price policy, oil companies are not active in developing deep sea oil fields. Taking BP's offshore oil fields in the North Sea as an example, the cost of extraction per barrel has already been
If it exceeds US$12, the profits in the hands of oil companies are already very meager.
But it cannot be ignored. There is a problem of mineable reserves.
Now, after the Baku Oilfield, the Sedan Oilfield has emerged. A super-large oilfield is right in front of us, and the major oil companies cannot help but be tempted.
The Sedan Oilfield was taken over by Oriental Petroleum and achieved world-renowned success. Naturally, Total did not dare to hope to compete for it, and they no longer had the ability.
However, it is possible to work for Oriental Petroleum.
Cornell knows that Total's advantage is its unique experience in oil and gas refining, especially natural gas production, and this is precisely the disadvantage of Oriental Petroleum. It is for this reason that Total was allowed to participate in the development
Opportunities in Baku oil fields.
They are the only Western oil company able to participate in the development of the Baku oil fields.
After Cornell stated his idea in a matter-of-fact manner, he took the initiative and said, "Mr. Yao, if we can develop the natural gas from the Sedan Oilfield together with Dongfang Petroleum, it will allow the natural gas from the Sedan Oilfield to quickly enter the European market. You know, Europe
It is the largest natural gas market.”
Natural gas was not popular in the 1990s. Due to resource constraints, Europe began to use natural gas as a living energy source a long time ago. At the same time, Europe has higher environmental standards, so almost pollution-free natural gas has become the best choice.
In the European natural gas market, Total is the main player, which also makes their natural gas technology ahead of other oil companies.
This is the main reason why Yao Yuan chose them to cooperate in the development of the Baku oil field, and they are also a strategic partner in the development of natural gas resources in Central Asia.
But Yao Yuan didn't want them to enter the Sedan Oilfield.
Yao Yuan said, "Mr. Cornell, our two are strategic partners, and I will tell you the truth. There are no plans to develop natural gas in the Sedan Oilfield for the time being, and the current focus of work is on oil development. However, Dongfang Petroleum has reached an agreement with Turkmenistan
Stan signed a letter of intent to develop oil and gas resources, and we can cooperate in this aspect."
Cornell hurriedly asked, "Has Oriental Petroleum obtained the concession rights in Turkmenistan?"
As we all know, the competition between Dongfang Petroleum and Nippon Chemical in Turkmenistan has been eliminated. Dongfang Petroleum, which had been eliminated, turned defeat into victory due to the changes in the internal political situation in Turkmenistan. Nippon Chemical's capital chain collapsed under the huge debt pressure, and has now withdrawn to Japan.
If it's still hanging on, it's either going to be merged or go bankrupt and liquidated.
People in the industry were surprised by Dongfang Petroleum's luck and did not know that this was a big hole dug by Yao Yuan for Xinri Chemical.
However, there is still no news about who will acquire the oil concession rights in Turkmenistan. Due to political factors, Turkmenistan is wary of Western oil companies, so they have few choices. The success of Oriental Petroleum in Azerbaijan has given
They are an example to learn from.
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Turkmenistan is going to establish a national oil company and learn from Azerbaijan's experience. Dongfang Petroleum is the only partner. This is certain. You also know that our oil pipeline construction has started, and we will also build gas pipelines in the future.
pipeline."
"Mr. Yao, on behalf of Total, I am willing to fully support Dongfang Petroleum's business expansion in Central Asia. We are strategic partners." Cornell said decisively, whether it is the Sedan Oilfield or the oil and gas resources of Turkmenistan
, both contain huge benefits, and it doesn’t matter which aspect we cooperate in.
Judging from Yao Yuan's statement just now, there is a high probability that Dongfang Petroleum will not let any oil company participate in the development of the Sedan Oilfield. Dongfang Petroleum will completely rely on itself to operate the Sedan Oilfield.
Presumably, if it were Total, they wouldn't do that.
After sending Cornell away, Yao Yuan drove to the airport to meet the workers from China - the workers responsible for the reclamation project, all of whom were airlifted by New United Airlines and New Beihang Airlines.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Wei, the interim general manager of the two airlines, negotiated with the United Arab Emirates on the opening of routes. Beijing-Dubai, Beijing-Abu Dhabi, Guangdong-Abu Dhabi, Guangdong-Dubai, Shanghai-
Dubai, Shanghai-Abu Dhabi, the three major cities in China have regular flights to and from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Among them, the flight from Guangdong City is once a day and is operated by New United Airlines.
Yao Yuan's base camp is in Guangdong Province, and these flights basically serve the Oriental Petroleum Sedan Oilfield. The economic driving effect of a super oil field has begun to slowly appear.
In his last life, the central enterprise where Yao Yuan worked had a big project somewhere in the south. Because of this big project, flights to Beijing were opened from somewhere in the south. Almost all the passengers coming and going were related to that big project, and that somewhere in the south,
It's just a fifth-tier city.
The Sedan Oilfield is much bigger than that big project.
In order to save time, Dongfang Petroleum assigned the reclamation project to the contractors participating in the Baojun Automobile Production Base and the East Coast Industrial Island project, forming a consortium to take overall responsibility for the reclamation project. That is, the large-scale domestic construction engineering enterprises
Mainly, private engineering companies are supplementary.
The required materials are shipped via COSCO Shipping’s cargo ships.
However, because there are no professional engineering ships in China, Dongfang Petroleum can only lease foreign ones and leave highly professional projects to foreign companies. There is no other way.
Although the Dongfang No. 5 Well is only three kilometers away from the coastline, the deepest water depth reaches 1,300 meters. Therefore, it is a huge reclamation project and it is very surprising to be approved by the UAE.
According to the plan, a dike will be filled in along the shallow water area, about five kilometers long, to ensure the production of the Dongfang No. 5 well, and then slowly complete the filling of the rest of the area, eventually forming an artificial peninsula protruding from the Sedan Sea.
It will take three years to complete the reclamation project.
Dozens of passenger buses gathered at the arrival gate of Abu Dhabi Airport, forming a long queue. These buses were hired by Oriental Petroleum to pick up workers from China.
The first batch of workers came with Fang Yaozu from the Guangdong Provincial Construction Engineering Corporation. The infrastructure construction of the Baojun Automobile production base has come to an end, and major construction engineering companies have begun to withdraw people. The remaining work is basically for Southern Industrial
Own, interior decoration, installation of equipment, etc.
Yao Yuan launched a satellite in the United Arab Emirates that attracted the attention of the whole world. The leaders of Guangdong Province issued a fatal order to mobilize the entire province to support the construction of the Sedan Oilfield and give them whatever they asked for. Yao Yuan proposed the idea of recruiting a large number of idle rural laborers, which was criticized.
All will be accepted and sent to Abu Dhabi after training.
This is the most direct way to improve the living standards of rural people.
When Fang Yaozu saw Yao Yuan coming to pick him up in person, he immediately trotted over and clasped Yao Yuan's right hand with both hands as if meeting in victory, "Mr. Yao! I didn't expect you to come to pick him up in person! When the main leaders of the province asked me to see you, I must represent the province.
The government solemnly stated that Guangdong Province is your hometown and will definitely mobilize the whole province to support the construction of Sedan Oilfield. If you need people or materials, just ask. These are the exact words of the main leaders of the province."
"Thank you for your support from the leaders in my hometown, Mr. Fang, it's been a hard journey." Yao Yuan stood at the entrance of the gangway and shook hands with every worker who got off the plane one by one.
Workers who may have never flown in their lives, many of whom were farmers a month ago, have now become workers who go abroad to work and bring glory to the country. They are both worried and proud.
When they saw the big boss personally coming to pick them up, the foreigners running back and forth busy, and the beautiful foreign women and handsome foreign men nodding and bowing, their anxiety disappeared. It turns out that foreigners are not superior to Chinese people!
This was specially arranged by Yao Yuan. The purpose was to allow the workers to find their own positions, instead of lowering their heads when seeing foreigners like some "shepherd dogs" in China who regard foreigners as gods.
He just wants everyone to realize that we are here to create wealth for them and deserve super-national treatment.
Starting from today's airport pick-up, Yao Yuan has already been implementing his plan - Chinese people should also enjoy super-national treatment abroad!
Why can foreigners and foreign companies enjoy super-national treatment in China, but Chinese people and Chinese companies cannot be treated equally abroad?
Yes, the Chinese people didn’t have that ability before, but now they have it!
Oil exploration is like a blind man touching an elephant, and submarine oil exploration is even worse. Can another company build an oil well with a daily production of 100,000 tons?
This is a question worthy of serious consideration by oil companies around the world. Now this great miracle has been born in the hands of Dongfang Petroleum. This is a manifestation of absolute strength.
Absolute strength brings absolute strength and status.
Dongfang Petroleum must start from its position of strength and talk to Westerners and Western Petroleum Corporation...
