Since we are here for inspection, we will not sit in the conference room for a meeting.
The next day, Liu Zhiyuan summoned the business inspection team to the conference room to arrange the inspection content. In addition to the fact that their petrochemical company wanted to inspect the oil fields in Kazakhstan, people in other departments had their own inspection tasks, so they had to collect everyone’s information.
The situation will then be reported to the person in charge of reception in Kazakhstan, who will make allocation arrangements.
Chen Hai was going to Kazakhstan's aviation management department to talk to them about opening routes, which involved many technical standards and national defense security. The embassy in Kazakhstan sent a military attaché and a second secretary to join him. The military attache was required to assess the security situation at any time.
, the second secretary acts as translator.
Yao Yuan had no right to speak, so Liu Zhiyuan finally asked him to be his translator. This was what Yao Yuan wanted, because it was a good opportunity to find out about Petrochemical Corporation's participation in the development of Kazakhstan's oil and gas resources.
He raised his hands to support Petrochemical Corporation in defeating other countries to obtain concession rights for Kazakhstan’s oil and gas resources, but the prerequisite was that Dongfeng Group must be one of the participants.
He couldn't hand over everything to Petrochemical Corporation. That was what a saint should do.
However, Yao Yuan is pessimistic about the Petrochemical Corporation's acquisition of franchise rights. State-owned enterprises have too many restrictions and cannot provide sufficiently attractive conditions. You must know that Nazarev wants more than just
Workers and supplies to build the new capital.
What does Kazakhstan have? What do we depend on for food?
They only have oil and gas resources, and that's the only one. Unlike Russia, in addition to oil and gas, they also have a large amount of natural mineral resources to sell, and they can't sell them all in a hundred years.
Nazaryev does not open the bidding, which shows that he has big plans.
If you continue to work as a translator in the business delegation without revealing your identity, you should have the opportunity to get access to the latest information, and even have the opportunity to know what Dai Lao and Nazaryev talked about.
"Xiao Yao, just follow me and be my translator for a few days." Liu Zhiyuan came over, pointed at Yao Yuan and said.
Of course, the Petrochemical Corporation can find people who can speak Russian. Liu Zhiyuan originally brought a translator, but Yao Yuan is a talent specially transferred from the grassroots level by the Economic and Trade Commission, and it is difficult for Liu Zhiyuan to leave Yao Yuan alone.
Yao Yuan smiled and agreed, feeling at ease.
The deputy minister of Kazakhstan's Ministry of Petroleum accompanied Liu Zhiyuan during the inspection. This team of inspectors was also the highest-level and largest. They took several cars to the airport. On this trip, they headed to Atyrau Oblast, the Caspian Sea coast area in western Kazakhstan.
There is the Maksha Oilfield, Kazakhstan’s largest oil field currently producing.
Atyrau Oblast is 1,200 kilometers away from Almaty. We took an An-12 medium-sized transport plane there, then changed to a UAZ jeep at the airport and headed to the Maksha Oil Field dozens of kilometers away. It was already noon when we arrived.
There are currently only a few oil fields that have been discovered and developed in Kazakhstan. The Maksha Oilfield is the largest among them, with an annual output of over 5 million tons. It is also Kazakhstan’s main source of foreign exchange.
In Liu Zhiyuan's eyes, this oil field is not small, but in the eyes of major international oil companies, this output is not worth mentioning, and it does not attract Yao Yuan's interest.
The annual output of a single well of Dongfang No. 5 well in Sedan Oilfield is 50 million tons!
Oil giants are flocking to Kazakhstan's oil and gas resources because the country has abundant oil and gas resources and backward mining technology capabilities. To put it bluntly, Kazakhstan has neither the funds for large-scale development nor the relevant technical capabilities.
The production capacity of the Maksha Oilfield is definitely more than this number.
The purpose of Liu Zhiyuan's inspection was to understand the situation on the spot, assess the potential of the Maksha Oilfield, how much investment is needed, and what technology should be used to increase production, so as to obtain detailed first-hand data to provide a basis for the leadership decisions above.
Fortunately, this inspection was specially arranged for the Chinese inspection team. If he was mixed with other oil companies, Yao Yuan would definitely be recognized. Although his face has never appeared in the public or the media, the faces of those oil giants
The president and vice presidents all know him.
Along the way, Yao Yuan followed Liu Zhiyuan, adhering to the principle of watching more, listening more and talking less. Kazakhstan was more sincere and provided a lot of information about oil field reserves and geology. This is rare information. As one of the important neighboring countries,
, even though China is still very poor, it still has a considerable status in Nazarev's heart.
It can be seen from the fact that he cordially received Mr. Dai and personally accompanied Mr. Dai to visit and inspect. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a means for him to put pressure on Western Petroleum Company - you have to increase the price, otherwise it will be sold to China!
Liu Zhiyuan's translation level is very high, and he is from the petroleum system. His understanding of the technical information is very good. There is no need for an outsider like Yao Yuan to intervene in the whole process.
Yao Yuan was happy to have more time to study those geological materials. Reserves and other information were also analyzed based on geological reports, and geological materials were the most basic.
He only remembered the starting point and end point of the Hua-Haha Oil Pipeline in the previous generation, and did not know anything else. The first-hand geological materials provided by Kazakhstan were undoubtedly very important.
As for the production capacity of the Maksha Oilfield, it is all equipment and technology from the 1960s during the Soviet period, so it’s okay not to look at it.
Kazakhstan provided a large conference room for the Chinese inspectors to review the materials and sent several engineers to introduce them.
Liu Zhiyuan sat there with his arms folded and listened to the translator's narration. If the translator didn't understand something, he would ask the Kazakh engineer next to him, while his secretary was taking notes.
After listening for a long time, Liu Zhiyuan saw Yao Yuanye and the engineers from the Petrochemical Corporation sitting there looking at the materials in his peripheral vision, and felt strange at the moment.
After listening for a while, Liu Zhiyuan motioned to the translator and secretary to continue understanding the situation. He then stood up and walked behind Yao Yuan, finding that Yao Yuan was looking attentively.
"Xiao Yao, what material are you looking at?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.
Yao Yuan turned around suddenly and said with a smile, "Oh, the geological materials of Atyrau Region."
During the Soviet period, several large-scale geological explorations were carried out in all the member countries, leaving a large amount of geological materials. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, these geological materials were not only available in the archives in Moscow, but each member country also had a copy of its own geological information.
Exploration materials for geological conditions.
The material Yao Yuan is looking at now comes from this.
In fact, until 2022, these geological exploration materials will be in play, because it has been difficult for former Soviet Union countries, including Russia, to organize large-scale geological exploration activities, and targeted exploration activities have also been established.
Based on materials from the Soviet period.
Liu Zhiyuan asked, "Do you understand?"
"Mr. Liu, you know I understand Russian." Yao Yuan pretended to be stupid.
Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand, pointed at the materials and said, "These are very professional exploration reports. Do you understand them?"
"Oh, take your time and read it. Anyway, you have nothing to do. You should just improve your Russian reading comprehension level." Yao Yuan said with a smile.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Well, take your time and take a look."
In his opinion, these geological exploration materials are not confidential information, but he does not know that Kazakhstan will not provide these geological exploration materials to foreign oil companies now, because the Chinese business delegation is following Dai
For those who are old, the superiors take it seriously, so they make an exception in this regard, and they are exposed to these materials.
The same is true for Yao Yuan. It is impossible for Dongfang Petroleum to obtain these geological exploration materials through official channels. The same is true for other Western oil companies.
Now that he had the opportunity to come into contact with these materials, Yao Yuan wished he had special powers and could transport all the information inside to his brain for storage.
Fortunately, I haven't fallen behind on my homework in the past few years, and my reading speed is not too slow.
Looking up at the materials piled on the table, Yao Yuan didn't want to waste a second and looked through them carefully again.
If Liu Zhiyuan knew that he was luring a wolf into the house, I don't know how he would feel.
The serious attitude of the engineers from the Petrochemical Corporation surprised the Kazakh staff. Several retirees who had gone abroad for welfare benefits and the family members of the leaders also gave up their thoughts of having fun and buried their heads to help. The whole thing was serious
A posture that thoroughly understands geological materials.
On the third day, Kazakhstan's Deputy Minister of Petroleum couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't stay here all the time, so he asked for instructions, discussed it with Liu Zhiyuan, and decided to leave an assistant in charge, and he returned to Ala.
wooden plan.
Of course, Liu Zhiyuan has no dissatisfaction. All relevant materials for the Maksha Oilfield in Kazakhstan can be seen at one time. This is the front line of the field. It is best to complete the main part of the inspection work here to avoid running around.
There was a total of fifteen days of inspection time, so he was not in a hurry.
Yao Yuan was even less anxious. He wished he could stay in the Maxhay Oilfield as long as possible, so that he would have more time to record the geological information.
Everyone else was busy doing their own thing, and no one paid attention to Yao Yuan. No one could have imagined that this young man could not only understand unfamiliar geological materials, but also have the ability to make quite accurate analyses. No one could have imagined that this young man was the big boss behind Dongfang Petroleum.
Now it is one of the competitors of Petrochemical Corporation.
Isn’t this inviting a wolf into the house?
Yao Yuan doesn't care what Liu Zhiyuan thinks. All he has to do is seize the time to catch up with the progress of the Petrochemical Corporation. The Petrochemical Corporation can use the power of the state to obtain these geological materials for analysis in advance, but Dongfang Petroleum cannot.
In terms of progress, Petrochemical Corporation is also ahead of the curve.
Yao Yuan is not worried about competing for financial strength. The US dollars he can use will not be much less than the national foreign exchange reserves. He is afraid of this method of competing for the background of the national government.
This is the difficulty of private capital. There is no backer, only a last-ditch fight.
On the fifth day, the engineers of Petrochemical Corporation had to stop even if they had not finished reading the materials, because Mr. Dai was going back to China tomorrow. Before returning to China, he had to convene a meeting with the business inspection team. Each department must come up with a
The results will come, otherwise Mr. Dai will not know how to report when he returns to China.
It was also in the last ten minutes of this day that Harbin was about to take back the materials. Yao Yuan finally saw the familiar name - Kashagan.
