After the Spring Festival, the price of national crude oil rose to US$25 per barrel, the highest since the Gulf War.
The Sedan Oilfield produces all high-quality light crude oil. The market demand is very large and the price is very strong. Dongfang No. 5 well can produce tens of millions of dollars of oil every day. Dongfang Petroleum's gross profit is as high as four million U.S. dollars. Every day
.
The Sedan Oilfield can contribute more than 50 million U.S. dollars in gross profit every month. Coupled with the completion of the first phase of increasing production in the Baku Oilfield, Dongfang Petroleum has already become the most profitable and most profitable company in the Dongfeng family.
It is also one of the most profitable oil companies in the world.
In order to cope with the coming financial crisis, the Sedan Oilfield released the restrictions on the Dongfang No. 5 well without making it public, and at the same time increased the production of other oil wells, striving to achieve a gross profit of US$2 billion in 1996.
Such a stable source of resources gave Yao Yuan the courage to launch multiple large projects at the same time and to challenge Wall Street private equity funds.
This is not enough, Yao Yuan needs a piece of good news as his trump card, and Kazakhstan's new oil field is one of them.
Before the Lantern Festival passed, Yao Yuan appeared in the Kashagan area.
When everyone saw the big boss wearing the work clothes of Oriental Petroleum and a red and yellow safety helmet, they knew that the big boss was going to the front line to personally direct the exploration.
After two years, Yao Yuan once again stood in a front-line command position.
Xia Honghua came to the field operation area.
The vast land of the Western Region can be seen at a glance. A high-rise drilling rig stands alone. In the safety zone are two rows of board houses. Two flagpoles are erected in front. The taller flagpole hangs the five-star red flag, and the shorter flagpole hangs the five-star red flag.
The eye-catching red and yellow corporate logo flag of Dongfang Petroleum is displayed. Dozens of work vehicles and commuter vehicles are parked on one side of the board house, and further away is a field helicopter landing field.
This is a drilling team.
Xia Honghua didn't see any other drilling rigs and was suddenly confused.
Lin Xiaohu came to pick him up.
Xia Honghua got out of the car, said hello and asked, "Where is Ayuan?"
"In the command room." Lin Xiaohu pointed to the command and control room next to the drilling rig.
Xia Honghua quickly strode over, limping on the rocky ground, and asked, "Where are the other drilling teams?"
"Just this one." Lin Xiaohu said.
Xia Honghua was stunned and paused, "Just a drilling team?"
Lin Xiaohu pointed again and said, "The 7th Drilling Team, our strongest drilling team, is a large-scale drilling team with more than 200 people."
Xia Honghua took a closer look, and sure enough, the flag of the 7th Drilling Team was erected next to the drilling rig, rustling in the wind.
"Why is there only one drilling team? Is there not enough drilling team? You should call me." Xia Honghua said and continued to walk to the command and control room.
Lin Xiaohu smiled and said, "Leader, Ayuan will report to you later."
The human sea tactic is the magic weapon of the Chinese people. In the past explorations of Dongfang Petroleum, it used the human sea tactic to defeat its opponents and successfully found oil. Even when conducting shallow sea exploration in the Sedan Oilfield, seven or eight drilling platforms were dispatched to operate at the same time.
This scale has never been attempted by any oil company.
Why don’t we use it when we get to Kazakhstan?
Xia Honghua's mind was filled with questions.
It was probably because there were not enough drilling teams. He made up his mind to contact Wen Tiejun and ask the oil group to mobilize more than a dozen drilling teams to come over for support.
When I walked into the command and control room, I found that it was very quiet. Everyone was busy doing their own thing. There was a big table in the middle, which was called the command table. Three or four people gathered around there and discussed something in low voices. One of them was covered in mud or something.
Xia Honghua took a closer look, wasn't this Gu Peiqiang, the national model worker the year before last?
Half of the credit for the success of the Dongfang No. 5 Well belongs to Gu Peiqiang. If he had not led the comrades of the 7th Drilling Team to rush forward at the critical moment, the blowout would have completely destroyed the Dongfang No. 5 Well. Any attempt to redevelop it would have been absolutely impossible.
It's not a matter of three to five months.
The longest blowout in the history of human oil production lasted for eighteen months...
That's only 12,000 tons of oil sprayed out every day, but the Dongfang No. 5 Well's self-injection volume reaches 50,000 tons per day! One can imagine the huge energy of the Dongfang No. 5 Well.
Gu Peiqiang is the first employee of Dongfang Petroleum to receive special contribution treatment, with a bonus of 1 million Chinese coins, his children are exempted from taking the exam to work in Dongfang Petroleum, a commercial house of 150 square meters, a BMW off-road vehicle, full medical expenses for immediate family members, and a preferential treatment of 300,000 yuan per year.
The preferential payment will be paid until the death of the recipient...
Xia Honghua was deeply impressed by such a character.
"The leader is here, welcome." Yao Yuan raised his head and said with a smile.
Xia Honghua noticed that Yao Yuan's smile was a little tired, and knew that he had encountered a problem. After greeting the others, he asked, "Only one drilling team has been dispatched. Is there any difficulty? I will help you coordinate with the oil group to mobilize them.
"
"The manpower is sufficient." Yao Yuan shook his head, "The Kazakh government hopes that we can first expand and increase production in the existing oil fields. This request is reasonable and reasonable. I cannot refuse. All other drilling teams will be sent there."
"I will help you coordinate the oil group." Xia Honghua brought a satellite phone with him and was about to make a call.
Yao Yuan declined politely, "No need."
Looking confused, Xia Honghua explained, "The human sea tactic cannot be used all the time. With the current labor costs of Dongfang Petroleum, it is somewhat unaffordable. Sooner or later, we will have to take the path of precision exploration and conduct technical discussions with Western Petroleum Company."
Competition, now is a good time to train troops."
"So that's it." Xia Honghua understood and asked again, "But the time is so tight, can we make it in time?"
Yao Yuan said, "It will be almost done in three to five months."
There is another key reason why he did not say it out loud, and that is confidentiality. If there are too many people, the control of information will be a big problem. Xia Honghua did not notice that there was no outsider in the operation area, they were all Dongfang Petroleum's own people, let alone
A foreigner.
Keeping all information about the new oil field confidential is related to whether it can be an effective weapon in the future. Therefore, Yao Yuan is very cautious.
"Have you encountered a problem?" Xia Honghua asked, looking at Qin Zhenjun, the chief engineer of Dongfang Petroleum.
Qin Zhenjun is an old oil man who switched jobs from Shengli Oilfield to Oriental Oilfield. He was there when Oriental Oilfield Services was first established. He has very powerful skills and rich experience.
If Gu Peiqiang deserves half of the credit for the Dongfang No. 5 Well in the Sedan Oilfield, then the other half of the credit is undoubtedly Qin Zhenjun’s.
It was he who insisted on returning to the starting point and continuing to drill under tremendous pressure. When everyone was opposed and geological research could not support his point of view, at the critical moment when the exploration deadline was approaching, doing so required great courage and courage.
Extremely confident.
With Qin Zhenjun and Gu Peiqiang around, Xia Honghua doesn't think there are any difficulties that Dongfang Petroleum cannot overcome, and finding new oil fields is certain.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhenjun said seriously, "Well, we have encountered a big problem."
