super energy power

March.Formosa Plastics executives' second secret visit to the mainland was much more frequent than Sioux City expected.

However, the $70 billion project cannot be negotiated in a short period of time. Historically, the two sides have played games for three years and changed conditions several times, but in the end they did not make their full efforts.Sioux City doesn't have to wait for their negotiations to be completed before starting construction, but it also has to wait until the land is in place and the contract with Formosa Plastics is completed before construction can begin.

The concerns of the central leaders and the concerns of the provincial leaders are completely different.As far as Sioux City knows, Formosa Plastics can even choose from the same land of one million mu: Guangdong, "Donghui" Prefecture, Xiamen, "Menhai" Cang, or Meizhou Bay.

If you were an old landlord, you would be able to live comfortably even if you were farming on millions of acres of land, not to mention building a factory with a hundred times the productivity.

This level of scale of Formosa Plastics has been accumulated for more than 30 years.If Dahua Industrial is an experimental field, then Formosa Plastics is a familiar field.

Su Cheng was not in a hurry.The Abu Dhabi natural gas he needs to underwrite is calculated on a yearly basis, and there is still a period of time before the underwriting starts. If Formosa Plastics can consume 0 tons more, he only has 600 million tons to consider. The pressure has weakened. few.

On the other hand, Su Cheng didn't have much time to think about it, so he stayed in Chengdao Oilfield on the second day after returning to Dongying.

The 4500-meter extended-reach well that has been put into operation is booming, and it looks inconspicuous at all. If you look at the appearance, you can't imagine that the well goes all the way into the sea for several kilometers.

Everyone in the research institute was laughing, full of complacency.

Gu Haijian lifted his chin slightly, and said, "Director Su, although the 4500-meter extended-reach well is only half of the world's longest well, it is also the first in Shengli Oilfield, and this is only our first batch of extended-reach wells. One well is 4500 meters long and the other is 3100 meters long. The second batch will be completed soon, and the longest one will be 500 meters long."

"How much crude oil can be recovered?"

"Within a radius of 5 kilometers, it is estimated that there will be 0 to 500 million tons." Gu Haijian smiled and said, "Secretary Tao is very happy and said that as long as we can produce 100 million tons of oil this year, he will give us a bonus."

They are all technicians belonging to Dahua Laboratory. The salary is paid by Sucheng. What Secretary Tao can do is to pay bonuses.

Su Cheng laughed and said, "Can it be done with 100 million tons?"

"The 3100-meter well is a thousand-ton well, and the 4500-meter No. 2 well can barely reach a thousand tons. If the second batch of wells doesn't have a 3000-ton ultra-high-yield well, I guess I won't be able to get a bonus." Gu Haijian also said that smiling.

His deputy, Sui Yuanqing, is not very familiar with Sioux City, and further introduced: "The first year of an oil well is the peak period, and it usually takes three to five years to achieve stable and high production, and it takes seven years at most. Chengdao Oilfield is still under exploration. Among them, 7 million tons is not easy to achieve."

Su Cheng nodded and asked, "Where's the drilling platform? Is it normal?"

Gu Haijian replied: "The next step is to conduct a field test. To be honest, everyone is a little nervous."

"As long as the level of the extended-reach well can be maintained, I don't see any problem." Su Cheng encouraged with a smile: "From October to March, five months and 10 days, from technology to construction, the extended-reach well of 3 meters was completed. Wells are not only rare in China, but also rare in the world. The bottom-mounted offshore drilling platform is only the second step for us. Next, we will build a jack-up offshore drilling platform. Everyone will work hard. If the sea trial is successful ·We also distribute bonuses, which do not conflict with Secretary Tao’s.”

Everyone laughed.

After the crowd dispersed, Su Cheng looked at the offshore drilling platform in the distance and took a deep breath.

Compared with the offshore drilling platform he saw in the textbooks of later generations, this platform is much simpler.The platform is only 35 meters long, 22 meters wide, and the upper deck is 12 meters high.On the sea, if there is a big wind and waves, you may not even be able to see clearly.

Such a platform can only be used in shallow seas, preferably in smooth seas such as bays.

Gu Haijian followed his gaze and said softly: "It's just such a bottom-mounted offshore drilling platform. Our localization rate is less than 50%. Halliburton has helped a little. The main parts are imported parts. "

Su Cheng nodded slightly, there was no other way.Even after 30 years, offshore drilling platforms are still in the domain of foreigners, and Dahua Industrial has taken a big step forward due to the stimulation of Chengdao Oilfield.If we take the shortcut of offshore oil and land mining, it will still be a waste of 10 years in the end.

Gu Haijian said embarrassedly: "Their technology is much more advanced than ours, that's why the price is so high.Moreover, their drilling platforms are basically electronic, and we really can't match them.Our foundation is still the follow-up research done by the country in the 70s. Ten years have passed, and the concept has made some progress, but the materials and equipment are hard to say. "

"As long as it can be used, don't worry about localization. We use Halliburton's parts, which are cheaper than buying them directly. We will gradually improve them in the future." Su Cheng pointed and said: "This kind of platform can be expanded. ?"

"We plan to expand the length and width to 50 meters and 35 meters. In this case, the weight of the empty ship will be more than 00 tons, and there will be no problem in exploiting the oil fields in Abu Dhabi." Gu Haijian also knew the goal of Sioux City, paused, and asked: "I heard that there will be leaders from the head office visiting the sea trial the day after tomorrow?"

"Secretary Lin invited a few familiar department-level leaders, so don't worry." The technology of the drilling platform belongs to Sioux City, but it will be used by the Petroleum Corporation for free. Therefore, it is normal for Lin Yonggui to invite people from the headquarters to visit the sea trial. etiquette.

Due to the relationship with the Abu Dhabi oil field, the relationship between Dahua Industrial and the three major oil companies is a bit stiff.However, this is just the opinion of individual leaders.Sioux City knows in his heart that as long as Abu Dhabi produces oil, or the offshore drilling technology of Dahua Laboratory explodes satellites, or the cooperation of Formosa Plastics succeeds, individual leaders will become minority leaders...

You have to be strong yourself to strike the iron. Judging from the experience of future generations, Sioux City does not put domestic competition first.Maintaining a stable growth rate is the highest priority.

Gu Haijian was different. I heard that not only the leaders of the head office, but also Secretary Lin of Shengli Oilfield would come, and he said without worrying about gain or loss, "Will people laugh at our crude drilling platform?"

"As long as it can be used, there is nothing to be afraid of being ugly." Su Cheng glanced at him, and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of being ugly, you can paint your appearance as a whale or a shark, so you can cover up your ugliness."

Su Cheng was just talking about it, but Gu Haijian paid attention to it.When he was working in Petrobras, he was influenced by bureaucracy, such as using green paint to camouflage the lawn, and changing the Mercedes-Benz logo for Audi. Brazilians are also extremely skilled, not Chinese. man's patent.

The more Gu Haijian thought about sending Sioux City away, the more he felt that it was right. He found an outdoor advertising company overnight and worked with them to paint the offshore drilling platform to look like a dolphin.

In an outdoor advertising company in 89, I was familiar with drawing a beautiful woman, but my understanding of dolphins was pure blue.

Moreover, Gu Haijian is a young man with a strong urge to do things. He and a few young researchers went into battle to help out, pouring over a dozen buckets of cheap blue paint, and adding a little decoration...

In the end, the 12-meter-high offshore drilling platform failed to turn into a dolphin as expected, but instead looked like a pregnant crocodile with a few arrows stuck on its body.

When the overall image came out, Gu Haijian also realized his mistake.However, the commuter boat arrived before he could modify it.

The sea in March is still relatively calm.

When the boat passes the bay, you can see the drilling platform exposed to the sea level.

Su Cheng was standing next to Lin Yonggui, and was about to introduce, when he was stunned.

Lin Yonggui looked at the butt of the pregnant crocodile, stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "What's going on?"

"It's probably some kind of celebration ceremony." Su Cheng said helplessly.

"It's like learning from foreigners." The leader from the head office laughed twice, and said, "It just looks a little weird, and the color is a little weird. Is that blue?"

The further the boat travels, the more the shape of the platform is exposed.Jensen from Halliburton finally laughed and shouted in English: "This is a butt, I didn't expect it. After painting it, it looks very vivid."

Su Cheng had to cough hard to prevent the translator from being too conscientious.But there were quite a few people present who could understand English, and the commuter boat soon burst into laughter.

After boarding the drilling platform and seeing Gu Haijian, someone quickly changed the name with the accent and pronounced it "Gu Haijian".

After Gu Haijian understood it, he was dumbfounded.

Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "After a while, everyone will forget about it."

"What if you can't forget it?" Gu Haijian had a sad face.

Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder, sighed lightly, and said, "Let's introduce the platform first..."

Gu Haijian's face was full of sadness and broken eggs.

After a while, Jason returned to Su Cheng, leaned on the railing, looked at the blue waves in front of him, and said with a smile: "Su Dong, I heard that you are going to build a bigger offshore drilling platform?"

"That's right." Su Cheng nodded, looking at the person next to him.

Seeing that he noticed it, Jason immediately said: "I will introduce a friend, who is also our long-term partner of Halliburton, Mr. Simon from Feynor Shipping. Feynor Shipping is a solution provider for offshore drilling platforms. , They do not produce by themselves, but they have advanced technology and passed the certification of Lloyd's Register very early. I think that since Dahua Industrial wants to manufacture by itself, they should be interested in this kind of cooperation."

Simon has a strong figure, extremely fair skin, and feels a little sick. He said steadily in English: "We Feynor Ship Industry is one of the first companies to enter the offshore drilling platform. We can provide a complete solution. We can only focus on technology and construction. Contracting, turnkey projects are no problem. The price is very reasonable.”

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "How reasonable?"

"In Abu Dhabi's oil fields, as long as the drilling platform is less than 50 feet, small platforms, full technical services, 600 million US dollars." This is not the first time Simon has quoted. As a technology company, they have even referred to Abu Dhabi than the environment.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "This price is several times higher than our finished products."

"The technology is definitely several times stronger." Simon raised his head proudly.

Su Cheng's smile suddenly faded.
