Replacing original parts with cheaper components is a great way to keep costs down.Civilian products and industrial products are no exception.

The difference is that civilian products are easy to maintain and the working environment is relatively balanced.Industrial products are different. For example, offshore drilling platforms work in the North Sea when they are leased to the North Sea, and work in Australia when they are rented in Australia. Different environments are accompanied by similar strong winds, waves and alkaline sea water. If the quality is not up to standard, it will not only cause losses. , and will lead to lawsuits.

Nasr knew that it was really not easy to repair a semi-disabled drilling platform with US$300 million. He also asked other companies, but failed.However, it is still somewhat difficult for Arabs who admire European and famous brands to use all Chinese parts.

We are not short of money!

Nasr's favorite thing to do is to use a wad of money to smash European suppliers into a mother.

The only problem he has encountered so far is that the budget is not enough.

When he was short of money, all of Nasr's usual tricks were useless.At this time, he asked with some embarrassment: "It's okay to use replacement parts, but can you increase the scope of procurement? Compare more countries, for example, use 1 parts made in China, and 90% parts made in Europe... "

"It's okay to use some parts made in Europe, but if you're lazy, 300 million won't be enough." Su Cheng chuckled.

Nasr wanted to say "add money", which is also their most common method.But... the bureaucrats in the company will not give him such an opportunity. The maintenance fund is at most 300 million. This has been settled a long time ago. They don't care whether this "Sea Diamond [-]" is particularly bad or very good. When you make money, you will naturally encounter troubles.

For Nasr, this is the time for trouble.

He looked at Chai Wei, then at Sioux City, and finally said: "If a large number of Chinese parts are used, we may not easily agree to this maintenance. You can do an evaluation first, and try to use European-made parts."

"Of course." Su Cheng didn't object to the evaluation, and turned to Gu Haijian and said, "You go to a third-party professional inspection company to conduct a comprehensive evaluation."

In fact, even if he wants to use 100% Chinese parts, it is impossible. For example, it is difficult to say whether things such as diesel engine crankshafts can be replaced.Even Dahua Industrial's drilling rig still has [-] to [-] percent foreign imported components.Therefore, the so-called use of Chinese parts in Sioux City is to use [-] to [-]%...

But this kind of thinking cannot be stated in words. On the one hand, there is room for it, and on the other hand, it is also said to avoid increasing the other party's sense of distrust.

The same Saudi oil group uses the best products from the best companies in the world, and pays the most.If you let them know that Dahua Industrial has only passed half of the parts it can produce, it will be difficult to negotiate later.

Gu Haijian quickly invited an inspection company from the United Arab Emirates and asked them to bring equipment to Saudi Arabia for inspection.Comprehensive inspection requires a lot of work and requires a lot of equipment. In the petroleum equipment industry, it has also become a special business. Professionals operate professional machines in a professional way.Except for the super large oil companies, the general oil companies outsource this business.

Third-party companies do the inspection, and the conclusions will be relatively fair.

The entire testing work took 10 days.The scope of inspection includes drilling system equipment x mud system equipment, well control equipment x subsea equipment x power system equipment x electrical equipment x platform ballast control system, ballast pump room x piping system platform mooring system x deck machinery x fire safety Facilities, communication system x platform structure and equipment maintenance records and spare parts storage, etc., and finally issue a report.

On the second day of the inspection, the China International Petroleum Exhibition in Abu Dhabi also came to an end.

Seeing the smiles of Secretary-General Gan and Ding Zhipeng, Sioux City knew that the goal of the meeting was basically achieved.Dahua Industrial has received more than one million US dollars of orders, which can be regarded as a full reward.

More than 20 engineers, half of them continued to return to China to do their research and the rest went to Saudi Arabia to visit the third-generation semi-submersible drilling platform.

The platform that Dahua Industry and Halliburton are currently making is the second and a half generations, and the third generation is still on the design drawings.Now there are ready-made third-generation drilling platforms that can be disassembled, which is a great thing for researchers.

Soon, the engineer, together with the people from the testing company, buried their heads in the drilling platform.

A semi-submersible drilling platform is a drilling platform with most of its floating body below the water surface. It has a high technical content. The sixth-generation offshore drilling platform produced by CNOOC and CSSC in the next year is a semi-submersible drilling platform. .But in 1989, China had been close to cutting edge years, and had no contact with this kind of high-end offshore oil equipment.

Let alone in-depth contact.

On the other hand, the semi-submersible offshore drilling platform is also developed from the bottom-mounted offshore drilling platform, which is in line with Dahua Industrial's technology.These engineers in the company can always get it with their feet bumped.

So, as testing progresses, engineers learn more, get more interested, and work longer hours.

Although the Saudis only believe in European products and disdain American products, they are still terrified when they see Chinese working ten or twenty hours a day.

Nasr was very worried about someone's sudden death or serious injury, and he repeatedly asked Sioux City to compress the working hours of the workers to less than [-] hour.

Su Cheng ignored him, but asked everyone to rest as much as possible, arrange their own time, and arranged for a doctor's physical examination.

After all, such an opportunity is rare. For Chinese researchers, it is the same way to work in China, and the effect is better in Saudi Arabia. Naturally, there is no reason to rest.

Only in Saudi Arabia, which does not value technology, can such unscrupulous dismantling and research of third-generation offshore drilling platforms be possible.If it is a drilling platform owned by a European or American country, or a shipowner in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, there is no hope of boarding a drilling platform with such qualifications as Dahua Industrial.

What's more, the working hours of the third-generation offshore drilling platforms are generally not as long as the previous years. Except for countries like Saudi Arabia, who would be reckless and not take any cold shutdown measures to stop the brand new drilling platforms for 2 years?

If there is no such a long time of waiting, naturally there is no need to disassemble it for inspection and repair, and there will be no such wonderful research opportunities.

At this time, Su Cheng was a little thankful to Chai Wei.Although their opportunities are not as obvious as the benefits of a few drilling rig orders, the effect of technology upgrades is the same.

The comprehensive inspection took a long time, and when the results were announced, Dahua Industrial was not the only company that appeared.Halliburton in the United States and Hydro in Norway also appeared at the same time.

Halliburton sent a group of people during the exhibition, and Jensen was with him as a consultant. Lao Bai's face was a little rosy, and when he saw Su Cheng, he smiled and said, "I heard that Dahua Industry will participate, so I want to , I can meet Director Su." "How did you achieve at the exhibition?"

"Of course it's not as good as Director Su's." The speaker was a foreigner with a red nose, and he smiled angrily, and said, "Dynamic positioning equipment, Dong Su only sells one for [-] U.S. dollars. How much is the profit?"

"Aren't you from Halliburton? You don't know the success of our joint venture?" Su Cheng looked at Jason.

The latter coughed and introduced: "This is our sales director, a New Zealander, Guertos."

Su Cheng was stunned, no wonder the whole person looked flushed, probably with Maori mixed blood.

Bethatos had a bad impression of Sioux City, so he grumbled a few words that were not in line with the market economy, and went to the Saudis to show off his cuteness.

Su Cheng smiled and asked Jason: "Do you still want to win this maintenance task?"

Jensen hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "If Saudi Arabia intends to start drilling offshore oil, Halliburton will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

"Do you have the ability to fully repair the third-generation platform?" Sioux Cheng looked at Jensen deprecatingly.Halliburton doesn't do much research on offshore drilling platforms, and their current main force is still in the joint venture with Sioux City.

It can be said that the engineers on the offshore drilling platform of Halliburton are now working for Sioux City, and their standard is probably not as good as that of Dahua Industrial.

Jason is the person in charge of the China region, so he naturally knew this, and said helplessly: "Bertos insists, and I have no choice."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "You also let him mess around. He messed around during the exhibition, but how many orders were signed out? Now you want to fight Dahua Industry? This time, Halliburton not only failed to succeed, but also lacked strength... ..."

At some point, Bertos turned around again, listened to the second half of the sentence, and said: "Since Chinese companies can do it, Halliburton can naturally do it too. Although I don't understand technology, I understand simple In comparison, Halliburton is better than Chinese companies, and if Chinese companies can take orders, Halliburton can take orders.”

Su Cheng smiled, and said, "Let's talk again after the comprehensive appraisal report comes out."

"Okay, our engineers are waiting." Bertos was very stubborn.

Within a few minutes, the third-party appraisal company sent down the specific information.The Arab from the United Arab Emirates Petroleum Company held a folder and read on the spot: "According to our inspection. In the past two years, the platform has undergone little or no maintenance, and there is no cold stop or storage arrangement. The mechanical parts of such equipment have had adverse effects. The structure and machinery of the platform have been severely damaged due to continuous erosion. If the platform wants to continue drilling operations, intensive maintenance and repair work must be carried out. Among them, direct repair items are legally and Classification society inspection items, 11 individual procurement items, 4 assistance service items...total cited items..."

The engineer next to Bertos turned green when he heard "seriously damaged", and he was abstracted when he heard the direct repair project of Qiaoxiang.

In terms of their success, every direct repair project means a tens of thousands of dollars in success, which is naturally scary no matter how it sounds.

The engineer lay on Bertos's shoulder and explained to him. The people from Norsk Hydro discussed in a low voice for a moment, and then said: "We have questions about the maintenance cost."
