super energy power

In the eyes of oil companies, oil production is always the most important.

Whether it is petroleum refining technology, energy-saving technology, or renewable environmental protection technology, they are all technologies of how to use energy after all.In times of energy scarcity, these technologies are what energy companies call secondary technologies.

The real primary technology can only and must be the technology of energy production.

Water injection technology for secondary oil recovery, onshore deep well mining technology, shallow sea oil mining technology, deep sea oil mining technology, shale gas hydraulic fracturing technology, and tertiary oil recovery technology, these can actually increase energy supply Technology is the core technology of energy companies and their housekeeping skills.

If it weren't for the continuous improvement of mining technology, as early as the 40s, there would not be enough oil supply in the world.

Once this kind of thing happens, energy mining companies will lose their value, and energy utilization companies will also lose their meaning of existence.

But the fact is that the secondary oil recovery technology of injecting water into the well delayed the oil crisis until the 60s, and the ensuing "oil shortage" in the West made the seabed terrain complex, and the harsh North Sea oil was developed later in the sea. By the 90s, Expensive deep-sea oil development technology has made it hopeless to increase oil production, which has spawned batch after batch of environmental protection pioneers, as well as new energy technologies such as solar energy, wind energy, and biomass... In the end, it was shale gas technology that saved the world's energy .However, that was years later.

The stagnation of oil extraction technology since the 90s is a headache.In fact, it created the illusion of oil scarcity, which gradually turned the supply problem into a serious economic problem.

Yes, from a technical point of view, the lack of oil is simply an illusion.

If you look at it from a conservative point of view, that is, from the point of view of Occidental Petroleum Corporation.Oil still lasts 50 years.That is based on the current level of technology and the oil reserves discovered at this time...Since the 60s, oil experts have judged that oil can last for 50 years, and in the 70s they said that "oil can last for 50 years", In the 80s they said "oil can last for 50 years", and in the 90s they still said "oil can last for 50 years".

However, the slow progress of technology in the 90s has indeed strengthened this concept, because it seems that there is no possibility of improving oil extraction technology.

Maybe the pace of oil extraction has accelerated.Oil extraction is less polluting, oil extraction is less wasteful...but as much as the oil companies care about, these are minor details that don't make more oil.

The only way to make more oil is to discover more oil fields.

this method.Naturally, it can only increase the anxiety of more people.

It can be said that in the mid-90s, the shadow of the energy crisis was fully expanded for the first time, and it lasted the longest...

Until shale gas technology matures, energy extraction technology has no real revolutionary progress.

Both deep-sea oil extraction technology and tertiary oil recovery technology can only delay the threat of oil supply, and the same is true for oil prices.All the way up.

Perhaps, only the oil theory of the former Soviet Union can truly save the energy crisis...

However, tertiary oil recovery technology is not a revolutionary progress.However, it can still bring the benefits of an annual increase of more than 30% to a large oil field, and it is also one of the few effective oil recovery measures that can increase production before shale gas technology matures.Its value is lower than that of shale gas technology, but it is still a high-end technology comparable to deep-sea oil extraction.

Both Daqing Oilfield and Shengli Oilfield are ready-made examples, by 13 years.Daqing produces 5000 million tons of crude oil annually, and the output of tertiary oil recovery has exceeded one-third.That is 1500 million tons, which is equivalent to a crude oil import pipeline from abroad. According to the crude oil price of more than US$700 per ton that year, this is more than US$100 billion in revenue.

The profits brought about by this kind of technological progress do not need to go through complicated and painful bidding, do not have to go through the hard game between oil-producing countries and oil companies, and do not increase conflicts between labor and capital. It is really "clean".

If you want to select the most important energy technology in the early 21st century, the fracturing technology of shale gas will undoubtedly be ranked among the top three, but if you choose an important energy technology of the year, as long as the tertiary oil recovery technology does not collide with shale gas , If you can get the first one properly, even if you encounter the foolish bioenergy technology, you may not be left behind.

State-owned enterprise bureaucrats like Lin Yonggui have never paid attention to technological progress, but private enterprise leaders are different.

Such "clean and harmless" profits, even if an oil field can only increase production by 100 million tons a year, it is definitely worth introducing - this is a gross income of more than 2 million U.S. dollars. If it is replaced by other industries, this figure can be increased The turnover is to shave the hair and run naked, and the bosses do it.

Therefore, the conclusions drawn by Lin Yonggui out of comparability can also be obtained by other large oil companies.

And, as the old Baku fields are really recovering well zones, their attention is rising.

In mid-November, one month after the Azerbaijani general election, Sioux City returned to Baku.

On the chartered flight of the Petroleum Corporation, besides Sioux City and Shulan, there were several carefully selected Dahua suppliers, several members of the Shuguang Council, and a large number of Dahua laboratory researchers.

For the development of the old oil fields in Baku, there are many people who are full of interest. Ladies and gentlemen who have not boarded the chartered plane will probably notify the domestic companies to send their employees in Azerbaijan or Kazakhstan to investigate.

This made Lin Yonggui feel nervous.

He was very worried that Su Cheng's "trick" would be widely publicized. No matter from the perspective of friendship or profit, Lin Yonggui did not want Su Cheng to sink.

And China's politics are like a hot air balloon, as long as there is a small hole, it may fall from the sky to the bottom.

Lin Yonggui didn't find the right time to squeeze into the big business car in Sucheng until he was going to the oil well, and said cheekily: "I have something to talk to Director Su, you can take my car first."

This is Azerbaijan, and he doesn't even have a car of his own even as a deputy ministerial cadre.

Yang Ming, Gu Hongjun and Zhang Chao who were in the same car obediently got out of the car.

Shu Lan wanted to get out of the car too, but was stopped by Lin Yonggui, no matter how cheeky he was.It can't be so thick, so he smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's fine if you stay."

The Azerbaijani bodyguard who was originally sitting in the town house at the back of the car raised his hand and asked, "I don't understand Chinese, should I drive?"

Lin Yonggui's eyes popped out when he heard this: "You don't understand Chinese, what are you talking about?"

"I can say a few words." This bodyguard is indeed a novice.

Su Cheng coughed and said, "Ask Ah Er to come and drive."

Azerbaijan's No. [-] bodyguard is called Aer for short. This person is better at his job, and his language talent is weaker than Azerbaijan's No. [-] bodyguard.The Chinese level is basically at the stage of "Ni Hao", and I am fully competent for the task of not understanding Chinese.

Lin Yonggui waited for the car to drive away before he said softly: "Su Cheng, I know you want to prove that Dahua Industrial has a high level of technology, but using this method... I mean. If someone finds out, it will be a blow to reputation It’s huge, and it’s not worth the candle.”

Su Cheng was puzzled, and said, "What was discovered?"

Lin Yonggui thought he was unwilling to admit it, so he said in a devious way: "If the problem of low profit margin of tertiary oil recovery cannot be solved, its use value will not be great. Recently, there are many foreigners in Baku. If people can see it, so what Is good?"

"How is it good?"

"Yes."

"Dahua's tertiary oil recovery margin is low, but the profit is not bad."

Lin Yonggui asked directly: "How many?"

Su Cheng hesitated a little, and said, "Let's add tons of oil."

Su Cheng is not his subordinate, so naturally he won't be like those two experts.Informed and interesting translation of the term into simple cost.

"How much is that?" Lin Yonggui was even more confused.

Su Cheng dumbfounded, shook his head, and said: "The cost of our dry polymer powder is more than 1 yuan per ton, which can increase oil by ton. One-third of the cost."

Compared with secondary oil recovery with water injection, the cost of tertiary oil recovery is obviously much higher.The cost per barrel of dry polymer powder alone is more than $10.Even so, the remaining US dollars deducted the cost, there is still a lot of profit margins, it can be said that it is truly industrialized.Historically, it took three or four years of struggle for the domestic Daqing Oilfield to reach this level, and the help of foreign "colleagues" was indispensable.

Dahua Industrial has developed the tertiary oil recovery technology of polymer flooding to an industrial level four years in advance, and the patent alone can make crazy money. Sioux City is going to get off the old Baku oilfield, and it is clearly for showing off.

Lin Yonggui couldn't believe it. He added a little margin according to the prevailing domestic rules, and thought to himself: the estimated cost is at least half, which is about the same as the experts of the research institute.

However, he couldn't directly "explore" Su Cheng, so he just said, "It really would be nice if the cost was so low."

"Of course, you will know after watching the demonstration." Su Cheng was very happy that the two sides reached an agreement.

Lin Yonggui sighed secretly, thinking: It seems that my uncle and I must come out.

After driving for an hour, the surrounding scenery gradually changed from green to black and gray. There were more and more kowtow machines that stopped moving, rusty derricks and dilapidated houses.

Baku used to be the largest oil field in the Soviet Union. During World War II, its output accounted for 71% of the country's output. After the victory of the war, it also maintained more than 35% of the country's production capacity for several years. However, this 100-year-old oil field The oil field, after all, came to a time of decline. By the 80s, Baku's oil production was negligible.

In an oil region larger than a city, Sioux City is almost allowed to choose oil blocks and oil wells. The Dahua employees who did the previous investigation were naturally not polite. They chose an oil reservoir that is still producing a small amount of oil, and put all the Equipment and civil work, completed in extreme timeframes.

This naturally aroused the curiosity of Azerbaijani oil workers who are still working.

The convoy stopped, and after a large number of gentlemen in suits and leather shoes got out of the car, they found that not only they were watching Sioux City, but also a large number of black workers were watching them.

Lin Yonggui sweated for Sioux City and strengthened his belief in helping.
