super energy power

CNOOC is the company with the highest technical content among the three barrels of oil. Since their business is limited to offshore oil, the reality forces them to enhance their technical strength.However, in 1994, CNOOC had only been established for 12 years. Except for some political products, they had not accumulated much technology at all.

It is the imported technology, and it is very difficult to understand it. Based on foreign experience, it takes at least four or five years for a technician who is just getting in touch with offshore oil equipment to complete all the courses equivalent to master's and doctoral students. Can have the foundation to be a research assistant, but in China in 1982, it was not easy to find a technician at the undergraduate level.

Although business people in this era are very hardworking, the Chinese education in the 80s and [-]s is a tragedy. In addition, the lack of knowledge sources also hinders everyone's self-study.For non-core technicians like Schwanke, apart from the technology mastered by CNOOC, it is difficult for them to get in touch with the world's leading technology.

This is 1994.

In this era, countless state-owned enterprises want to get a backward foreign design drawing and ask to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When some high-level military factories transform into refrigerators and color TVs, they can only follow the appearance in foreign pictorials. Design, or simply make it into a stupid rectangle, occasionally find a good foreign product, but dare not take it apart rashly, for fear that it will not be able to put it back together, just copy a graphic of the handle on the spot and be satisfied.

The tracking and research of heavy equipment is even more difficult. The prevention of Western countries and companies is on the one hand, and the funds that Chinese companies can raise are another.In this era, many research institutes have a yearly budget of only one million yuan. After spending labor and basic maintenance costs, the remaining money is not enough for theoretical research. For slightly more expensive experiments, you have to apply for a queue and wait...

It is of course more difficult to raise foreign exchange. Although by 94, foreign exchange was not as rare as it was in the 80s, it was still very tense, and the central government still would not grant such important resources to research institutions in large quantities.Therefore, even the research institutes directly under the central government may not necessarily be able to afford foreign journals.

Yes, many prefecture-level research institutes can’t even afford foreign journals within their professional scope. It costs a few dollars to order a journal, and dozens of dollars a year, and it will be famous for a circle.Hundreds of thousands of dollars will go out, let alone read journals.It has to be verified experimentally.

Since China's scientific and technological level in the 90s lagged behind the world in an all-round way, the more cutting-edge technological experiments, the more foreign exchange was needed to purchase materials and equipment from abroad. It is basically impossible to get direct returns after verifying the papers of foreign counterparts, or repeating the products of foreign counterparts.

And if you only buy journals without verification, it is meaningless.Come and go.A few qualified large-scale research institutes will also reduce their investment in this area. With this money, they are more willing to invest in innovative theoretical projects.

CNOOC has the income from exporting crude oil, so it is naturally more generous on hand. It has also produced many things, such as offshore drilling platforms. They easily produced the second generation in the 80s.However.The petroleum system is a very expensive and fast-growing project. CNOOC did not continue the three-generation offshore drilling platform. The cost of their four-generation offshore drilling platform is higher than that of Dahua and foreign companies in the same period. The time and manpower requirements are also the same.

Schwanger has participated in the research and development of offshore drilling platforms, but only limited to the second-generation products, and he has been on newer drilling platforms.But the foreign company did not allow him to look carefully at all, not even allowing him to go below the deck.

Standing on Dahua's drilling platform, Shi Wan didn't want to get a negative answer, but he really took a look.Schwanke knew in his heart that this might be the best chance.

Next time, even if CNOOC sent someone to study, he might not be able to join the team.but.If I can be one step ahead, maybe I can become an "authority" in related fields.

There are many such academic authorities in the 90s. If any scholar knows a foreign language, he can get a few foreign journals and do a few follow-up experiments, and he can almost publish in national journals, and there will be many citations.

In terms of value, it cannot be said that their academic authority is not authoritative. At least, they are people who have read the original foreign language papers.

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment, looked at his watch again, and finally nodded.The drilling platform of Dahua Industry still has a certain gap from the world-class level, especially the deepwater drilling platform currently in use is only at a usable level, and it is not worried about being stolen.

If there is no accident, Dahua Industrial and CNOOC should continue the state that the well water does not violate the river water.

Shi Wanke held Yang Ming's hand tightly, made a few marks, and then greeted the other four people, and went below the deck. Wang Dehuang looked at it and said with a smile: "Well, let's not rest, either. Let's all go down for a visit. Director Yang, can we all go down?"

"You can't take pictures, try not to interfere with everyone's work, and do whatever else you want."

"Chairman Su will inform us when he arrives." Wang Dehuang still remembered his work, so he gave an order before following Shi Wanke.

Yang Ming called the supervisor of the platform to follow behind a few people, not only as a guide, but also to prevent them from doing inappropriate things.

It's crowded below the rig, with narrow stairs and narrow passages throughout, and it's like being in a submarine except for the sunlight that seeps in.

In fact, the design ideas are similar. A drilling platform with a pure steel structure is expensive to build. The heavier the building on the sea surface, the higher the requirements for the support under the sea surface. In order to put as much oil production and drilling equipment as possible, the living area and Even so, the cost of the drilling platform is quite high. When the localization is more than 70%, Dahua Industry still has to prepare tens of millions of dollars for each drilling platform.

The cramped space seemed to be filled with noise forever.People yelled all the time when talking to each other, and the five people from PetroChina and CNOOC went down inside, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Schwanke is happy, he is really doing offshore oil research, although he has done a lot of administrative work, but in China, administration and academics do not necessarily have to be separated, good academic level boosts the administrative level Ascending is a regular thing, and when he entered the drilling platform, he naturally focused on memory and thinking.

The other four people did not have this kind of consciousness. Needless to say, the three people in PetroChina thought they would spend their entire lives wandering on land.The other guy from CNOOC is a purely administrative official who lacks the basic concept of offshore drilling platforms. Therefore, when Schwanger carefully looks at the equipment, others are more concerned with observing the workers on the drilling platform.

Due to oil damage to the derrick, there are currently more than 80 workers on the platform, more than 50 of whom belong to the Chinese side.Many of them were former Soviet or European workers hired from around Baku, and most of them were busy in the dark.Only a few workers on shifts can sit on the rickety middle joint and drink a cup of coffee or tea leisurely.

Seen from the steel skeleton, the endless blue sea can be called an invincible sea.

Wang Dehuang looked at them inquiringly.

Sitting at the coffee tables were Russians, Azerbaijanis and Kazakhs, South Americans and Western Europeans.

An oil worker is a profession that travels here and there, wherever there is oil.When the British North Sea was mining oil, many oil towns in the Middle East emptied out. In the post-Norwegian period, British workers went there one after another.PetroChina people also experienced the process from Yu*men to Da*qing, from Daqing to Dongying, and then to Sichuan and Xinjiang.Iron Man Wang Jinxi is a native of Yumen, but after 10 years.Yumen, where the oil fields have been mined out, has become a ghost town, with a large number of compound overgrown with weeds.

Baku was originally an oil city. With the presence of a large number of foreign companies, it inevitably attracted oil workers from Eastern and Western Europe.

These foreign workers are all temporary workers in Dahua Industrial, but their level is good, and they undertake the task of repairing and maintaining offshore drilling platforms.

This single well produces 7 barrels per day.It has exceeded the capacity of Dahua's drilling platform, and there are countless places to be repaired every day.

After drinking coffee for a while, a few South Americans around the table spoke their native dialect and went back to work. After a while, a few British people came over to drink black tea and eat muffins.

Wang Dehuang and others stayed under the drilling platform for two hours.It wasn't until Su Cheng came back that he asked in surprise: "Why don't I seem to see Chinese workers? Is there a special place to rest?"

The supervisor resting on the steel frame smiled: "How can there be a place for people to rest on such a small drilling platform."

"Is that a time break?"

"Breaks are indeed timed breaks. However, because we are busy now and there are not enough manpower, our workers will promote their work style and reduce work breaks." The supervisor said that he was worried that they would misunderstand, and said: "Reducing work breaks is the work of workers. Spontaneous, overtime pay will also be paid."

Wang Dehuang's face became serious, and said: "Opening up new oil fields is very hard work, and if you are not prepared to endure hardships, you will not be able to persevere. No matter how good the equipment is, people are still indispensable in the end."

"Yes, although it is our own drilling platform, the daily rent still has to be included in the cost. Everyone wants to find the oil field earlier. It is much better now, and everyone is relieved when they see the crude oil." The supervisor said At this point, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

For oil people, the best compliment is crude oil.

Wang Dehuang and the others also came from the era of the Petroleum War. The passion they used to be vividly remembered, and they couldn't help but feel it. They blurted out and asked, "I heard that you have explored a super oil field. Is there such a thing?"

This is the goal of his trip, to judge the scale of Dahua Industrial's oil field.

The supervisor is a grassroots cadre, and he doesn't have too many thoughts in his heart. He smiled and said, "I'm not sure how big it is, but it's definitely bigger than Seitan. I have worked in Seitan, and all indicators are much worse than ours now. .”

Wang Dehuang slowly climbed up the stairs that were only as wide as a person, and smiled consciously: "Your single well production is 1 tons, and the annual production is at least 300 million tons. It is not difficult to imagine that it is bigger than the Setan Oilfield. , the key is how big it can be. By the way, there are more people on the drilling platform here, what about the other drilling platforms?"

At this time, in the oil region controlled by Dahua, there are 5 offshore drilling platforms in operation, and 3 are still under construction.

The supervisor climbed the stairs, raised his head, and said, "A group of people have been transferred from Setan, and then there are foreign temporary workers you have seen. There are more people than before."

"More than before?"

"Isn't it that many people didn't go home for the Chinese New Year? Now it's time to go back to China for a rotation. Setan and the newly recruited people have arrived, and many people don't want to leave immediately. They say they want to stay and come to work. There will be more people." The supervisor was a little proud when he said this. He was in his 30s, and he was spitting all over the place, splashing the face of the person under the ladder.

Although the progress is different, whether it is the workers in charge of construction or oil extraction, they came to Azerbaijan at the latest when they won the bidding. During this period, even during the Spring Festival, few of them returned home.

It's not that we can't go back to China, but because we can't spare time to go back to China in order to catch up with the progress.

The construction and use of offshore drilling platforms are quite complicated. Moreover, the earlier the drilling platform is, the more complex it is, and the higher the failure rate when using it. Dahua also used it for five or six years in the case of the Setan Oilfield. Only a few hundred qualified personnel were trained in a short period of time. Now, in the case of maintaining the Setan Oilfield, the manpower cannot be said to be sufficient.

After all, the sea where the Aqijiu Oilfield is located is deeper than that of the Setan Oilfield, and the difficulty of construction and use will increase accordingly.Most of the workers who are qualified to work here are at the top of the "special contribution list". The profits and bonuses they have created for Dahua Industry have exceeded that of local employees.

Correspondingly, Dahua employees who are finally ranked at the top of the list of special contributions will try their best to maintain their positions.

Adequate economic stimulus, coupled with a little Chinese-specific political work, is a recipe for keeping China's offshore drilling rigs working.

The hired European workers from the UK and Denmark are not so easy to talk about. Not to mention the shorter working hours and higher wages, the family leave once every two months makes people feel anxious.Several European oil companies that have drilled nearby are in dire straits. They have too many European employees and go home frequently. They almost need two teams to maintain basic operations, and more than half of the energy and transportation resources of the two teams are It was spent on ensuring rest time and benefits, etc. The whole is a super-enhanced version of Chinese state-owned enterprises.

With these European oil workers as a comparison, the American workers who rest for 45 days every six months have become much cuter.

The so-called European debt crisis was not formed in a day or two. When Europeans want to enjoy life to the fullest, life will inevitably fool them.

In the real world, there has never been room for "full-hearted" display.

Wang Dehuang looked up and found that he was about to reach the deck, so he hurriedly asked: "What about the footage, has the footage of several drilling platforms increased?"

Large number of people is not fundamental, the increase in footage shows that the workload has increased.

The supervisor nodded naturally: "Of course it has increased."

Wang Dehuang raised his eyebrows, thinking: Is Dahua Industrial's geological report very good?Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to drill.

Wang Dehuang would not be too surprised if the workload of the other four drilling rigs is reduced, but if the manpower is increased, it can only be said that Dahua is actively expanding its scale.

Based on this speculation, at least it shows that Dahua Industrial is really optimistic about the oil field.

Of course, the supervisor must tell the truth. Wang Dehuang quickly decided to go to several other drilling platforms to have a look.

At the same time, Shi Wanke was in a daze, and he didn't wake up until he saw Su Cheng on the deck.

Also on the deck of the platform were invited representatives of several foreign oil companies. A group of people were chatting and laughing, almost unscrupulously talking about oil futures and spot trading.

Su Cheng smiled all over his face, facing Wang Dehuang and others, but it was because of the initial success of the black box operation.

Gathered 6 oil companies in one breath, which is the fascinating effect of insider trading, and it is also a factor of the rising status of Dahua Industrial.

"You guys are here to visit the oil field. It's a good time to come. Maybe you can witness the birth of this super oil field." Su Cheng said in a loud tone, but he couldn't help but feel normal when he heard it.

Vaguely, this seems to be a kind of aura.
