Chapter 606 One Generation Gap

The next day is noon. .

Seven companies identified a total fundraising of $160 billion to form an offshore fund.Dahua Industrial, which invested the most, took out almost all the reserves, plus a loan of 10 billion US dollars, and raised 40 billion US dollars, accounting for 25%, while British Universal, which contributed the least, also invested 12 billion US dollars, which greatly exceeded their original plan.

Offshore funds, as the main body of insider transactions, are naturally secret, but the heads of the companies who came to sign contracts cannot hide it.

Especially for European companies like Repsol, both the president and the chairman are under the nose of the media, and it is difficult to hide it at home, let alone go abroad.

Sioux City simply invited them to visit Dahua Industrial's new drilling platform.

The sixth drilling platform numbered 506 is now standing on the Aseri Ocean. In order to install it, Dahua Industrial dispatched nearly 0 employees and worked for three months.

Being able to invite so many people is due to the frequent good news of Dahua Oilfield on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a special feature of the No. 506 drilling platform.

This is the first four-generation jack-up drilling platform in China.

With a total length of 75 meters, a width of 40 meters and a height of 87 meters, the self-elevating drilling platform is definitely a world-class drilling platform that surpasses the mainstream.

Although the Swedes had built four generations of drilling platforms as early as 1987, even in 07, jack-up drilling platforms with a maximum operating water depth of 150 meters and a maximum drilling depth of 6000 meters were still the first choice for continental shelf drilling. Newly built or rebuilt drilling rigs also have similar data parameters, and at most only improve some auxiliary functions such as living quarters.

Dahua Industry was able to independently complete the fourth generation of jack-up drilling platform in 1994, and it is understandable to make a grand celebration.

At present, there are only about ten shipping companies in five or six countries that can produce such products.

At the same time, Aliyev, Chairman of Azerbaijan State Oil Company, Minister Xu of the Ministry of Machinery Industry of China, Lin Yonggui, Vice President of China National Petroleum Corporation, Vice President Zha of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, and Director Mao of China National Development and Reform Commission were also invited. and others.

Wang Dehuang, who was originally "judging" the output locally, flew back to China early to report. Shi Wangke was left behind because of his technical expertise, and accompanied Vice President Zha from the head office to visit the drilling platform.

Schwanger had visited No. 503 drilling platform, and then looked at No. 506 drilling platform. He consciously found the way. During the visit, he chose the route by himself.

Vice President Zha, who is nearly 931 years old, patiently let Shi Wanke go ahead, and only after the whole ship circled around, he smiled and said: "Xiao Shi, what do you think of Dahua's drilling platform? Compared with Petroleum [-], which one is better?"

Schwanke pondered.

Vice President Zha chuckled and said, "What about Bohai No. 9?"

Haiyang Shiyou 931 is the latest drilling platform in 1993, and it is almost the last offshore drilling platform imported by China. It was built by the St. Petersburg shipyard in Russia.After a year, this so-called brand new offshore drilling platform is naturally the best offshore drilling platform in the country. Not necessarily stronger than it.

In terms of volume alone, Offshore Oil 931 has an advantage. With a length of 84 and a width of 33, it is known as the world's largest jack-up offshore drilling platform.

Bohai No. 9 is a domestic offshore drilling platform in 84. Although the maximum drilling depth is 6000 meters, no one has ever used it. The maximum operating depth is 931 meters shorter than that of Haiyang Shiyou 50, which is only 40 meters. It is a shallow water offshore drilling platform.

Shi Wanke, who was thinking about it, laughed out loud, and said, "Mr. Zha, are you kidding me?"

Vice President Zha trembled his gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face started to move, and he said slowly: "How can I say I'm joking?"

"Construction, speak clearly and don't be vague." Vice President Zha was accompanied by Director Xie, who was in charge of publicity, and he couldn't be more stern.

"It's okay, take your time, the celebration is still several hours away." Vice President Zha himself is a slow person, and the fat on his chin is shaking.

Shiwanke's face changed after being trained, and he said with embarrassment: "I mean, Dahua's No. 506 is a serious fourth-generation jack-up drilling platform, which is a bit smaller than our Offshore Oil 931, but Overall, it’s not too bad. Bohai No. 9...although it’s our own, but privately speaking, it’s really far behind.”

"Well, what's the difference? Tell me slowly, and I'll listen." Vice President Zha simply found a railing and asked the accompanying staff to put down the small stools and listen while drinking water.

Schwank felt a little strange.Vice President Zha is notoriously ignorant of technology in the company, and he is a political cadre. Therefore, although he is very high, his promotion is extremely slow. He has been a vice president for nearly ten years.Shi Wanke thought to himself: Could this guy be enlightened?Want to live and learn forever?

After considering the words and sentences, Shi Wanke said: "From the performance of the platform, the tonnage of the load and the self-sustaining ability of the platform are more important. The specific performance of Dahua's drilling platform is not clear, but I heard that the platform The self-sustaining ability is 45 days, and only in this point, Haiyang Shiyou 931 can’t compare.”

Worried that Vice President Zha would not understand, Shi Wanke added: "The self-sustaining ability is the continuous activity time of replenishing fuel, fresh water and food at one time according to the design requirements, without replenishment in the middle. The self-sustaining time of CNOOC 931 is 45 day. It is long on our offshore drilling platform, but compared with [-] days, the gap is still obvious."

"Is this very important to the drilling platform?" Vice President Zha didn't understand.

"The wind and waves at sea are relatively strong. If you are working at a time or place where the weather is not so good, you need to reserve 5 days of self-sustaining time for 45 days. If it is far from the shore, it will be quite troublesome to replenish. In fact, this is mainly It is a manifestation of design and technical capabilities. To develop a four-and-a-half-generation or five-generation offshore drilling platform, the self-sustaining ability of 25 days is the basis, and [-] days is actually not too much. Since the tonnage of the drilling platform is very important, it is still necessary to improve the self-sustaining ability It’s more difficult. Simply put, [-] days is the gap of a generation.”

"The farther the offshore drilling platform is from the shore, the longer the self-sustaining time will be?"

"Yes, for future deep-sea drilling platforms, it will take a week for the supply ship to come and go. The self-sustaining time is short, and it is useless at all. Of course, Offshore Oil 931 does not have this problem, and its highest operating depth is 90 Meters, I can’t drive anywhere.” Schwanke said with a smile: “The operating depth of Dahua’s new drilling platform is 150 meters, which is also a gap.”

"Gap between generations?"

"It's almost one generation." Shi Wanke sighed.

"What about the rest? What's the difference in drilling capabilities?"

Shi Wanke thought about it suspiciously, and said: "Drilling is more detailed, the height of the derrick, the load of the hook, the quality of equipment such as the crown block, winch, and travel car, as well as the cementing device, mud pump, blowout preventer, etc. Riser, mooring system... By the way, Dahua Industrial's mooring system is top-notch, they have cooperated with Halliburton..."

"Do you understand all of this?" Director Xie, who was doing publicity, had a serious expression.

"I don't know much. Judging from what I read just now and Dahua's introduction brochure, it is still much better than Haiyang 931, especially several key parts, such as diesel generator sets, reducers, etc. , they have all completed localization.”

"In other words, it is higher than the level of domestic research institutes?"

"Of course, the 706 Institute also..." Shi Wanke smiled when he said this, and said: "Our country mainly does a lot of basic research, which is still different from enterprises."

He did not comment positively on Institute 706, although Institute 706 is a research institute affiliated to CSSC and has no direct relationship with CNOOC.

Shi Wanke suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought to himself: Could it be that Vice President Zha has all opinions on 706?

Of course, it is not surprising that there are opinions. State-owned enterprises are all small kingdoms that want to produce and sell themselves. If the situation permits, they would like to control all the profit points in their own hands.

It is really not a good thing to let the 706 of the CSSC system master the drilling platform technology that is crucial to CNOOC. From the perspective of the system's thinking.

Vice President Zha gently turned the water glass and said, "According to what you said, Dahua Industrial's offshore drilling platform is very advanced?"

"The brand-new fourth-generation products are only a few years behind the best jack-up drilling platforms abroad. Of course, they also import a lot of equipment, but it is precisely because of this that it is rare to be able to form an overall strength." Shi Wangke Don't be stingy with compliments.

Vice President Zha looked at Director Xie.

The latter bowed his head slightly, and said, "The construction is still relatively advanced in terms of technology."

"Yes." Vice President Zha nodded slowly, and said, "It seems that we want to get in touch with Dahua. If CNOOC also has such an offshore drilling platform, there will be more room for cooperation in the Bohai Sea region."

He faced Shi Wanke, with a slight questioning meaning.

Shi Wanke was taken aback, and said, "Buy Dahua's offshore drilling platform?"

"how?"

"It's good, but... the offshore drilling platform is manufactured by Dahua Shipbuilding Industry, and they still have the business of lng ships. Even Dahua's own orders are estimated to be scheduled until next year. We just want it. All of a sudden. Can't get it either."

"next year?"

Shi Wanke didn't understand the situation, so he whispered: "Next year is actually pretty good, so we can modify the original design based on the feedback from use."

"That's it. If you can order this year, you can order this year. If you can't, you can sign a contract and order next year." Vice President Zha is used to the order period of one or two years.

After making a decision, Vice President Zha walked up slowly. When he reached the platform, Director Xie went directly to Su Cheng, but was stopped by hidden Azerbaijani bodyguards a few meters away.

"I'm looking for Su Cheng for a big business." Director Xie raised his neck, feeling the superiority of Party A.

"Sorry, talk to me if you have business." Yan Xuecan smiled and came to the side of the bodyguard. Now is the time for the offshore fund to start, and no one in Sucheng is willing to see it.

Director Xie frowned slightly, and reported his family background: "I am Xie Baoguo from CNOOC, please come over here for a while." (To be continued.)
