The experience of seeing an offshore drilling platform up close is completely different from that of looking at an offshore drilling platform from a distance. .

The offshore drilling platform in the distance is like a steel base floating in the vast sea. Human traces erased.The offshore drilling platform at this time is a product full of hope and majesty, and it is the backing of offshore oil people.

It is difficult to get compliments on the nearby offshore drilling platforms.Narrow and cramped and full of oil stains are its natural image. The frequent 15-meter waves and 90-kilometer winds make it look like swaying weak duckweed. It is like a self-built container sea-view house. , leaving only the blazing heat and the extreme cold.

Su Cheng patiently inspected and worked on several offshore drilling platforms, and changed one offshore drilling platform every day, and it took more than a week to complete a circle. Among other things, the sense of urgency of the workers has increased a lot. Less, more is to improve the work efficiency of local cadres.

However, crude oil is still not seen.

The anxiety in Su Cheng's heart is increasing, and he has to pretend to be calm on the surface. Several years of entrepreneurial career has cultivated his firm confidence. The fog in front of him will not make him close his eyes and lose his courage.

However, the feeling of walking in the fog will never become better.

In Shu Lan's eyes, Su Cheng's smile inevitably disappeared too much, especially the silence when she was alone, which made her feel that Su Cheng was forcing a smile.

After realizing this, Shu Lan's mood also became depressed. Apart from doing a good job on the platform, Shu Lan spent most of her free time cooking food.

She wants to use delicious food to relieve the pressure in Sioux City.

The effect of this is obvious, because the food on the offshore drilling platform is single, and the taste is also single. When you get carefully cooked food suddenly, it is easy to think of beautiful things.Especially if you are above the **, you can have "surprises" every day.

Although the rumbling engine noise is hard to find fish and shrimps near the noisy drilling platform, it does not prevent fishing and fishing in a place a little further away by boat. If you have a little skill, you will always get something.Fishing friends in many coastal cities in later generations like to charter boats to go fishing in the South China Sea. In the areas marked by offshore drilling platforms, the full-loaded catches are often hundreds of catties.

Xiaopang volunteered to take the fishing job.

He was not used to the mechanical work on the drilling platform, so he felt comfortable going out to sea by boat, which was quite to his liking. The second officer of the supply ship who was a fisherman became his partner, and the two went to sea together.

On the first day, Xiaopang had good luck, and he really caught a rare sea sturgeon, which is the fish species used to make Russian caviar. This is a very rare fishing experience. Many people who have fished for a lifetime, It is not necessarily possible to transfer a Russian sturgeon in the sea.

This success has greatly increased Xiaopang's interest, and he patted his finger to ensure a steady supply of ingredients every day.

It turns out that all he had was rookie luck.

On the second day and the third day, Xiaopang’s catches were pitiful, and so were the fishermen and cadres who accompanied him. Not to mention satisfying the needs of everyone on the platform, it was difficult to select the best parts to make a table of good dishes .

Shu Lan said with a smile that it's okay, but Qin Yun was not so easy to talk to. He asked someone to fill up his small speedboat, and said kindly: "Husband, if you don't have one nearby, then go fishing a little farther away, and you must return with a full load." !"

Fatty looked at Qin Yun with tears in his eyes, and said, "The boat is so small, it's dangerous to go too far."

Qin Yun's five fingers became claws, and he patted him heavily on the shoulder: "My husband is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Your husband is me." Xiaopang is very interested in fishing, but if you want to talk about activities such as boat deep-sea swimming, he is not sensitive, and looks at Qin Yun pitifully with a pair of small eyes.

As the daughter of Qin Shiwei who is full of muscles, Qin Yun's muscles are all grown on the heart. She firmly turned the chubby face to the direction of the sea, and said calmly: "If my husband is greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of coming?" .”

"Make money?" Xiaopang struggled uncertainly.

Qin Yun thought about it, nodded slightly and said, "That's right, how about it, don't run too far, just find a place with a signal to fish."

Then, she handed Datuo's mobile phone to Xiaopang.

Xiaopang took a look, your sister, this is a satellite phone!

In the sea where you can't see the shore at a glance, to the only place where there is no satellite signal?

Qin Yun ignored him and forcefully pushed him onto the speedboat.

Although on the surface, Qin Jun is taking the technical route and mixing with Dahua Industry with a strong financial level, but on the other hand, she will not waste her female advantage. In the entire Dahua Industry, except Other than Li Lin, no one is more suitable to take the wife's route than her.

Therefore, Qin Yun must find a way to solve Shu Lan's unhappiness.

Xiaopang had no choice but to form a two-person fishing team with the second mate of the fisherman, floating alone on the surface of the Caspian Sea.

If the boat drives farther, there may not be more catches, but the supply boat brings a relatively rich variety of food.Now Azerbaijan, like Russia, is caught in the vicious circle of soaring prices and sluggish business, but the purchasing power of the US dollar is unquestionable. The former Communist Youth League members and party members, with the madness of loving Lenin, loved George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin... Most of the various luxury venues in the Baku area face the oil companies or their bribe targets.

However, the supply from the supply ship was always intermittent, so Shu Lan thought of many ways to make full use of the existing ingredients.

Su Cheng's icy face seemed to have melted because of Shu Lan's efforts, but the oil discovery with a turning point still did not appear.

The captains of several drilling teams held back their energy and wanted to produce oil, but the more anxious they were, the more they couldn’t find the right place. The new round of exploration wells on the three drilling platforms were quiet, and they didn’t even have a chance to test oil. .

By the third week, not only the partners in Sioux City, but also different voices began to appear within Dahua Industrial.

Although he took up the post of chairman, he still has to participate in the specific affairs of the company. It's fine if he doesn't go back for a week or two. If he doesn't go back for nearly a month, many company projects will be postponed.

The people in charge of the headquarters and branch offices complained a lot, and Sioux City had to choose to return to Shanghai*Shanghai for two days a week.

So, since June, Sioux City spends two days a week on a round-trip charter flight.After arriving in Shanghai*shanghai every morning, I sailed again exhausted at night.In the remaining four days, he also had to take one day to return to Baku and talk to members of Dahua's board of directors at the local office.

The Aqijiu Oilfield, which could not produce oil cleanly, gradually became the target of Kangle's attack.

Originally, Aqijiu, who continuously produced crude oil, gave the members of the Committee of Seven great confidence, and it was precisely because of this that they jointly formed the Pan-Asian Fund.However, Sioux City personally supervised no new oil wells, which gave everyone a bad feeling.

Although so far, none of the partners has obviously changed their original intentions, but if the disadvantages continue to accumulate, it is not surprising that some people change their minds.

The hesitation within the Pan Asia Fund is accumulating, but the bulls in the futures market are slowly gaining energy.They don't have the trust of oil companies in oil. Seeing that Pan Asia Fund has invested more than 13 billion US dollars in short positions, financial companies that want to make money are rushing to make a bet against each other.

The futures market is a zero-sum game, where someone loses to win.In the eyes of the City of London and Wall Street gentlemen, the appearance of the Pan-Asian Fund is like a sacrificial offering that has been roasted red and oily.

Although Sioux City also looked at them like this, but based on the current situation, it is clear that the former has more market.

In mid-June, new oil wells were still missing.

After carefully reading the 800-meter-long seismic data, Qin Shiwei suggested increasing exploration wells and reducing or stopping oil exploration wells.

Exploratory wells are to further prove the boundaries of oil and gas reservoirs and determine the area of ​​oil and gas fields, and a small number of exploratory wells are planned to be deployed in the outer circle of oil and gas reservoirs.For evaluating the reserves of a reservoir, edge wells are most suitable.

It is not the first time that Qin Shiwei's suggestion was made. Su Cheng considered it again and again, but still did not agree, and explained: "The oil reservoirs in the Aqijiu Oilfield are complicated, and I am afraid that a dozen or so exploratory wells are not enough, but as far as the current drilling platform is concerned, In terms of quantity, let’s drill a dozen wells, at least three months.”

"But our oil wells are progressing slowly, and even if oil is produced, it is difficult to guarantee production."

"You have seen the past three oil wells, and the oil wells are the best indicator of production."

"Academically speaking, to prove the reserves of an oil field, the first choice is to explore the edge well."

"In the futures market, there are not many academics." Su Cheng still shook his head and said, "Those who stare at crude oil futures every day must be very sensitive about the output of the oil field, but you have to talk about reserves. It can be faked, but on the other hand, it cannot hit the market immediately.”

"But I can't tell without reserves." Qin Shiwei has always been stubborn in his field of expertise.

Su Cheng thought for a while, then slowly said: "Then send 507 out, and drill two more wells, it counts as much."

"Alright." Qin Shiwei agreed now, he had no concept of the futures market.According to his thinking, it is considered fast to be able to figure out the reserves of the oil field within a year, and adding an offshore drilling platform is enough to speed up the exploration progress.

Sioux City is also leaving a way out for its own plan. At worst, announcing the proven reserves can also delay the offensive in the financial market.

His thoughts gradually fell into the financial market.

Until the noise of a motor woke him up.

"Shigeru Nishioka from Inpex Japan, and Hidetomo Hirano from Sumitomo Corporation are here." Yang Ming explained to Su Cheng.They are all financial leaders who are going to go long on crude oil, but before dreaming of eating up the Fanya Fund, there are always cautious companies who will come to the site to do some inspections.
