Homo sapiens

Siam Branch is engaged in vigorous construction and development of the automobile industry.

And the Hongsawady branch is not idle either.

Just at the beginning of this year, the Development Group secretly did a big thing in Kachin State, north of Honsawady.

The northwest border of Kachin State is a relatively gentle mountain range, and on the other side of the mountain is Assam in Tianzhu.

In the Nanyun Valley near the border, the residents here have been cleared out and all have been relocated to more livable cities.

After being cleared, the Nanyun Valley was officially listed as a nature reserve on the official website of Hongsawady.

Judging from satellite images, it has indeed become a deserted area.

But in fact, the Development Group secretly built a large underground base inside this valley through the cover of the green umbrella system and underground facilities.

The western edge of the base is basically close to the border line, less than one kilometer away from the border line.

The reason they were built so close was to steal things.

The management of the Development Group came up with an ingenious plan by combining various technologies from the current Homo sapiens companies.

Because they found that the company's excavation technology is very advanced and the excavation cost is very low. Even if it is excavation underground, as long as it is well controlled, there will not even be big vibrations or obvious movements.

In this way, they focus on the things in other people's homes.

Mang Wenxing, who proposed this plan, personally formed a special project team called "Straw Plan" to formulate plans specifically for the purpose of stealing things.

After observing the surrounding neighbors, Mang Wenxing first eliminated the northern neighbors who could not be offended, then eliminated Siam who had become one of his own, and Lancang who was extremely poor.

Finally, he could only turn his gaze to Tianzhu to the west.

Considering that it was difficult to keep secrets on the coast of Rakhine State, he set his target on Assam on the northwest border, which happened to have what he wanted on the other side.

There is a long and narrow river valley plain in Assam. In this valley plain, there are a lot of natural gas and oil.

Among them, the closest oil field to the Nanyun Valley is the Digboy oil field in Assam. The distance between the two sides is only 47 kilometers, and the underground oil and gas layers are even closer.

According to the geological survey data of Mangwenxing Survey, the oil reservoir of Digboyi Oilfield is less than 24 kilometers away from the Nanyun River Valley.

Therefore, he pushed the company to build the Nanyun Valley base.

After building part of the infrastructure and underground base, the base drilled a well with a depth of 1,000 meters, and then excavated from the bottom of the well laterally to the bottom of the Digboy oil field.

This technology of horizontal excavation deep underground is currently mastered by the Homo sapiens company.

The key point of the technology is to use special parasites to carry corrosive bacteria into deep underground wells, and then use pheromones to regulate and directional corrosion of rock formations.

In order to increase the excavation speed, a micro-submarine is usually used. Through the micro-thimble device equipped on the submersible, a needle made of carbide is fired into the rock formation, which can penetrate dozens of meters in depth at a time.

Corrosion bacteria are then injected into the pores formed by the penetration to accelerate corrosion.

At the same time, genetically modified coral polyps can also be used to build special anti-corrosion coral layers in underground shafts.

The corroded sediment is boiled by the fluid and washed directly to the ground.

The underground tunnel is advancing at a speed of two to three hundred meters per day, and the Digboy Oilfield is rapidly approaching.

After 103 days of secret excavation, the tunnel finally opened up the oil-bearing layer of the Digboy oil field, and then the oil field was acquired by the Development Group.

Since the tunnel was dug diagonally upward from the bottom of the Nanyun River Valley, there was a gap between the two places.

The oil-bearing layer in the Digboy Oilfield is at a depth of 730 to 860 meters, but the bottom of the deep well in the Nanyun Valley is at 1,000 meters, so the oil from the opposite side will automatically flow here.

When the deep well was dug, a large space was left at the bottom.

Now we start to find the oil flowing from the opposite side.

Mang Wenxing came to the scene in person: "How much oil can be pumped?"

"The daily production is about 2,600 barrels of crude oil." The base manager replied with a smile.

"This quantity is not enough. I remember the reserves of this oil field are 32 million tons, right?"

The base director nodded: "Yes, the proven reserves are 32 million tons, and there are hundreds of millions of tons of oil sand and oil shale at the bottom."

Mang Wenxing showed a sinister smile: "Then increase the intensity of extraction. We have to compete with the Tianzhu people for time. As long as we drain the oil, they will definitely be able to temporarily seal the oil field."

The base director thought for a while: "If the number of vacuum pumps and oil pumping pipelines is increased, it is estimated that it can be increased to the limit of 80,000 barrels per day."

"Just follow the limit. By the way, how much oil can the supporting pipeline transport per day?"

The base director replied like a treasure trove: "The daily limit is 100,000 barrels, and the base's strategic reserve can store 1 million barrels."

"Expand the reserve, but don't build it together. Try to build a 5 million barrel oil reserve here."

"I'll write a plan."

Nang Wenxing listened to the low hum in the pipe, which was like the flow of tide, like the symphony in the Golden Hall of Vienna.

Hongsawady does not have much oil and natural gas, so he will find a way to "borrow" it from his neighbors.

Did he know that the series of oil and gas fields in the river valleys and plains of Assam store at least 200 million tons of oil and hundreds of billions of cubic meters of natural gas.

In addition, there are hundreds of millions of tons of coal, billions of tons of oil sands and oil shale.

If these energies can be "borrowed", the energy potential of Hongsawady will be further enhanced.

Just when the Nagumo base secretly sucked away the oil from the Digboy oil field.

The oil well managers of Tianzhu Petroleum Company also discovered that the oil production of several oil wells was declining rapidly.

Oil field manager Sandy was in the office. After hearing the report from his subordinates, his face looked a little ugly. He asked with a headache:

"Engineer Murry, can you take remedial measures to restore the well's production capacity?"

"If the company can afford the production cost of US$40 per barrel, it can use steam flooding technology to extract the heavy oil at the bottom." Murry said with a confused expression on his face.

"$40 is too high." Sandy looked confused.

In fact, they were not surprised by the decline in oil well productivity. After all, Tianzhu's oil consumption has increased year by year in recent years, and its local oil fields have been squeezed to the limit.

Therefore, they did not suspect that the oil flowed away on its own.

This is another reason why Mang Wenxing is targeting the oil fields in Assam, which are on the verge of depletion.

When the oil fields are gradually depleted, the people of Tianzhu will only think that they have exhausted the oil fields.

As for oil sands and shale oil, it is estimated that Tianzhu people currently do not have the technology and capital to exploit them.

You must know that the place with the largest oil sand and shale oil reserves in the world is not America, but America's younger brother Maple Leaf Country. It is estimated that it can be converted into oil, with a scale of trillions of tons.

But its mining costs are also very impressive.

Even European and American oil companies, which have been playing with shale oil and oil sands, feel that these two oil reservoirs are difficult to exploit and the costs are unacceptable.

In a place like Tianzhu where there is no foundation, the cost of extraction is estimated to be sky-high, so it would be better to import oil from Lucia, a good friend.

Therefore, Mang Wenxing has already predicted the other party's reaction. Once Assam's oil is gradually depleted, the oil fields in this area will definitely be sealed one after another.

At that time, he can help Tianzhu exploit oil sands and shale oil while the other party is blocking the well.

However, the series of oil fields in Assam need to further carefully plan a safe and concealed route due to the different stratigraphic levels and the gradual lengthening of distances.
