Chapter 383 New Oil Reservoir
Chapter 383 New Oil Reservoir
The reserves of this newly discovered oil reservoir are not lower than that of the oil reservoir that is being exploited. Yang Jing roughly estimated that the reserves of this newly discovered oil reservoir are even higher.
In other words, Yang Jing accidentally discovered another medium-sized oil field with reserves exceeding 6000 million tons.
There is a reason why Yang Jing complained about the surveying technology of the French just now, because Yang Jing discovered that the French did drill two surveying wells in this area at the beginning, and it turned out that these two surveying wells were drilled along the edge of the oil reservoir. .If the French drilled the survey well at that time and moved more than 20 meters inward, they would have discovered this oil reservoir.
That is to say, if the French were a little bit lucky at that time, the hand of the person who confirmed the survey well on the drawing shook slightly, and the Oham Oilfield would have changed from a medium-sized oil field with a reserve of 800 million tons to a large-scale oil field with over-reserves. million tons of large oil fields.
It's a pity that the luck of the French is obviously not so good.
A medium-sized oil field that had been hidden under their noses for more than [-] years just passed them by.
Even a rough estimate of the newly discovered oil reservoir, Yang Jing, has a minimum reserve of 6000 million tons.Because it is exploited in the desert, the secondary oil recovery technology often used in other oil fields is difficult to implement here.After all, the basis of secondary oil recovery technology is water injection and gas addition.It’s okay to add gas, but the way of water injection is a bit difficult in desert areas.
But even if secondary oil recovery is not used, a medium-sized oil field with a reserve of more than 6000 million tons can recover at least 2000 million tons. The crude oil in the Oham Oilfield is high-quality light, low-sulfur crude oil, and one ton is equivalent to about 7.2 barrels .The recoverable volume of more than 2000 million tons is 1.5 million barrels.
Based on a net profit of US$15 per barrel, this newly discovered oil reservoir alone can bring a net profit of US$[-] billion to Rongbao Mining.
If Yang Jing can turn about half of the heavy oil in the reservoir into recoverable light, low-sulfur crude oil by absorbing natural gas, then these two reservoirs together can provide Rongbao Mining with at least 700 million barrels of production. Recoverable reserves—that means that this oil field, which was purchased for only 50 million U.S. dollars, can bring at least [-] billion U.S. dollars in net profit to Rongbao Mining in the next ten years or so.
As the major shareholder of Rongbao Mining, Yang Jing certainly doesn't mind such a good thing happening.He holds 40% of the shares in Rongbao Mining. Originally, Yang Jing only wanted [-]% of the shares, but in the end he couldn't beat Guo Dabao, and this ratio was increased to [-]%.
20% of the shares means a net profit of [-] billion US dollars, plus the income from the two oil fields in Beaumont, these three oil fields alone can bring Yang Jing no less than [-] million US dollars after tax every year net income.
Such a good thing, a fool would not do it.
Just do it.After remembering the newly discovered oil reservoir, Yang Jing began to absorb the natural treasure contained in these two oil reservoirs.
After trying the two oilfields in Beaumont, USA, Yang Jing has vaguely guessed some rules about the changes of heavy oil in these oilfields.
According to Yang Jing's guess, heavy oil also contains a large amount of natural precious gas, which is a great supplement to the holy ring, but for those heavy oils that cannot be mined, this natural precious gas is A shackle that restricts them from changing.
Originally, this natural treasure gas and heavy oil were in a state of balance, and no one could do anything to the other, but once Yang Jing absorbed the natural treasure gas in the heavy oil, the balance would be broken immediately, and the heavy oil would be A series of chain reactions will be produced because this balance is broken.
It is reflected in the specific performance, that is, the heavy oil in the oil reservoir that cannot be recovered will gradually become recoverable light crude oil.Until this chain reaction reaches a balanced state, the heavy oil will stop changing. The final result is that about half of the unrecoverable heavy oil will become recoverable light crude oil.
Regardless of whether this guess is right or wrong, Yang Jing himself believed it anyway.
The amount of natural precious gas contained in the heavy oil at the bottom of these two oil reservoirs is huge, and Yang Jing can't even absorb half of it. Completed again.
Of course, this absorption process lasted for seven or eight hours, from three o'clock in the morning until close to noon.
If it wasn't for Chris, they would have been accustomed to the mysterious behavior of their boss, and brought a parasol to the boss standing under the scorching sun. Yang Jing was dumbfounded by the heat.
Yang Jing, who had successfully replenished, almost collapsed when he returned to the room.
"His sister, the next time you absorb the natural treasure gas in the oil field, you must not do it in such an environment, it's really terrible!" Yang Jing took a luxurious cold shower, and lay on his feet lazily. In the air-conditioned room, whispering in his mouth.
Just now the fat man wanted to tell him the result of the Borma police station's handling of the attack last night, but Yang Jing didn't have the heart to listen, even if he didn't listen, he could know the result.
Libyans are armed and illegally crossing the border, and it is still late at night, so it is self-evident what they are going to do.With the precedent of the Amenas natural gas plant being attacked by Libyan militants five years ago, even if you guess this time, you can guess what the Algerian government's attitude towards this matter is.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the oil field.
Huaxia's strong rise in the past few years is not nonsense. Now Huaxia even dares to confront the United States head-on. What is a mere Algeria?In this regard, the gang of senior government officials in Algiers are very clear.
Now that the oil field has received no losses, all is well.As for those Libyans who died, they deserved what they deserved.Damn it, terrorists still want human rights, so stay where you are!Terrorists are not welcome in the Sahara.
Looking at Yang Jing's lack of energy at all, the fat man is also very sensible, so he didn't say much.
But after all, Yang Jing is a person who has the skill of "feeding back". After the natural treasure energy he had just absorbed circulated around his body for a few times, the feeling that was no different from heatstroke disappeared immediately.
"Fatty, according to my observations, I think this oil field should have more than one oil reservoir." Yang Jing, who was lying on the bed, shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts, said to the fatty.
The fat man picked up the water glass and blew on it, took a sip of the tea, and said, "Is there another oil reservoir here? I don't think it's possible? As far as I know, the French have been in this area for about 30 years. There are no less than ten survey wells drilled on the surface of one hundred square kilometers, if there are oil reserves, how could the French not discover them?"
"Cut, the French are awesome? Just because they can't find new oil reservoirs doesn't mean we can't find them. For example, based on my observations this morning, I think there should be some oil reserves next to this old oil field." There is a large oil deposit, but it is a pity that the French did not discover it."
Hearing Yang Jing's affirmation, the fat man regained his spirits immediately, "Old Yang, is what you said true?"
Yang Jing glanced at the fat man, "Is it true, wouldn't it be enough to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to drill a well? Now drilling a survey well is not such a strenuous task."
The fat man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I said Jinggege, did you use your mysterious big hope technique to see something again?"
"I only saw that you have gained weight these two days." Yang Jing teased and teased the fat man with a smile, "Don't ask so many questions, you know what I know about this kind of thing, don't talk nonsense. Fat man, according to As I said, just drill a survey well and try it out. After all, I am also the major shareholder of Rongbao Mining, so can I still joke around with a survey well worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say, I will arrange workers from China to do this job tomorrow."
If the climatic factors are excluded, it is relatively easy to drill oil wells in the Sahara Desert.Like the eastern region of Algeria, most of the oil reservoirs here are medium-shallow oil reservoirs, with a depth of about 1000 meters.Just like the oil reservoir currently being exploited in the Oham Oilfield, the depth of the oil well is only more than 1000 meters, and the oil reservoir just discovered by Yang Jing, if the oil well is positioned accurately, it only needs to drill an oil well at a depth of 900 meters to be able to successfully mined.
Now with the continuous improvement of drilling technology, oil well drilling is not difficult.Oil wells with a depth of tens of thousands of meters can be drilled, and oil wells with a depth of only [-] meters can only be drilled in half a month as long as they go well.
In addition to the sand layer with an average thickness of less than four meters on the surface, the Sahara Desert has dry river channels and lithosphere below.The thickness of the sand layer near Borma is slightly thicker, but it is only more than 20 meters. As long as the upper layer is well protected during drilling, the drilling below is not difficult.
Like Zheng Shuang and the others, among the dozens of oil workers Fatty brought over from China, except for a few engineers from the refinery, the rest belonged to the top drilling team.After all, after acquiring the Oham Oilfield from Total, it also acquired Total's survey and exploitation rights of more than 400 square kilometers near Borma.
These top domestic survey teams came here to survey this area.Although the possibility of discovering new oil reservoirs is not high, it must be surveyed anyway, right?
Now that Yang Jing accidentally discovered this oil reservoir, these survey workers don't have to go out to survey every day at night-the desert area rarely works during the day, and most of the outdoor activities are carried out at night.
In this kind of ghost place, 360 days a year, there are basically no people outside during the day, and no one wants to work outdoors under the high temperature of more than 40 degrees or even more than 50 degrees. That is not work, it is courting death!
Most of the outdoor work is done at night, or in the first half of the night.Although the temperature in the Sahara at night is a bit lower, it is within the range that people can bear. At most, it is no problem to wear a piece of clothing. It is not like the daytime. If you are not careful, you will get heat stroke.
