Chapter 1309 Offshore Oil Exploitation

As soon as the C929 review was completed, Liu Tao took a special plane and arrived at a sea area in the Beibu Gulf.

This is an offshore oil production platform.

An offshore oil production platform is an offshore work platform built with steel or concrete, or a mixture of the two, for offshore oil production operations.

The classification of offshore oil production platforms is divided into comprehensive oil production platforms (centralized oil production platforms) and combined oil production platforms (dispersed oil production platforms) according to the layout of the platform; oil and gas production platforms, offshore oil and gas gathering and transportation platforms, and offshore service platforms according to the function of the platform; pile-based steel platforms, gravity concrete platforms, and pile-based concrete mixed platforms according to the manufacturing materials.

Offshore oil production is nothing new. For example, the United States has a long history in this regard.

China is also developing offshore oil production technology.

On land, China's oil reserves are relatively small, and it is difficult to mine and the cost of mining is high.

However, the mining of oil and natural gas at sea is now a lucrative business.

To force the international community to lower oil prices, especially to dispel Russia's desire to increase energy export prices, we have to do both.

Shale oil extraction is necessary, and offshore oil and gas extraction is also necessary!

This is also telling Russia and those oil-producing countries that China does not have insufficient oil and gas reserves, and it is not at their mercy.

The agreed supply volume and supply price must be implemented in accordance with the signed agreement, rather than looking at the rise in oil and gas prices and wanting to raise prices.

What about the agreed spirit of contract?

This year, the goal of China National Petroleum Corporation is to extract 80 million tons of offshore oil and 100 billion cubic meters of natural gas.

The Beibu Gulf is one of the oil-bearing basins along the coast of China, rich in oil and gas resources.

China National Petroleum Corporation has proven oil reserves of 4 billion tons and natural gas reserves of 1.2 trillion cubic meters in the Beibu Gulf.

The entire Beibu Gulf oil-bearing basin is a Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary basin with an area of ​​35,000 square kilometers. It is bounded by the coast of Guangxi Province in the north, the Qiongdao uplift in the south, the Cenozoic depression in Leiqiong area in the east, and the Yinggehai Basin in the southwest.

At present, this area uses inclined well operations. The Hai 6 inclined well where Liu Tao stopped has an operating depth of 4,600 meters, including a horizontal displacement of 1,300 meters, a bottom hole temperature of 150°C, and a bottom hole pressure of 73 MPa. It is the deepest well with the highest temperature and pressure in this sea area.

During the drilling process, the operators successively overcame the difficulties of large sections of difficult-to-drill ash-containing strata and dense coal seams that are prone to collapse, and finally successfully drilled and obtained good oil and gas indications.

At this time, CCTV reporters had already arrived and were already filming and interviewing.

This news will appear on the seven o'clock news and will also be reported in major official media.

In the past, this type of news would be reported less.

It is not that China has not carried out offshore oil and natural gas production, but it is just to keep everyone in harmony and do things in a low profile.

Unexpectedly, a kind person is bullied and a kind horse is ridden.

Now, not only Russia has repeatedly asked for an increase in oil and natural gas prices, but even delegations from Africa, South America and the Middle East also want to raise prices when they visit China.

This makes Liu Tao very angry.

He feels that in the past, he thought the world was too beautiful and thought too well of all countries.

You know, since the signing of the agreement, China has been very abiding and has not violated the agreement.

When other countries import weapons and equipment, Panshan Group has never deliberately raised prices because of the sharp rise in world weapon and equipment prices, but has supplied goods according to the agreement.

Now, now that oil and natural gas prices have risen sharply, they want to change the agreement.

How can it be so good.

"Next year, our offshore oil production in China will reach 100 million tons and natural gas production will reach 200 billion cubic meters. In the next five years, we will strive to achieve offshore oil production of 200 million tons and natural gas production of 500 billion cubic meters." Liu Tao faced the reporter's interview and calmly introduced China's goals.

Others will not believe what others say.

But if Liu Tao said this, other countries would have to believe it and think twice before acting.

This is his deterrent power.

The same words, said by different people, have different effects.

The seven o'clock news, broadcast on time.

The head of the Russian Embassy, ​​Sergey Razov, is watching the seven o'clock news in China on time.

As the most authoritative news report in China, it is a must-see news for these people.

Sergey Razov is the second Russian ambassador to China, and the first ambassador to China is Igor Rogachev. Sergey Razov is a China expert, because as early as the Soviet era, he worked in the Soviet Union's trade representative office in China and was familiar with the Chinese market. He is also very proficient in Chinese and speaks fluent Mandarin.

During this period, Sergey Razov cooperated with Russia, hoping to change the previously signed oil and gas supply agreement.

The signing of this ten-year oil and gas supply agreement was an absolute big order, and Russia was very satisfied.

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Shuba~~

However, since 2001, as the prices of oil and natural gas continued to rise, Russia became increasingly dissatisfied with this large contract.

In the past few years, facing the aggressive attitude of the Americans, the Americans launched the Afghan War, which made Russia feel threatened in the abdomen. Then the Americans launched the Iraq War, which also made Russia full of worries, fearing that the Americans would conquer Iraq and use it as a springboard to control the entire Middle East.

If that were the case, perhaps the Americans would become stronger and continue to be strong for a hundred years, and everyone would have to follow the lead of the United States.

Faced with the huge pressure from the United States, Russia had to suppress its eagerness.

However, since last year, judging that the United States was trapped in the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, and that the Afghan War and the Iraq War could not be ended in a short time, Russia became eager to move.

The two sides held five consecutive rounds of negotiations, but they all ended unhappily.

Russia felt very aggrieved and believed that the price of the agreement signed at the beginning was too low, and Russia suffered a great loss.

China took out the agreement, which was written in black and white, and believed that it was implemented by relying on the agreement.

Repeatedly emphasized the spirit of contract.

Sergey Razov also knew that Russia had lived a very comfortable life in recent years, largely because of the rise in energy prices, which made Russia a lot of money.

But he also knew that it would be very difficult to achieve the price increase target.

The damn rabbits seemed harmless, but it was not easy to take advantage of them!

Suddenly, when he saw Liu Tao's news, the news was not long, about two minutes, but it made Sergey Razov's eyes widen.

China will achieve offshore oil production of 100 million tons and 200 billion cubic meters of natural gas next year, and offshore oil production of 200 million tons and 500 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the next five years!

This is simply a bolt from the blue!

If China produces more oil and natural gas, it will inevitably reduce the import of oil and natural gas.

Which party's import volume will be reduced?

Hiss~~

Sergey Razov couldn't help but take a breath.

The first country he thought of was himself! (End of this chapter)
