Seven companies have determined a total fundraising amount of US$16 billion to form an offshore fund. Dahua Industrial, which invested the most, spent almost all of its reserves and borrowed US$1 billion to raise US$4 billion, accounting for 25% of the total. British Universal, which invested the least, also invested US$1.2 billion, which greatly exceeded the total. Their original plan.
As the main body of insider trading, offshore funds are naturally secretive, but the heads of various companies who come to sign contracts cannot hide it.
??Especially for a European company like Repsol, both the president and chairman are under the nose of the media. It is difficult to hide it domestically, let alone go abroad.
Su Cheng simply invited them to visit Dahua Industrial¡¯s newly built drilling platform.
The sixth drilling platform, numbered 506, is now standing on the Aseri Ocean. In order to install it, Dahua Industrial dispatched nearly 200 employees and worked for three months.
Being able to invite so many people is, on the one hand, good news about Dahua Industrial¡¯s oil fields is spreading frequently, and on the other hand, it is also the specialness of the No. 506 drilling platform.
This is China¡¯s first fourth-generation jack-up drilling platform.
With a total length of 75 meters, a width of 40 meters and a height of 87 meters, the jack-up drilling platform is definitely a world-class drilling platform that surpasses the mainstream.
Although the Swedes had built fourth-generation drilling platforms as early as 1987, even in 2007, jack-up drilling platforms with a maximum operating water depth of 150 meters and a maximum drilling depth of 6,000 meters were still the first choice for continental shelf drilling. Newly built or renovated drilling platforms also have similar data parameters, and at most they only improve some ancillary functions such as living areas.
Dahua Industrial was able to independently complete the fourth generation jack-up drilling platform in 1994, so it is understandable that it should celebrate grandly.
At present, there are only about ten shipping companies in five or six countries that can produce such products.
Also invited were Chairman of the Azerbaijan State Oil Company Aliyev Jr., Minister Xu of the Ministry of Machinery Industry of China, Vice President Lin Yonggui of China National Petroleum Corporation, Vice President Zha of China National Offshore Oil Corporation, and Director Mao of the China Development and Reform Commission. et al.
Wang Dehuang, who was originally doing production "judgment" locally, flew back to China early to report. Schwanke was left behind because of his technical expertise and accompanied Vice President Cha of the head office to visit the drilling platform.
Schwanke visited drilling platform No. 503, then looked at drilling platform No. 506, and consciously found a way out. During the visit, he chose his own route, thinking carefully, nodding and sighing, frowning and scratching his head. His expressions were exciting, but he didn't talk much.
Vice President Cha, who was nearly sixty years old, patiently let Shi Wangke go in front. After the whole ship had circled around, he smiled and said: "Xiao Shi, what do you think of Dahua's drilling platform? And Haiyang Compared with Petroleum 931, which one is better?"
Shi Wanke began to ponder.
Vice President Zha chuckled and said, "What about Bohai No. 9?"
Offshore Oil 931 is the latest drilling platform in 1993 and almost the last offshore drilling platform imported by China. It was built by the St. Petersburg Shipyard in Russia. After a year, this brand-new offshore drilling platform is naturally the best offshore drilling platform in the country. In theory, in two or three years, the offshore drilling platform purchased by Three Barrels Oil in the 1970s and 1980s will undergo technical transformation. , it is not necessarily stronger than it.
In terms of size alone, Haiyang Shiyou 931 has an advantage. With a frame length of 84cm and width of 33cm, it is known as the largest jack-up offshore drilling platform in the world.
Bohai 9 is a domestic offshore drilling platform built in 1984. Although the maximum drilling depth is 6,000 meters, no one has ever used it. The maximum operating depth is 50 meters shorter than Haiyang Shiyou 931, only 40 meters, which is equivalent to It is a shallow water offshore drilling platform.
Shi Wanke, who was thinking, laughed out loud and said, "Mr. Cha, are you kidding me?"
Vice President Cha shook his gray hair, the wrinkles on his face started to move, and said slowly: "How can you say I'm joking?"
"Construction, speak clearly and don't be vague." Vice President Zha, who was accompanied by Director Xie who was in charge of publicity, could not be more stern.
"It's okay. Speak slowly. There are still several hours left for the celebration." Vice President Cha himself has a slow temper, and the fat on his chin trembles.
Schwanke's face was scolded, and he said a little embarrassed: "I mean, Dahua's No. 506 is a serious fourth-generation jack-up drilling platform. It is a bit smaller than our Haiyang Shiyou 931, but Overall, it's still not bad. Bohai No. 9 although it is our own thing, but privately speaking, it is really far behind."
"Well, what's the difference? Speak slowly and I'll listen." Vice President Zha simply found a railing and asked the accompanying staff to put down their small stools and drink water while listening.??
Shi Wanke felt a little strange. Vice President Cha was notoriously untechnical in the company. He was a political cadre. Therefore, although he had a high starting point, his promotion was very slow. He had been a vice president for nearly ten years. Schwanke thought to himself: Is this person enlightened? Want to live and learn?
After considering the words, Schwanke said: "In terms of the performance of the platform, the tonnage of the load and the platform's self-sustaining ability are more important. The specific performance of Dahua's drilling platform is not clear, but I heard that the platform's self-sustaining ability is It is 45 days, and in this aspect alone, Haiyang Shiyou 931 cannot compare.¡±
Worried that Vice President Cha would not understand, Schwanke added: "Self-sustainability is the continuous activity time of replenishing fuel, fresh water, food, etc. at one time according to the design requirements without replenishing midway. The self-sustainability time of Haiyang Shiyou 931 is 20 days , which is considered a long time on our offshore drilling platform, but compared with 45 days, the gap is still very obvious."
"Is this very important to the drilling platform?" Vice President Zha asked confused: "It is relatively small to load once, so why not send a supply ship to make more trips?"
"The wind and waves at sea are relatively strong. If you work at a time or place where the weather is not good, you need to reserve 5 days of the 20-day self-sustainment time. If you are far from the shore, it will be quite troublesome to replenish supplies. In fact, this It is mainly a reflection of design and technical capabilities. To develop fourth and a half or fifth generation offshore drilling platforms, 20 days of self-sustainability is basic, and 45 days is actually not too much. Since the tonnage of a drilling platform is very important, improving self-sustainability Ability is still relatively difficult. To put it simply, 25 days is the gap of one generation."
¡°The farther an offshore drilling platform is from the shore, the longer its self-sustainability 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 cannot be used at all. Of course, Offshore Oil 931 does not have this problem. Its maximum operating depth is 90 meters, it can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Schwanke said with a smile: ¡°The operating depth of Dahua¡¯s new drilling platform is 150 meters, which is also a gap.¡±
¡°A generation gap?¡±
"It's almost a generation." Schwanke sighed.
¡°What about other aspects? What¡¯s the difference in drilling capabilities?¡±
Schwanke thought about it doubtfully and said: "The drilling aspect is more detailed, including the height of the derrick, the load of the hook, the quality of the crane, winch, traveling block and other equipment, as well as the cementing device, mud pump, and blowout preventer. Riser, mooring system By the way, Dahua Industrial's mooring system is top-notch, they have cooperated with Halliburton"
"Do you understand all this?" Director Xie, who was doing the propaganda, had a serious expression.
"I don't know much. From what I just read and what I saw in Dahua's introduction brochure, it's still much better than Haiyang 931, especially a few key parts, such as diesel generator sets, reducers, etc. , they have all completed localization.¡±
"In other words, the level is higher than that of domestic research institutes?"
"Of course, the 706 Institute" Schwanke smiled at this and said: "Our country mainly does a lot of basic research, which is 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 Offshore Oil Corporation.
Of course, it¡¯s not surprising that there are opinions. State-owned enterprises are small kingdoms that want to produce and sell their own products. If circumstances permit, they are eager to control all profit points in their own hands.
From the perspective of thinking within the system, it is indeed not a good thing to let 706 of CSSC System master the drilling platform technology that is crucial to CNOOC.
Vice President Zha gently twirled the water glass and said, "According to you, Dahua Industrial's offshore drilling platform is very advanced?"
"The brand-new fourth-generation products are only a few years behind the best foreign jack-up drilling platforms. Of course, a lot of their equipment is imported, but because of this, it is rare to be able to form an overall strength." Schwanke Don't hesitate to express your praises.
Vice President Zha looked at Director Xie.
The latter lowered his head slightly and said: "The construction is still relatively advanced in terms of technology."
"Yeah." 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 intention of asking.
Schwanke was stunned and said, "Buy Dahua's offshore drilling platform?"
"how?"
"It's good, butthe offshore drilling platform is manufactured by Dahua Shipbuilding, and they also have LNG ship business. Even if Dahua's own orders are placed,The plan has to be postponed until next year. Even if we want it, we won¡¯t be able to get it immediately. "
"Next year?"
"Shi Wanke didn't understand the situation and whispered: "It will actually be good next year. Then we can modify the original design based on the feedback from use."
"That's it. If you can order it for this year, order it for this year. If you can't order it, sign a contract and order it for next year." Vice President Cha is used to ordering deadlines of one or two years.
Having made the decision, Vice President Zha slowly walked up. When he reached the platform, Director Xie went directly to Su Cheng, but was stopped by the hidden Azerbaijani bodyguards a few meters away.
"I have a big deal with Su Cheng." Director Xie raised his neck, giving Party A a sense of superiority.
"I'm sorry, if you have any business, come and talk to me." Yan Xuecan smiled and came to the side of the bodyguard. It was the time for the offshore fund to start, and no one in Su Cheng wanted to see him.
Director Xie frowned slightly and announced his family background: "I am Xie Baoguo from CNOOC. Please come over, Director Su." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
