Chapter 592: Troubled Federal Laws
Abel's fitness plan was quickly settled by Craig.
In fact, it is nothing more than some ways to improve the use of strength, exercises to respond to the body, coordination of the body, etc.
Abel glanced at it.
Then he agreed.
I will practice when I have time. This is not to be the world's number one athlete. It is just to test my current physical limits and to better grasp my current physical fitness and physical conditions.
Compared with fitness plans.
More importantly, of course, the reason why he came here himself - finding a path that can transport the oil in his oil field.
This is not good in capitalist countries. The territory is basically owned by the owner, and there are very few unowned territory. The oil fields are all owned by some big capitalists. In this case, unless they fly over the sky.
It must pass through other people's territory and must be approved by the other party. In the transportation of oil, the most cost-effective way on land is of course the oil transportation pipeline.
If possible, Abel is preparing to build an oil transportation pipeline and transport the oil dug out of his future oil field for sale.
This is what he came here for.
Before solving the problem of future oil transportation, he encountered another thing.
The copper mine with a content of more than 7 million tons happened to be accompanied by the oil field, and it happened to be a super large copper mine in the area where California United Petroleum has the right to exploit.
In the world, as long as it is a sovereign state, mining or mining oil is not just a matter of the owner. It often requires permission from some government departments of the country.
Digging oil in the United States requires licenses from the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Ministry of Land and Resources and the Federal Petroleum Industry Commission.
The copper mine is better, it only needs to pass through the Federal Ministry of Land and Resources and the Federal Copper Commission.
Abel is in a little trouble now.
It is true that California United Petroleum has the right to exploit here, so this area can also be considered owned by California United Petroleum. However, there is a very scam rule in American laws.
The mining rights and exploration rights are calculated separately. This means that those who explore and discover minerals do not necessarily have mining rights. Even if this area belongs to you, the minerals below this area belong to you, but you just can't mine them.
Conversely, if the discoverer has the right to explore but does not have the right to mine, the discoverer cannot mine after discovering the underground mineral deposits, but the owner who has the right to mine cannot mine without the discoverer's exploration rights.
It's very complicated and troublesome.
It means that if you want to own mining, you must have both exploration rights and mining rights.
California United Petroleum has the right to explore oil here and the right to exploit oil. This is through the Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Ministry of Land and Resources. So there is no problem with the oil below this area, no matter how Abel wants to deal with it.
But there were some problems with that copper mine.
California United Petroleum owns this location, and this copper mine is under this location. So the ownership of this copper mine is from California United Petroleum, but California United Petroleum does not apply for exploration rights in advance.
Without the permission of exploration, California United Petroleum does not allow the digging of copper ores under the ground.
This law is a scam.
But he exists in reality.
This is also why David Adams immediately notified Abel after discovering the copper mine, but did not dare to leak it. Since others cannot have the exploration rights in the United Petroleum area of California, if they are used to use some means and get stuck in the exploration rights, the mining of the copper mine will be very troublesome.
Confidentiality is temporarily required.
Before solving the problem of oil transport, Abel must also solve the problem of the exploration rights of this extra copper mine.
Abel learned information on the Federal Ministry of Land and Resources and the Copper Commission's website, and Abel officially submitted the exploration plan prepared by David Adams.
According to the market conditions in Texas and New Mexico, the single mineral exploration licensing fee will be charged more than three million US dollars.
Generally speaking, the US exploration licensing rights are also available for two years. The contract allows renewal of "payment" once. If you want to continue exploration in the future, you can apply again. At this time, others have the right to compete with you.
Abel did not value the right to explore, because he knew exactly where there was copper ore.
The situation with California United Petroleum now is that it must first have exploration rights before it can be upgraded to the rights of mineral cooperative production and mineral joint venture agreements.
In the past, California United Petroleum had not yet purchased Chevron Oil. The thing I liked to do was to explore the world. As a result, it spent too much profit in the cost of exploration rights. The serious operation of the oil company did not do it, and eventually went bankrupt and was acquired.
California United Petroleum’s past size, in the oil exploration circle and even the international mineral exploration circle, was an absolute behemoth. Even if it was weakened several times after being acquired, it was still a terrible exploration monster, which has the traditional corporate genes.
After all, California United Petroleum is the first company that can go bankrupt because of exploration everywhere.
Internationally, there are many small exploration companies that often rely on exploration and then directly sell the mining rights after discovering the minerals. This link is also one of the sources of profits of mineral companies.
Although mineral exploration does not cost oil exploration, when it comes to oil exploration, sometimes an oil well requires millions of dollars to invest. Sometimes, in a region, drilling more than a dozen oil wells is common, and it is also a lot when hundreds of millions of particles are not harvested.
California United Petroleum did too many such things to go bankrupt and be acquired and reorganized.
Texas and New Mexico have a comprehensive service in this area. Texas is now better, because the low tax revenue has attracted many high-tech companies to come. But in the past, like New Mexico, Texas relied on agriculture and oil.
Because of this tradition, these two states also have their own set of very complete services for the management of foreign investment.
10:30 am.
Many people from the two states and federal governments have come to these departments related to these situations, which is a one-stop service they are good at.
Abel even just needs to sit here and raise his own requests. Members of these government departments will quickly make a set of service plans according to the requirements of the big capitalists and complete all the procedures.
