Chapter 815 Pretending
The area of Surakhany oil field is much larger than that of Bibi-Heybat oil field, and this oil field with an area of more than 100 square kilometers has proven reserves far exceeding that of Bibi-Heybat oil field.
According to data given by Soviet oil experts in the 1940s, the total reserves of the Surakhany oil field exceeded 7 billion barrels. At that time, the oil field was at its peak, and there were more than a thousand wells in this area.
Of course, after nearly a century of mining, the oil field is now almost completely free of oil. This is enough to be seen from the fact that only a few dozen kowtow insect pumps are working in this huge area.
Although the Baku oil and gas area cannot be compared with its peak period, it is still the main oil-producing area in Azerbaijan. Now Azerbaijan's daily oil production is still as high as 800,000 barrels, but most of this output comes from the undersea oil in the Caspian Sea and in areas farther away from Baku.
The old oil and gas areas closest to Baku city have entered their twilight years. For example, the Surakhany Oilfield and the Bibi-Heybat Oilfield I saw before, even though there are still several oil wells working, these two once glorious oil fields have now entered the countdown period of death.
Of course, this death countdown does not mean that these oil fields have no oil to be recovered, and there is no heavy oil left underground. This death countdown refers to the oil wells that can only produce more than a dozen barrels or even a few barrels of crude oil every day, and no longer have any large-scale industrial mining value.
Under such circumstances, Yang Jing and Guo Dabao, accompanied by Alex Perov, finished viewing the two old oil fields, and Guo Dabao began to sign relevant transfer agreements with Alex Perov.
For Yang Jing, it doesn’t matter whether it is an old oil field that has completely died or an old oil field that has left a breath. Once the treasure gas contained in the heavy oil is absorbed, then half of the huge amount of heavy oil that could not be mined will inevitably become crude oil that can be mined.
Therefore, for Rongbao Mining, no matter what kind of old oil well it is, as long as you buy it, you will definitely make a big profit.
Of course, in order to rejuvenate some old oil wells, they still have to be installed.
The signing of the contract was very smooth. Under the witness of lawyers on both sides, the contract involving US$110 million and 625 old oil wells was successfully completed under the writings of the boss of Luke Oil Company and the boss of Rongbao Mining.
Yang Jing, as the largest shareholder of Rongbao Mining, visited the signing ceremony in close proximity.
After the signing ceremony, as the local snake and the richest man in Azerbaijan, Alekperov held another grand celebration banquet. It is worth mentioning that the Azerbaijani leader who did not show up at the welcome dinner held in Alekperov's manor last time also showed up this time.
This signing of the contract is also a long-awaited thing for Azerbaijan. The rise of China is obvious to all. Moreover, China imports so much oil from Azerbaijan's neighbor Iran every year. It is nonsense to say that Azerbaijan is not jealous.
Everyone knows that China is currently the largest oil importer in the world, with an import volume of more than 400 million tons or 3 billion barrels a year. In the eyes of any oil exporting country, it is a rare big customer. The most important thing is that China is not short of money, but really does not lack money. It is a high-quality customer that any exporting country likes.
Faced with such a big customer, Azerbaijan is naturally jealous, especially when China imports oil from Iran, five Central Asian countries in the west of the Caspian Sea, and even Russia in the north also imports oil. However, Azerbaijan is sandwiched in the middle but cannot get a share of the pie, which is very embarrassing.
Therefore, Rongbao Mining successfully settled in the Baku oil and gas area this time. Although it only acquired 625 old oil wells under the name of Luke Petroleum, this can be regarded as building a bridge of communication between the two countries, right?
Once Rongbao Mining develops well in Azerbaijan, then China will have a high chance to focus their attention on Azerbaijan.
Where do you dislike the number of buyers for oil?
Therefore, the leader of Azerbaijan, Mr. President, also appeared at the celebration dinner this time. Not only did he have a cordial conversation with Guo Dabao, but Yang Jinghe followed and spoke to Mr. President for a long time.
For Alekperov, he made a lot of money in this business, so with the heavy money spent by this richest man in Azerbaijan and the enthusiastic support of top figures in Azerbaijan's business and political circles, the celebration dinner was held very smoothly.
On the second day of the celebration banquet, the oil oligarch left Baku and went to his current base camp Siberia. The oil oligarch was able to take several days out of his busy schedule to accompany Guo Dabao and Yang Jing. In fact, it was quite interesting. Now that the contract has been signed and the money has been in place, they naturally have to go back and preside over the daily work of his oil empire.
Of course, before leaving, the oil oligarch repeatedly invited Yang Jing to go to Qiuming when he had time.
Guo Dabao also threw Yang Jing in Baku with no mercy. He wanted to return to Papua New Guinea. The two precious metal mines there were about to enter the mining stage, and he needed to go over and stare at them in person.
Therefore, Yang Jing, the largest shareholder who usually cares about the company, finally takes the lead this time.
However, Yang Jing is very clear that his main task is to "find a new reservoir", and other tasks are secondary. As long as a new reservoir can be found, all the subsequent work will be taken over by professionals, and he can return to the life of a major shareholder who does not care about it and just waits for money to collect money.
So the day after sending Guo Dabao away, Yang Jing showed up on the sightseeing floor of the National Television Tower, the tallest building in Baku.
Morris and the others rushed from the United States after receiving a call from Chris. Although the security conditions in Azerbaijan are pretty good, they are abroad. After all, Yang Jing, the big boss, is the first priority, so Chris called Morris and the others over.
With the arrival of Morris and the others, Yang Jing's bodyguards once again exceeded ten, which was enough to ensure Yang Jing's safety.
When he came to the National Television Tower to climb up and look into the distance, Yang Jing did it for outsiders to see. After all, the secret art of "The Great Look at the Qi" he had always promoted to the outside world must be realized by standing on a high place. When he participated in a warehouse auction in Beaumont, Yang Jing was the warehouse with thirteen famous paintings hidden in the roof of a building outside the warehouse area.
Since we are going to "find" new oil and gas reservoirs this time, we must also climb high and look far.
This national television tower was built in 1996 with a total height of 310 meters, ranking 34th among television towers in the world. Yang Jing and his group bought tickets and boarded the tourist platform more than 200 meters high. To the west, you can see the vast Caspian Sea, and to the east, you can see the towering Caucasus Mountains. Of course, the two old oil fields, which are only five kilometers and more than ten kilometers away from the television tower, can still be seen clearly on the television tower.
Yang Jing pretended to watch on the tourist platform for more than half an hour. After completely admiring the beautiful and rough and bold scenery around Baku, he took the elevator to get off the TV tower and began a "field inspection" in these two old oil fields.
PS: Bow and thank you for the reward of "w's gentle knife", "a ray of sunshine in the dark", and "very lazy fish" for 100.
