Spring Breeze 1991

Poverty limits imagination. This sentence can be interpreted in different ways.

Yao Yuan is already very rich, but compared to the richest people in the world, he is still poor.

This is one of the factors that limits his imagination.

Second, he, Qin Zhenjun and a group of technical executives have all fallen into "smart thinking", that is, they are fixed within a certain range.

This is the reason why Lin Wei saw the possibility that they couldn't.

The cost of laying pipelines and reclamation is undoubtedly higher.Pipelines are used all over the world to connect offshore oil wells three kilometers from land to onshore oil storage facilities.

Even if a three-kilometer sea-blocking dam is filled in, the cost is dozens of times that of the pipeline.

However, after Lin Wei said this plan, Yao Yuan immediately realized that this was the best plan for Dongfang No. [-] well.

Because the daily production of Dongfang No. 10 well reaches [-] tons, it is no longer possible to take general measures like other nearshore shallow sea oilfields.

Lin Wei was a little embarrassed to be so excitedly agreed by everyone, and said, "Ayuan, you forgot the embankment of Dong'an Island. If it is built in this way, the pipeline can be laid with a larger diameter, and it can also be driven. They even simply filled in this area, turned the Dongfang No. [-] well into an onshore oil well, and directly built an oil tanker terminal here, which will cost less in the long run.”

After a pause, Lin Wei said, "I just don't know if the UAE agrees or not. Their environmental protection standards are the same as those in Europe, which is better. It seems difficult to approve land reclamation."

Yao Yuan said confidently, "It is difficult for ordinary oilfields, but there is no problem for Shidan Oilfield. Look, the UAE will definitely support it with all its strength."

He glanced at the technical executives and said, "Experts, it seems that some reclamation engineering experts have joined the team. Let's start making plans according to this idea immediately."

With the direction, it is easy to handle. Lin Wei gave the technical executives a detailed introduction to the situation of the sea blocking levee of Dongan Island.

Yao Yuan and Qin Zhenjun walked to the windshield and looked down at the operation deck, saying, "I want to transform Dongfang No. [-] into an oil production platform and retain the current exploration function."

"Just change it here?" Qin Zhenjun asked.

"Well, just change it here to ensure non-stop production." Yao Yuan said.

Qin Zhenjun thought for a while, "It's feasible, the self-spraying period will last for a while, and by then the new oil production platform should be in place."

"I don't want to rent Halliburton's oil production platform anymore, Uncle Qin, can our fourth-generation oil production platform be produced within a year?" Yao Yuan asked.

Qin Zhenjun shook his head and said, "It's basically impossible. At present, we only have part of the third-generation technology, and we don't have the ability to develop the fourth-generation platform."

He is the chief engineer and also the director of Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute. Under Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute, there is an Offshore Platform Research Institute, which is a cooperative relationship with the Ship Design Institute of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences.

"If you get Halliburton's fourth-generation platform technology, can you do it?" Yao Yuan asked.

Qin Zhenjun smiled and said, "That must be no problem. First imitate one, and then improve it in the process of localization. We are good at this."

"Halliburton has proposed cooperation conditions. They want to be the only oilfield service provider in the Shikotan Oilfield. My condition is that they can be the only one among foreign investors, but they need to transfer all the technologies of the fourth-generation offshore drilling platform to us, including dynamic positioning. .” Yao Yuan said.

Offshore drilling platforms and offshore oil production platforms have a large number of common technologies, and the different technologies are not the most difficult to overcome.

"Are they willing to transfer dynamic positioning technology?" Qin Zhenjun was surprised.

This is the core technology of the fourth-generation platform, involving a large number of patented technologies.In fact, whether it is Dongfeng Academy of Sciences or Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute, if they want to develop dynamic positioning technology, it is difficult to completely bypass the technical fortress established by Halliburton, and they still have to spend patent technology royalties.

The overall transfer does not have this problem.

Moreover, by thoroughly understanding the fourth-generation platform technology, it can directly launch the development of the fifth-generation platform. In the field of offshore drilling platforms, it will immediately keep pace with the world's advanced oilfield equipment manufacturers such as Halliburton.

Halliburton is not only the world's largest oilfield service provider, but also the world's most powerful and largest oilfield equipment manufacturer. They invest more than one billion US dollars in forward-looking technology research every year.

The Ship Design Institute of Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences and Dongfang Petroleum Research Institute are still far behind. It is not easy to keep pace with Halliburton in a single field.

Qin Zhenjun said, "Will Halliburton agree?"

"Should be." Yao Yuan is very confident, "They will not let go of the opportunity to become the sole service provider of the oilfield with the largest single well production in the world."

Smiling, he said, "Witford also sent a formal letter, hoping to meet with me and talk about cooperation."

Qin Zhenjun laughed immediately, "Witford is the second largest in the world, so why don't we simply bring in the world's third largest oilfield service provider and let the three of them compete."

"Schlumberger and Baker Hughes have sent official letters. There are dozens of oil service companies alone. President Su said that the letters have filled his desk." Yao Yuan laughed.

Qin Zhenjun was basically relieved, "Then you can go back today, it's okay to have me watching over here."

"You come with me and go back to the city to rest for a while." Yao Yuan said.

Qin Zhenjun shook his head and said, "It's the same everywhere, and I feel more at ease on the platform. If I want to do improvement work on site, I must be on site."

"The improvement work is not in a hurry, and in order to cooperate with the follow-up series of work, all platforms in the oilfield must be managed in a closed manner, and strict confidentiality disciplines must be implemented. If you don't leave now, I am afraid it will be a month or two. "Yao Yuan said.

Qin Zhenjun said, "Then I can't go anymore. Little Yao, don't worry, the living conditions on the platform are many times better than when we were developing the Shengli Oilfield. Besides, it is only three kilometers away from the base. If I want to rest, I don't know." Go to base."

Yao Yuan gave up on persuasion. Everyone in Lao Qin's generation is a workaholic. Now that he has done such an earth-shattering thing and won honor for the country and a long history, it is even more impossible for him to leave his post.

After talking about the improvement work, Yao Yuan and Lin Wei returned to the base by commuter boat that day.He Xueli and the others were waiting eagerly at the base.With Lin Shuting around, He Xueli would never follow Yao Yuan, she grasped this aspect very well.

Yao Yuan first asked the director of the base.

The director of the base is in charge of logistics. The butler is an enterprise supply chain expert who has stayed abroad. He deeply felt the status of the Chinese abroad, so he resolutely returned to China and made his own contribution to the economic strength of the motherland. No one is strong. Backed by their motherland, their compatriots who chose to stay abroad at that time were always inferior. I have to say that An Huai, a 30-something supply chain expert, has such a backbone.

Supply chain management began with Yuanda Electric, which is a very complex enterprise production management system, and Anhuai is the first Shanghai-style expert who proposed this theory in China.It took Yao Yuan a lot of effort to invite him into Dongfang Petroleum.

In short, using the supply chain management system can save 80.00% of the loss cost in the production process and increase the production efficiency by three times.

Yuanda Electric is able to sell all kinds of electrical appliances at a reasonable price, thanks to the supply chain management system.

After inquiring about the recent situation, Yao Yuan said, "I may have to block the oilfield for a period of time. The base and platform will be completely isolated from the outside world. The time will last about 10 to 15 days. How long will it take to prepare?"

An Huai didn't ask much, but thought quickly, and said, "It will take three days to prepare. The deployment of various materials, personnel, and ships, well, it will take at least three days."

"Okay, then three days." Yao Yuan talked about the conversion of Dongfang No. [-] into an oil production platform, and said, "All the equipment and personnel needed are transferred from China and transported by air. You have to think carefully about transporting it to the base within the scope of knowledge and control.”

An Huai asked, "Do you want to keep it absolutely secret?"

Yao Yuan laughed, "It's impossible to keep it absolutely secret, you're like this..."

He said so and so.

An Huai suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Yao, I know what to do."

"Okay, I'll leave the logistics of the base to you. The construction of the cultural square is speeding up, and our celebration will be held in the cultural square of the base." Yao Yuan said.

An Huai said with a smile, "Mr. Yao, I have a private matter to ask you."

"No problem, what's the matter?" Yao Yuan asked.

An Huai said, "My family is clamoring to come here for tourism. She doesn't know what's going on in the United Arab Emirates and thinks it's so beautiful. I couldn't convince her so I agreed. I thought, can the company help with a short-term visa?"

This is the big deal.

The rear is unstable, and the soldiers on the front line cannot rest assured to fight.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "The conditions of the base are too poor, and it is indeed not suitable for family members to come here. So, Director He, please remember to make a plan to organize family members of Shidan Oilfield employees to travel to the UAE. No matter whether they are cadres or employees, they are treated equally. , the company is responsible for all the expenses, the accommodation standard is five-star, and everything else is based on the best."

The employees of Dongfang Petroleum's Shidan Oilfield Branch have been working abroad for half a year, and they are lying if they say they don't want to go home.

But Yao Yuan's generosity still shocked An Huai. The Shidan Oilfield Branch has more than 1000 employees, which is a lot of money!

He Xueli quickly wrote it down and asked, "Where are the hired people, mainly from the Petroleum Corporation."

"Well, it's the same, but let them know that as long as they work in Dongfang Petroleum, they will have the opportunity to travel abroad at public expense every year in the future." Yao Yuan said.

He Xueli understood, and said with a smile, "Got it."

The best exploration teams and drilling teams of the Petroleum Corporation are all here. Elites like Gu Peiqiang are basically concentrated in the Shidan Oilfield, with hundreds of people.

The benefits of oil companies are notoriously good. For giants like Shell and Exxon Mobil, the benefits are outrageously good.Dongfang Petroleum holds such a huge output oil field, it is nothing at all to take this kind of employee family travel as a long-term benefit.

Besides, Yao Yuan has his own airline company, and the biggest expense here is still in his own hands.
