Spring Breeze 1991

Chapter 620 Crude Oil Market Earthquake

Crown Prince Khalifa met Yao Yuan in secret, and the two talked for more than three hours, which is extremely rare.

The next day, the Ministry of Petroleum of the United Arab Emirates organized an official tour group to visit the Dongfang No. [-] well. All the heavyweights from various companies gathered at the Kempinski Hotel were eager to visit. Group invitation.

The visiting group suddenly expanded to more than 100 people.

Su Jianmin, general manager of Dongfang Petroleum Corporation, took them to visit the Dongfang No. [-] well and Dongfang No. [-] well. It took them a full day. If Su Jianmin hadn’t said that the Dongfang No. [-] drilling platform would be improved, they would have stayed on it. of.

On the same day, international oil prices fell by 3%.

In the villa, Yao Yuan quietly hid behind the scenes.

Ruiz was very good at not leaking Yao Yuan's residence, and the security in the villa area was very strict, otherwise Yao Yuan's residence would have been surrounded by reporters long ago.

The technicians set up communication equipment in a large room on the second floor of the villa, where Yao Yuan can directly command the actions of the world's four major securities markets.

The focus is on the New York Stock Exchange, the secondary battlefield is the London Stock Exchange, and the oil futures battlefield includes the Singapore Exchange.

The next day, several Huaxia people quietly came to Yao Yuan's villa, the leader was Xia Honghua, Wen Tiejun also came, and the other two were strangers.

The representative of the national team with an unfamiliar face, followed Yao Yuan to operate this time, hoping to make some gains in the international stock market.

This is Yao Yuan's initiative to contact.

At 1:30 a.m. that day, Dongfang Petroleum suddenly wanted to hold a global live broadcast press conference. Impatient reporters flocked to the Kempinski Hotel.Representatives of various oil companies, oil service companies, oil engineering companies, brokers, investors, financial institutions, etc. got out of bed one after another and gathered in the press conference hall, which was overcrowded for a while.

The reason for choosing this time is to aim at New York time.

Su Jianmin and Qin Zhenjun attended the meeting, and Kamil, Minister of Outreach of Dongfang Petroleum, presided over the meeting.

In the impression of Western reporters, the meetings of Huaxia people are lengthy, with a long period of foreshadowing first, and the words are ambiguous, and some vague information will be revealed at the end.

They are ready for a protracted war.

Camille, a beautiful French girl, smiled confidently and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the first press conference on the development of Dongfang Petroleum's Shidan Oilfield has begun. Welcome everyone."

The audience applauded.

Camille continued, "The development of the Shidan Oilfield has made a breakthrough. I would like to invite Mr. Su Jianmin, the general manager of Dongfang Petroleum, to announce important news."

Breaking news!

Although the news that Dongfang No. 5 well has a daily output of [-] tons has spread, everyone is looking forward to official confirmation.

Because they saw Qin Zhenjun, the name plate in front of Qin Zhenjun said the position of chief engineer.

Moreover, beside Qin Zhenjun, there is a European who is a third-party appraisal agency, which is the evidence of the daily output.

This is a press conference broadcast live around the world.

At this time, in the villa, Yao Yuan, Xia Honghua and others were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV. All the preparations for the stock market had been completed. Yao Yuan invested all his money in shorting crude oil. Take this gamble.

Su Jianmin looked at the time, then slowly raised his head, facing countless cameras, with a smile on his face.This is the first time that Huaxia's face has appeared in the international oil industry with such a posture. Western reporters have seen infinite confidence in Su Jianmin's eyes.

He said slowly but firmly, "24 hours ago, Dongfang No. [-] well in Shidan Oilfield produced oil. After repeated measurements, we obtained the final daily production of Dongfang No. [-] well."

5 million tons!

Although everyone knew the answer, when the news was announced to the whole world, they were still full of enthusiasm, because they were all witnessing history and a great miracle in the history of human oil development!

Su Jianmin was full of emotions, and said a number seriously, "10.2 tons, the daily output of Dongfang No. 10.2 well is 2.8 tons! That's right, the final daily output has stabilized above this figure. Dongfang Petroleum No. 13 well The final daily output is 91 tons. Gentlemen, the Shikotan oil field can produce [-] tons of crude oil, or [-] barrels per day."

"On behalf of Dongfang Petroleum, I solemnly announce that the Shidan Oilfield has entered the stage of full-scale development. We will speed up the exploration of Dongfang No. 5000, Dongfang No. [-], and Dongfang No. [-] wells, and strive to increase the annual production of Shidan Oilfield to [-] million tons before the end of this year... ..."

What he said later was basically useless, because everyone in the venue was dumbfounded, and they were still digesting the data of "10 tons", even ignoring the decimal point behind it, and also ignoring the daily production of Dongfang No. [-] well, because the difference is not big up.

Didn't it say that the daily output is 5 tons?

How did it become 10 tons per day?

Fake it!

In the deathly silence, Qin Zhenjun picked up the speech and read it in front of the whole world. It was all dry data, but to the ears of professionals, it was all dry stuff.

From large blowouts, submarine earthquakes to emergency control, to repeated well logging, how did the result of 10 tons come about? I made a detailed introduction and took more than ten minutes.

Not only technical data, but also photos and videos.

At that time, the monitoring screen on the platform appeared on the big curtain on one side. At the moment of the blowout, everyone's hearts were lifted, and the whole platform was shaking. Dongfang Petroleum workers in overalls rushed to rescue regardless of safety...

The jet of black liquid more than 50 meters high looked like a giant dragon, and was photographed by the rescue helicopter hovering in the sky at that time. Compared with the black dragon, the drilling platform seemed tiny.

After the dust settled, the picture of crude oil being poured into the oil storage ship continuously appeared, and the instrument numbers on the oil storage ship and the platform control center were accelerating upward movement. The oil storage ship was full, and soon, more oil storage ships appeared, and the self-injection volume increased. When a 1-ton oil tanker was moored hundreds of meters away from the platform as a mobile oil storage tank, the platform passed through a temporary pipeline When crude oil was injected into it, no one doubted the figure of 30 tons per day.

The last photo is the oil storage data on the 30-ton tanker, one fifth of which has been loaded.

Video data playback is complete.

The representative of the third-party appraisal organization spoke, confirming that the daily output of the Dongfang No. 10.2 well in the Shidan Oilfield is [-] tons.

At this time, more and more people recalled Su Jianmin's words.

Annual output of 5000 million tons?

The reporter of the "New York Times" couldn't wait to stand up and asked, "Mr. Su, you just said that the annual production of Shidan Oilfield will reach 5000 million tons?"

Just waiting for you to ask.

Su Jianmin nodded affirmatively, and said very seriously, "Yes, Shidan Oilfield will achieve the target of annual production of 5000 million tons within this year, and at the same time make technical preparations to continue increasing production. That's right, the annual output is 5000 million tons!"

If Saudi Arabia announces an increase of 300 million tons of oil, the international crude oil price will fall, but it will rise anyway. For investors who hold a large number of crude oil futures and crude oil stock indexes, a few tenths of a percentage point will be a loss or profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now, an oil field with an annual output of 5000 million tons was born!

The international crude oil market was shaken.

There was no question-and-answer session. After the major news was announced, Su Jianmin and others quickly left the venue under the protection of security personnel.

The reporters went crazy and sent out the press release immediately, but in fact they didn't need to do anything more, because this was a global live broadcast.

The representatives of each company panicked and took out their satellite phones to report to the headquarters.

The New York Stock Exchange opened on time, and crude oil prices plummeted!

The cliff-like fall from US$18.75 has attracted the attention of governments of various countries, and the UAE has been under tremendous pressure immediately.

The secret talks between Yao Yuan and Crown Prince Khalifa had an effect at this time. The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar all made statements, saying that they had no intention of interfering with changes in the crude oil market...

If the four major crude oil exporting countries do not cut production, the international crude oil price will be over.

As a result, the international crude oil price has been falling all the way like taking laxatives, without any intention of stopping.

Three days later, the US Secretary of State visited OPEC countries to put pressure on it.

The low crude oil price has stimulated the economy, but at the same time, it has also caused huge losses to Western oil companies. Except for the Middle East and Russia, the cost of oil extraction in other regions is relatively high, and Western oil companies have a large number of offshore oil fields. higher.

When the international crude oil price fell to 13.5 US dollars per barrel in just three days, Occidental Petroleum lost 2 US dollars per barrel of oil extracted, and they were bleeding.

The power of throwing 5000 million tons of oil into the international crude oil market every year is so huge.

Under pressure from the United States, OPEC announced an increase in production, and crude oil prices stabilized and slowly recovered. At this time, it was already the seventh trading day after the Dongfang Petroleum press conference.

On this day, Dongfang Petroleum once again suddenly announced the holding of a press conference. This time, there was no preparation for a global live broadcast, but the UAE arranged for a global live broadcast venue, hoping that the Dongfang Petroleum press conference will be broadcast live globally.

If there is a live broadcast room at this time, the number of fans will need to be calculated in units of [-] million.

This time there was no third-party appraisal agency in the press conference, only Su Jianmin, Qin Zhenjun, and Camille, these three old faces.

This time, more journalists gathered at the Kempinski Hotel, and more representatives of relevant companies. The entire Kempinski Hotel was fully booked.

The whole world once again waited patiently and listened to the voice from China, and the global crude oil market will be swayed and deeply affected by oil companies from China.

They are like believers, holding their heads high and looking forward to the decree of the supreme leader.
