Chapter 385 New Reservoirs
The newly discovered reservoir reserves are no lower than the one being mined. Yang Jing roughly estimates that the newly discovered reservoir reserves are even higher.
In other words, Yang Jing accidentally discovered a medium-sized oil field with a reserve of more than 60 million tons.
Yang Jing just complained about the French's surveying technology for a reason, because Yang Jing found that the French did drill two surveying wells in this area, but the two surveying wells were driven down by the edge of the reservoir. If the French were digging the surveying wells at that time, they would have discovered the reservoir.
In other words, if the French were lucky at that time, and the person who determined the survey well on the drawings shook his hand, the Oham Oilfield would have gone from a medium-sized oilfield with a reserve of 58 million tons to a large oilfield with a reserve of over 100 million tons.
It’s a pity that the French are obviously not so lucky.
A medium-sized oil field that had been hidden under their noses for more than 30 years passed by them.
Even if Yang Jing, the newly discovered oil reservoir, had to have a minimum reserve of 60 million tons. Because it was mined in the desert, it is difficult to achieve secondary oil production technology that is often used in other oil fields. After all, the basis of secondary oil production technology is water injection and gas filling. It is easy to say that it is better to add gas, but water injection is a bit difficult in desert areas.
But even if secondary oil production is not used, a medium-sized oil field with a reserve of more than 60 million tons can be exploited at least 20 million tons. For example, the crude oil in Oham Oilfield is high-quality lightweight and low-sulfur crude oil, which is about 7.2 barrels per ton. The exploitable volume of these more than 20 million tons is 150 million barrels.
Calculated based on net profit of ten dollars per barrel, this newly discovered reservoir alone can bring Rongbao Mining a net profit of $1.5 billion.
If Yang Jing had turned about half of the heavy oil in the reservoir into mineable light and low-sulfur crude oil by absorbing natural treasure gas, then the two reservoirs combined could provide Rongbao Mining with a minimum of 500 million barrels of mineable reserves - that means that this oil field, which had only spent $47 million, could bring Rongbao Mining with a net profit of at least 5 billion US dollars in the next decade.
As the major shareholder of Rongbao Mining, Yang Jing certainly didn't mind the occurrence of such a good thing. He occupied 40% of the shares in Rongbao Mining. Originally, Yang Jing only had 30%, but in the end he could not resist Guo Dabao, and this proportion was increased to 40%.
40% of the shares means a net profit of $2 billion, plus the revenue of the two oil fields in Beaumont, these three oil fields alone can bring Yang Jing no less than $800 million in net income after tax every year.
Such a good thing will not happen to a fool.
Do it as soon as you say it. After remembering the newly discovered reservoir, Yang Jing began to absorb the natural treasures contained in these two reservoirs.
After trying two oil fields in Beaumont, USA, Yang Jing has vaguely guessed something about the changes in heavy oil in this oil field.
In Yang Jing's guess, heavy oil also contains a large amount of natural treasure qi. This natural treasure qi is a great replenishment for the holy ring, but for those heavy oils that cannot be mined, this natural treasure qi is a shackle that restricts their changes.
Originally, this natural treasure gas and heavy oil were in a state of balance, and no one could do anything to each other. However, once Yang Jing absorbed the natural treasure gas from the heavy oil, the balance would be broken immediately, and the heavy oil would produce a series of chain reactions due to the breaking of this balance.
In the specific manifestation, the heavy oils that were originally unexploited in the reservoir will gradually become exploitable light crude oil. It will not be until this chain reaction reaches a equilibrium state that the heavy oil will stop changing. The final result is that about half of the unexploited heavy oils will become exploitable light crude oil.
Regardless of whether this speculation is right or not, Yang Jing himself believed it.
The amount of natural treasure gas contained in the heavy oil at the bottom of these two reservoirs is very large, and Yang Jing cannot even absorb half of it. The natural treasure gas convergence pool that has been consumed over the past few days has been replenished again.
Of course, this absorption process lasted for seven or eight hours, from around three in the morning until nearly noon.
If Chris and the others hadn't been used to the mysterious performance of their boss, they would have brought a parasol to the boss who was standing in the scorching sun. Just standing in the sun for so long would have made Yang Jing stupid.
Yang Jing, who had successfully supplemented it, almost exhausted when he returned to the house.
"My sister, I will absorb the natural treasures in the oil field next time. I must not do it in such an environment. It's so deadly!" Yang Jing took a luxurious shower and lazily lay in the air-conditioned room, muttering in his mouth.
The fat man just now wanted to tell him the results of the Bolma Police Station's handling of the attack last night this morning, but Yang Jing didn't have the intention to listen, and he could know the result even if he didn't listen.
The Libyans were fully armed and illegally crossing the border, but it was still late at night. What they were going to do was naturally self-evident. With the precedent of attacks by Libyan militants five years ago by the Aminas gas plant, even if you guess, you can guess what the Algerian government's attitude towards this matter.
The oil field has definitely made no mistakes.
China's strong rise in recent years is not a nonsense. China now dares to argue head-on by the United States. What is a mere Algeria? In this regard, the senior government officials in Algiers are all Men Qing'er.
Since the oil field has not received any losses, everything is fine. As for the dead Libyans, they deserve the sin. Their sisters, terrorists still want human rights, so stay wherever they cool! The Sahara does not welcome terrorists.
Seeing Yang Jing feeling depressed and not at all energetic, the fat man was also very sensible and wouldn't say much.
However, Yang Jing is a person with the "feedback" skill after all. After the natural treasure qi that he had just absorbed wandered around his body for a few times, the feeling of being no different from heatstroke disappeared immediately.
"Fatty, according to my observation, I think there should be more than one oil reservoir in this oil field." Yang Jing, who was lying on the bed, shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts, said to the fat man.
The fat man picked up the cup of water and blew it, took a sip of tea before saying, "Is there another reservoir here? I think this is unlikely? I know just that the French have drilled no less than ten survey wells on this land of about 100 square kilometers in the past thirty years. If there were any reservoirs, how could the French not find it?"
"Tsk, the French are so good. They can't find a new reservoir. It doesn't mean we can't find it. For example, according to my observation this morning, I think there should be a reservoir with considerable reserves next to this old oil field. Unfortunately, the French did not find it."
When the fat man heard Yang Jing's affirmation, he immediately became energetic, "Old Yang, are you saying true?"
Yang Jing glanced at the fat man, "Is it true? Isn't it enough to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to dig a well? It's not such a hard time digging a surveying well now."
The fat man rubbed his hands and smiled, "I said Jing Ge, have you seen something with your mysterious big qi-looking technique?"
"I only saw you getting fat again these two days..." Yang Jing smiled and said to the fat man, "Don't ask so many questions. If you know this, just let me tell you. Don't talk nonsense. Fat man, according to what I said, just try digging a survey well. I am also a major shareholder of Rongbao Mining. Can I still joke with a survey well worth hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of them for nothing?"
"Okay, you are the boss. You have the final say. I will arrange workers from China to do this tomorrow."
If climate factors are eliminated, it is actually quite easy to drill oil wells in the Sahara Desert. For example, in the eastern Algeria region, most of the reservoirs here are medium and shallow reservoirs, with a depth of about one thousand meters. Just like the reservoir currently being mined in Oham Oilfield, the depth of the well is only more than one thousand meters. The reservoir Yang Jing just discovered, if the oil well is positioned accurately, only a 900-meter-deep oil well can be successfully mined.
Now with the continuous improvement of drilling technology, drilling oil wells is no longer a difficult task. Oil wells that are tens of thousands of meters deep can be drilled out. As long as the oil wells of only about one thousand meters are smooth, it will only take half a month.
In addition to the surface layer of sand with an average thickness of less than four meters, the Sahara Desert has dried rivers and lithospheres below. The thickness of the sand layer near Borma is slightly thicker, but it is only more than twenty meters. As long as the upper layer is protected when drilling, drilling below is not difficult.
Like Zheng Shuang and the others, the first dozen oil workers brought from China, except for a few of them who were engineers from the refinery, all belonged to the top drilling team. After all, after purchasing the Oham Oilfield from Total, they also took down the survey and mining rights of Total in a radius of more than 400 square kilometers near Borma.
These top domestic survey teams came here to survey this area. Although it is unlikely to discover new reservoirs, they have to survey and survey, right?
Now, with the reservoir that Yang Jing accidentally discovered, these survey workers do not have to go out to survey every day in the dark - there is very little work in the desert area during the day, and most outdoor activities are carried out at night.
In such a ghost place, 365 days a year, there are basically no people outside during the day. No one is willing to work outdoors under the high temperature of more than 40 degrees or even more than 50 degrees. That is not work anymore, it is seeking death!
