Chapter 813 The world's first oil well

In fact, Alec Perov was not surprised or dissatisfied with Yang Jing's almost rude statement.

To be fair, if it were him, he would never reveal the truth.

Moreover, through this conversation tonight, Alec Perov was almost certain that this young man indeed possessed an incredible magical spell, but the limitations of this spell were very large, perhaps the limitations of the spell itself, or the limitations of those old oil wells.

Alec Perov judged that the latter should be more likely. As for the limitations of spells, there are, but they will never cast this spell by consuming their own lifespan as the young man said. Casing this spell should have a certain amount of consumption, but since this spell can be passed on for so long, there will definitely not be too huge consumption. Otherwise, if it is really at the cost of consuming life, then this spell may not have been passed on for so long.

And the most likely are the restrictions of those old oil wells.

As a senior oil man, Alec Perov certainly knew how oil was exploited.

Oil is hidden deep in rock layers of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters underground. According to modern human science and technology, it is impossible to observe the situation of underground oil and gas reservoirs through such a thick rock formation. But no matter what, oil and natural gas are hidden in a closed oil and gas reservoir. Several oil and gas reservoirs gather together to form an oil field.

If a well is drilled down and directly penetrated into the oil and gas reservoir, oil and natural gas will inevitably emerge. But similarly, oil wells do not come one after another like humans line up. There must be gaps between the oil wells and oil wells. Perhaps, between two or more oil wells, there will be a oil and gas reservoir that has never been broken.

And this young man used this spell to find this undiscovered oil and gas reservoir on the ground.

But this possibility is extremely small. After all, every time an oil field is discovered, dozens, hundreds or even thousands of oil wells have to be drilled. Therefore, under the "intensive bombing" of so many oil wells, it is extremely difficult to have missed oil and gas reservoirs.

This is why this young man obviously carries such a magical magic, but in the past two years, he has only found missing oil and gas reservoirs in Beaumont and Oham. Otherwise, so many old oil wells and oil fields around the world would have been monopolized by this young man, and the global oil and gas supply pattern would have been changed by this young man.

But now, the world's oil and gas supply pattern has not changed much. Rongbao Mining, which is a young man, only has two oil fields in its hands.

Moreover, with the continuous development of modern oil production technology, this kind of missing oil and gas reservoir is almost impossible. This situation cannot only occur in relatively ancient oil fields.

As for the more than 600 old oil wells I just sold, although they belong to two oil fields, the possibility of finding missing oil and gas reservoirs is extremely low. Even if there are, the reserves may not be very large. Therefore, I should not lose money in this transaction.

To take a step back, even if Rongbao Mining really finds a new oil and gas reservoir with abundant reserves in these old oil wells, it will not change anything. Unless they find an oil and gas reservoir as large as the Saudi Ghawar Oilfield, is that possible?

You know, the world's largest oil field alone covers an area of ​​more than 3,300 square kilometers, which is half larger than the entire Baku area! How could such a large oil and gas reservoir be hidden near Baku?

As a tycoon-level figure who has experienced decades of ups and downs, Alec Perov analyzed all the "cause and effect" almost instantly. Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with Yang Jing's words.

On the contrary, as the world's second largest private oil company with a share of 1.3% of the world's oil reserves, 5.1% of the world's oil extraction, 36% of the country's oil extraction, 48% of the country's oil processing and smelting, and has a total oil reserve of up to 45.5 billion barrels, Luke Oil still holds many old oil wells in its hands.

If we can have a happy cooperation with Rongbao Mining this time, then the old oil wells in our hands will have hope of finding a way to take over.

Therefore, from the perspective of Alec Perov, he even hopes that this young man can discover new oil and gas reservoirs in those old oil wells. After the first pleasant cooperation, will there be less cooperation in the future?

It was precisely under this mentality that Alecperov was still very thoughtful to treat Yang Jing, at least Yang Jing couldn't find any shortcomings.

Look, the pure Black Sea caviar that is more expensive than gold, is produced in Alba's top white truffle in northwestern Italy's Piedmont region, and the Margot wine airlifted from France... With these top ingredients alone, the cost of this dinner can't be worth $300,000!

There are also those big names to accompany you, and Yang Jing really can't find any shortcomings.

But it doesn't matter. After taking over the Dragon Fund in the future, the oil oligarch will be the worst that he will let the oil oligarch continue to manage Luke Oil for himself.

The meal was so fun that the guests and guests were all happy. After all, they were the richest man in Azerbaijan and the sixth richest man in Russia. Even those big figures in Azerbaijan rarely had such top-notch fresh ingredients.

After the dinner, Yang Jing and Guo Dabao bid farewell to the owner. Although the manor in Alec Perov was big enough, as guests, Yang Jing and Guo Dabao would not live here. There is nothing else, but a commercial rule.

Guo Dabao stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Baku, which is the most luxurious hotel in Baku. Before Yang Jing came, Guo Dabao had already booked a presidential suite and a business suite for Yang Jing. Yang Jing and his group of five could stay.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Alec Perov brought a team of bodyguards and a convoy to the Hilton Hotel to pick up Yang Jing and Guo Dabao. Today, the oil oligarch will take Yang Jing and Guo Dabao to the oil field to take a look.

Guo Dabao had seen the oil field with very dense old oil wells a few days ago. This time, with Alec Perov following him, he would naturally see it in more detail.

The 625 old oil wells purchased by Guo Dabao are located in two different areas, including 402 old oil wells in Surakhany District east of Baku city, and 223 old oil wells in Bibi-Heybat District south of Baku city.

These two regions were the most important oil-producing areas in Baku more than a century ago. At the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the oil production in these two regions accounted for more than 63% of the total oil production of Baku.

This morning, the place where Yang Jing and his group went was Bibi-Heybat District in the south, which also has a very famous name - Bibi District.

After leaving the city of Baku, the convoy drove onto the E60 Highway. After walking six kilometers south along the highway, he arrived at the Bibi District located by the sea.

"Did you see it? Albert, this is the earliest oil-producing area in Baku. The world's first oil well in the modern sense was drilled here." The tall Alec Perov pointed to a peninsula that stretched into the Caspian Sea not far away, and said, "There is a monument there that was built by later generations to commemorate the birth of the world's first oil well."

"The world's first oil well? Isn't that in Titusville, Pennsylvania, the United States?" Yang Jing asked curiously. He still knows some things about oil, such as the world's first oil well, the world's first 10,000-ton well, etc.

Hearing this, Alec Perov smiled, "No, my dear Albert, Edwin Drake, the well that the guy who dug in Titusville, Pennsylvania, was not the first oil well in the world. When Drake dug there it was in 1859, right?"

Yang Jing nodded. He still remembers such a world record very clearly.

"But thirteen years before Drake drilled the oil well, that is, in 1846, an engineer named Aleksiv from Russia, used the original impact drilling machine to drill a 21-meter-deep oil well. That oil well is the real first oil well in the modern sense! The Americans are far behind, thirteen years behind our Russian nation."

Is there anything else? Yang Jing was a little confused. However, looking at Alec Perov's confidence when speaking, he probably said it was true. However, Alexif probably wouldn't hype at that time, so he gave the title of "the world's first oil well driller" to American Edwin Drake.

"Crude oil was started here a long time ago, but the mining methods were very backward at that time. After the Baku Khanate joined the Russian Empire in 1806, until the forty years after Aleksiv dug the first oil well, the oil production here was artificially digging. The oil wells dug were only a few meters deep, with a total of 136 oil wells, and the annual output was only more than 20,000 barrels. These oils were mainly exported to Persia at that time, and used for lighting and ointments and other traditional therapies."

Alec Perov was obviously very familiar with the history here, and he read a lot of allusions at will, as if he was telling his own affairs.

"In that primitive oil production stage, the famous Rothschild family and the Nobel brothers controlled the oil output here. Then, half a century later, in 1871, Grand Duke Ivan Mirzov monopolized the oil here. At that time, the oil workers under the Grand Duke built the world's first wooden derrick that year, and the next year, another wooden derrick was built, and then used a balance arm and a manual pump to drill the original hole. From then on, the oil production industry in Baku really began to develop. At that time, all the oil wells around this area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers were controlled by Grand Duke Mirzov. That was the real oil oligarch. I was far inferior to him..." Alekperov laughed at himself.
