Chapter 816 Best of both worlds
These 223 old oil wells in the Bibi-Heybat oil field are distributed in an area of about five square kilometers, with an average number of oil wells per square kilometer. This density is not small, but a century ago, the density of such oil wells was common.
At that time, the oil production technology was still very backward, and the diameter of the oil pipe was relatively small, so it was very common to increase the number of oil wells to exchange for oil output.
If we were in modern times, there would be few oil wells of such a large density, especially those super giant oil fields. If you dig a well, it would be a 10,000 tons of self-blasting wells, and there would be no need to drill too many wells to increase oil production.
The entire Bibi-Heybat oil field has an area of more than 20 square kilometers. The more than 200 old oil wells belonging to Luke Petroleum Company occupy about a quarter of the entire Bibi-Heybat oil field. However, these more than 200 old oil wells are relatively concentrated, and it is obvious that they share one or several oil and gas reservoirs.
Among these more than 200 old oil wells, there are still 17 oil wells that still produce oil, but the total output of these 17 oil wells is less than 100 barrels per day, and they are already on the verge of sealing.
These seventeen oil wells are still scattered in relatively evenly, almost evenly in these five square kilometers of oil fields. This is good news for Yang Jing. At least, there is no need to find many tools to get in touch with the heavy oil in the oil and gas reservoir below, just like in Beaumont.
These oil wells that still produce oil allow Yang Jing to easily contact the crude oil produced through the oil outlet valve. Then he only needs to have a thought to "see" the situation of the oil reservoir below.
However, this kind of work cannot be done in broad daylight, so Yang Jing decided to act alone in the middle of the night.
Chris and the four bodyguards who followed Yang Jing at the earliest have experienced this behavior of working in the middle of the night, so this time it is not surprising. He skillfully told Morris and the eight of them to be on the outside, and they must not disturb the boss when they work.
Morris and the others had never experienced such things, so they could only act as a warning from a distance according to Chris' arrangement. Of course, Chris and the others were also acting as a warning from the perimeter hundreds of meters away from Yang Jing.
Yang Jing unscrewed the oil-output valve, and a small stream of warm crude oil sprayed out from the valve, but the force was not strong. Yang Jing only needed to touch the left hand to the crude oil. The next moment, the situation of the reservoir below appeared in Yang Jing's consciousness.
After a while, Yang Jing shook his head slightly and gave up this old oil well.
This old oil well shares the reservoir below with dozens of other old oil wells, but the reservoir is not large, which has a reserve of about 200 million barrels.
Perhaps because of his mentality, Yang Jing was really not interested in this reservoir with a reserve of only 200 million barrels. With a reserve of 200 million barrels, about 65 million barrels have been mined. If the treasure gas is absorbed and "purified" the remaining heavy oil, at most, it can produce another 65 million barrels, which is less than 10 million tons of light oil.
It's boring, there's too little meat, so I can't get interested.
The reservoir below this old oil well does not meet the conditions, so change it.
Contacted Chris and the others through the walkie-talkie. Yang Jing got into the car and drove to the old oil well that was still in the oil supply.
After all night, Yang Jing was a little speechless.
Bibi-Heybat Oilfield is a large oilfield with a reserve of up to 3.7 billion barrels, but after a night of survey, Yang Jing discovered that the Bibi-Heybat Oilfield was too "fragmented".
In theory, a large oil field with a reserve of more than 500 million tons, a mining reserve of more than 100 million tons, and a concentrated area, the underground reservoir should be very large. If it is normal, there will be at most two or three reservoirs under these 20 square kilometers of ground, and it is not rare to even one reservoir.
But under this land, small reservoirs are like grapes, densely packed together, forming such a large oil field.
The holy ring can "purify" the remaining heavy oil by absorbing the treasure energy contained in the heavy oil, but there is a prerequisite, that is, it can only purify the heavy oil in one reservoir at a time.
Although Yang Jing had worked harder and could purify all the heavy oil in these underground "grape" reservoirs, if he really wanted to do that, the secret of the Holy Ring would definitely not be kept!
Therefore, even if Yang Jing wants to "purify" a certain reservoir, the reservoir must meet the conditions for being "purified", that is, it is large enough and there is enough heavy oil left in it, so that it is worth Yang Jing's operation.
But it is obvious that these "grape" reservoirs under the Bibi-Heybat oil field do not meet Yang Jing's requirements.
"Boss, have you not found a new reservoir?" Chris was already very familiar with his boss. Seeing that his boss's face was not very good, he guessed that the boss's work seemed to be not going well that night.
Yang Jing nodded, "When I was observing the high place on the TV tower during the day yesterday, I felt that the situation here was not very good. Last night I searched for a night and did not find any new reservoirs. Let's go back to rest, and we will go to the Surakhany oil field to check out."
Clark, who was standing by, heard this and hesitated and said, "Boss, if no new reservoir is found here, then the $110 million spent by Boss Guo will be wasted more than 30 million?"
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile, "Now, the more than 30 million US dollars are likely to be wasted. But let's go to the Surakhany Oilfield first, maybe we can get the more than 30 million US dollars there? Besides, I only found more than 20 of these more than 200 old oil wells, and there are still more than 200 old oil wells. Who can tell whether the remaining old oil wells are alive again?"
"Well, I believe you will definitely be able to find a new reservoir, boss." Clark nodded heavily and encouraged the boss with his actions.
The first time he went to the army did not dispel everyone's enthusiasm, especially these bodyguards. Now, looking at the boss Yang Jing, he has already used his eyes to look at gods. In the past two years with Yang Jing, they have witnessed too many of the boss's magical features. It seems that there is nothing in the world that can stump the boss.
Therefore, this small defeat is nothing, and the boss will definitely find a target in the next oil field.
Chris and their confidence was really wrong. During the operation the next night, Yang Jing found a reservoir worth taking action in the Surakhany oil field.
The 402 old oil wells purchased by Rongbao Mining are distributed in the south of the Surakhany Oilfield, covering an area of about 15 square kilometers. However, just below the 15 square kilometers of land, Yang Jing discovered only three reservoirs, one of which is particularly large in size. More than 200 old oil wells were gathered above this reservoir alone.
Yang Jing alone has an estimated oil storage capacity of 2 billion barrels. Including the approximately 700 million barrels of crude oil produced, the remaining heavy oil is 1.3 billion barrels of crude oil. As long as the reservoir is "purified", at least about 100 million tons of exploitable crude oil can be obtained.
This quantity is much stronger than the small "grapes" in Bibi-Heybat Oilfield. If the reservoirs below Bibi-Heybat Oilfield are "grapes", then the reservoir found in Surakhany Oilfield can definitely be called "watermelon".
The most important thing is that, next to this "watermelon", although the two reservoirs are a little smaller, they can definitely be called "melons" and have more purification value than those "grapes".
Even if you purify the "watermelon", you can eventually mine nearly 100 million tons of crude oil, which is 700 million barrels. According to the current international crude oil price of fifty dollars, the value of this "watermelon" is about 35 billion US dollars!
Of course, there are still mining costs for crude oil, but no matter how you calculate it, the mining cost of this "watermelon" cannot be achieved. In other words, this "watermelon" is definitely a big deal!
Of course, such a large "watermelon" contains huge treasure energy, and it is possible to use these huge amounts of treasure energy to repair the imperial seal of the square.
Yang Jing didn't know how much treasure energy it would cost to repair the imperial seal, but it was absolutely indispensable. The most important thing is that if you want to completely repair the imperial seal, you still need a huge amount of public opinion.
The public opinion energy is more advanced than the treasure energy, and it is only contained in super-grade items. Yang Jing has only found a super-grade item like the National Jade Seal. Although there are quite a lot of public opinion energy absorbed from it, it is used to upgrade the holy ring and recognize the master, and it cannot support the "repair" skill to repair the National Jade Seal.
Fortunately, the Holy Ring also reminds that the imperial seal can be completely repaired without the public opinion. If Yang Jing wants to restore the imperial seal to the state before the jade seal was burned, then only a huge amount of precious energy is needed.
Even the holy rings say the word "huge amount". Who knows how much treasure energy it takes to repair this imperial seal.
Although the storage space of the holy ring stores a lot of gems containing rich natural treasures and various antiques with human treasures, Yang Jing has never made up his mind to repair the imperial seal.
There is now an oil field containing a huge amount of natural treasure gas, which can be used to repair the imperial seal with the natural treasure gas contained in this oil field. Even if the natural treasure gas contained in this oil field is not enough to repair the imperial seal, then the treasures stored in the space should be enough.
So Yang Jing quickly made up his mind to use this oil field to repair the imperial seal. Of course, by the way, "purifying" the remaining heavy oil in this oil field can also create huge benefits for Rongbao Mining.
