Chapter 808 The World's First Oil Well

In fact, Alekperov was not surprised or dissatisfied with Yang Jing's almost evasive statement.

In all fairness, if it were him, he would never reveal the truth.

Moreover, through the conversation tonight, Alekperov has almost confirmed that this young man does possess an incredible magical spell, but this spell has great limitations, perhaps because of the limitations of the spell itself, Or the limitations of those old oil wells.

Alekperov judged that the latter should be more likely.As for the limitations of spells, there are, but it is definitely not to use one's lifespan to cast such spells as the young man said.Casting this kind of spell should consume a certain amount, but since this kind of spell can be passed on for so long, it must not consume too much.Otherwise, if it was really at the cost of consuming life, then this spell might not have been passed on for so long.

And most likely the constraints of those old oil wells.

As a senior oilman, Alekperov certainly knows how oil is extracted.

Oil is hidden in rock formations hundreds of meters, thousands of meters or even tens of thousands of meters underground. In terms of modern human science and technology, it is impossible to observe underground oil and gas reservoirs through such thick rock formations.But in any case, oil and natural gas are hidden in a closed oil and gas reservoir, and several oil and gas reservoirs gather together to form an oil field.

When a well is drilled and directly drilled into the oil and gas reservoir, there will inevitably be oil and natural gas emerging.But again, oil wells do not come one after the other like humans line up, and there must be gaps between oil wells.Perhaps, between two or more oil wells, there will be an oil and gas reservoir that has never been broken.

And when this young man casts this spell, he can find this kind of undiscovered oil and gas reservoirs 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 must be drilled. Therefore, under the "intensive bombing" of so many oil wells, it is extremely difficult There are missing oil and gas reservoirs.

That's why this young man clearly bears such magical spells, but in the past two years, he has only found the missing oil and gas reservoirs in two places, Beaumont and O'Ham.Otherwise, so many old oil wells and old oil fields in the world have long been monopolized by this young man, and the global oil and gas supply pattern will also be changed by this young man.

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

Moreover, with the continuous development of modern oil recovery technology, it is almost impossible for such a situation of missing oil and gas reservoirs to occur, and it is only possible for such a situation to occur in relatively old oil fields.

As for the more than 600 old oil wells that I just sold, although they belong to two oil fields, the possibility of finding the missing oil and gas reservoirs in them is extremely low.Even if there is, I am afraid that the reserves will not be so large.Therefore, I should not lose money on this deal.

Taking a step back, even if Rongbao Mining really found a new oil and gas reservoir with abundant reserves in these old oil wells, it would not change anything.Unless they find a reservoir as large as Saudi Garhwal, but is that possible?

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

As a tycoon-level figure who has experienced ups and downs for decades, Alekperov analyzed all the "causes and effects" almost instantly.Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with Yang Jing's remarks.

On the contrary, as a company that accounts for 1.3% of the world's oil reserves, 5.1% of the world's oil extraction, 36% of Russia's oil extraction, and 48% of Russia's oil processing and smelting, it has the world's second largest private oil company with a total oil reserve of 455 billion barrels. For oil companies, Lukoil still has a lot of old oil wells in its hands.

If he can cooperate happily with Rongbao Mining this time, then there is hope that those old oil wells in his hands can be found to take over.

Therefore, from Alekperov's point of view, he even hopes that this young man can discover new oil and gas reservoirs in those old oil wells, so that after the first happy cooperation, the next cooperation will continue. less?
It was in this state of mind that Alekperov treated Yang Jing very thoughtfully, at least Yang Jing couldn't find any shortcomings.

Look, the pure black sea caviar, which is worth more than gold, the top white truffles from Alba in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy, and the Chateau Margaux red wine flown in from France are just these top ingredients. It will cost less than $30!
With those great people as companions, Yang Jing really couldn't fault it.

But it doesn't matter, after he takes over the Dragon Fund, the big deal is to let this oil oligarch continue to manage Lukoil for himself.

A meal is a feast for the host and guests. After all, it is a banquet hosted by the richest man in Azerbaijan and the sixth richest man in Russia. Even the big shots in Azerbaijan may rarely eat such top-quality and fresh ingredients.

After the dinner, Yang Jing and Guo Dabao bid farewell to the host here. Although Alekperov's manor is big enough, as guests, Yang Jing and Guo Dabao will not live here. For anything else, it's a business rule.

Guo Dabao is staying at the Baku Hilton Hotel, which is the most luxurious hotel in Baku. Before Yang Jing came, Guo Dabao had reserved a presidential suite and a business suite for Yang Jing. can live.

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Alekperov brought a group of bodyguards and a motorcade 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 have a look .

Guo Dabao had seen the densely populated oil field with old oil wells a few days ago. This time, with Alekperov personally following him, he would naturally look at it in more detail.

The 625 old oil wells purchased by Guo Dabao are located in two different areas. Among them, there are 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 areas were the most important oil producing areas in Baku more than a century ago. At the end of the 63th century and the beginning of the [-]th century, the oil production in these two areas accounted for [-]% of the oil production in Baku. above.

The place where Yang Jing and his group went this morning is the Bibi-Heybat district in the south. This district also has a very famous name——Bibi District.

After leaving the city of Baku, the convoy drove onto the E60 road, and after walking six kilometers south along the road, they came to the Bibi district by the sea.

"See, Albert, this is the earliest oil-producing area in Baku, and the world's first oil well in the modern sense was drilled here." The tall Alekperov pointed A peninsula protruding into the Caspian Sea in the distance said, "There is a monument there, which was built by later generations to commemorate the birth of the world's first oil well here."

"The world's first oil well? Isn't that in Titusville, Pennsylvania, USA?" Yang Jing asked curiously. He still knows something about oil, such as the world's first oil well, the world's No. A [-]-ton well and so on.

Hearing this, Alek Perov laughed, "No, my dear Albert, that well that Edwin Drake dude drilled in Titusville, Pennsylvania is not the world's First oil well. It was 1859 when Drake drilled there, right?"

Yang Jing nodded. He still remembers such world records clearly.

"However, 13 years before Drake drilled the oil well, that is, in 1846, a Russian engineer named Alexif used the original percussion drilling machine at the place where the monument was erected in front of him. , A 21-meter-deep oil well was drilled. That oil well is the real first oil well in the modern sense! The Americans are far behind, 13 years behind our Russian nation.”

And this thing?Yang Jing was a little confused.But looking at Alekperov's confidence when speaking, it is estimated that what he said is true.It's just that this Aleksif guessed that he would not hype at the time, so he gave up the title of "the world's first oil well driller" to American Edwin Drake.

"Crude oil has been exploited here a long time ago, but the exploitation methods at that time were very backward. After the Baku Khanate joined the Russian Empire in 1806, it continued until the 40 years since Alexif drilled the first oil well. During the period of time, the means of oil production here was to dig wells manually. At that time, the oil wells dug were only a few meters deep, there were only 136 oil wells, and the annual output was only more than 2 barrels. The oil was mainly exported to Persia at that time, where For lighting as well as the use of salves and other traditional remedies."

Alekperov is obviously very familiar with the history here, and has many allusions at his fingertips, as if he was telling his own affairs.

"At the stage of primitive oil extraction, the famous Rothschild family and the Nobel brothers controlled the oil production here. Then, half a century later, in 1871, Grand Duke Ivan Mirtsov monopolized the oil here. Oil workers under the Grand Duke at the time built the world's first wooden derrick that year, and another the following year, before carrying out primitive drilling with a balance arm and a hand pump. Since then, Baku China’s oil production industry really began to develop. At that time, the oil wells with an area of ​​several hundred square kilometers around here were all controlled by the Grand Duke Mirzov, who was the real oil oligarchy, and I was far behind him.” Alexei laughed to himself.
