Chapter five hundred and fifty fifth truth(1/2)
"Mr. Su predicts how much water content in the oil well will drop?" Dukat's expression was extremely serious, and his fingers were holding the stick, and his pinched it turned white. Not to mention anything else, the technology currently shown by Dahua Industrial is enough to pay attention to it.
The others also had an ordinary look, listening to Su Cheng's answer with their ears.
Su Cheng smiled un modestly and said in English: "For this oil well, I think it's okay to drop a few more points."
When denoting quantity, he uses "a few" to represent a small amount. However, when describing apples with a small amount, it doesn’t matter if everyone wants to describe it. If the moisture content is described in a small amount, everyone will go crazy.
The decline of three points can also be said to be a "small amount", and the same is true for 10 points. But as for the current drop of moisture content by one point and the oil production increased by 163 tons, if the decline of another 3 points, the oil production will increase by 50%!
What is this concept? It means that oil fields that have entered the late stage of mining can immediately return to their prime.
This means that the oil field with an annual output of 500,000 barrels can increase its output to 750,000 barrels!
In terms of profit, it is not simply a 50% increase.
With the oil field maintained in 1993, the 500,000 barrels of oil field will achieve a profit of 700,000 barrels. Under the average management level, the profit will not reach 30%. In other words, the old oil field has paid off the previous development, so that it can continue to be exploited at such a profit margin.
However, if such oil fields increase production, they will not increase the maintenance of the oil fields. Whether it is pipelines, labor, or equipment maintenance, there will be no significant increase. What is increased is nothing more than the three oil production and the oil concession. In those oil fields obtained before the 1980s, oil concessions are even fixed.
In this way, the 50% increase in gross profit may lead to a 50% or even 100% increase in actual profit.
In a large oil field with an annual output of 1 million barrels or even 5 million barrels, the total value of profit increases is quite considerable.
More importantly, in the view of Ducat and others, the green curve displayed on the computer screen still has great potential.
The moisture content may be reduced by more than 3 points.
Such technology has extraordinary significance for large oil companies that have lasted for half a century.
It is like a rejuvenation in the old oil field.
If the coverage is wide enough, these three oil production techniques will be equivalent to the magic pill of the old oil fields.
Ducart was also a little sorry for his technical department. His technical department invested millions of pounds a year on three oil production technology. Why didn't there be such obvious results?
But he didn't know how much Su Cheng had invested in three oil production technologies and how many Chinese oil researchers were working hard here.
Among the people present, only Lin Yonggui was calm.
As early as 1988, he had been exposed to the three oil production technology of Dahua Industrial. At that time, Dahua Industrial still used 3087 polyacrylamide. By imitating foreign technology, it raised the waste oil field from 05 tons per day to 4 tons per day, reflecting a certain value. In fact, Dahua Industrial at that time also sold more than 60 units of polymer flooding equipment to China, with a total contract amount of more than 60 million yuan.
In addition, Halliburton also paid millions of dollars to purchase the use of Dahua technology for ten years.
At that time, Lin Yonggui really thought it was very powerful.
However, China's technological development has always been phased. Generally speaking, the so-called "phase results" means to achieve "phase results". It means: it is difficult to do later, so let's copy a new foreign technology.
3086 polyacrylamide body is a repetition of foreign technological achievements. Although Dahua's polymer flooding equipment has reached the "international advanced" level, if it does not have a low-cost factor, it will not be able to sell that big contract.
And it is not ordinary difficult to "attain the international advanced level" and then go down.
The roads that predecessors have walked, even if they are rugged paths, they should be careful at most and work harder. The roads that predecessors have walked are adventures, which will cost more money, get less results, and may even kill people.
Based on his own experience, Dahua Industrial has done the most in the five years from 1988 to 1993, probably the tracking and research. Otherwise, why wait for five years to produce the technology of three oil production?
Maybe, when foreign research makes progress, we will seize the time difference and develop an internationally leading technology.
He has seen such a thing before.
Researchers who can do a good job in tracking research can be called a big shot when a foreign project is invested by hundreds of millions of dollars and a domestic project is invested by tens of millions of millions of yuan.
This is equivalent to using RMB 500 to copy the phone with RMB 500. Not only is the same function, but the launch time is almost the same. Such a character can be considered a big shot.
However, Lin Yonggui is no longer interested in the technology of changing 05 tons to 4 tons.
After all, China was extremely eager for foreign exchange in 1988. It was a barrel of crude oil that could export foreign exchange earnings, and it was not even considered as a problem, especially the RMB, which was completely ignored.
But by 1993, the situation was different.
China is already a net importer of crude oil, and oil is no longer a foreign exchange-making product, but a commodity. At this time, it is a problem to consider.
0.5 tons become 4 tons, or 05 tons become 8 tons, which cannot cover up the low value of waste oil wells. Shengli Oilfield has begun to abandon oil wells below 3 tons, because the power consumption of the kowtower alone makes the oilfield unable to bear it.
Of course it would be better to turn 32 tons into 50 tons, but Lin Yonggui "knows that" the data on the computer might have been made by Zhang Yuming, so he lacked interest.
What Lin Yonggui is now considering how to help Su Cheng continue to make a lie.
This kind of thing is not difficult. Some Chinese research institutions claim to have developed world-leading technologies. But if you study them deeply, many technologies will remain on paper, or in other words, on days of large-scale reports.
After finishing the results report and using advanced professional title evaluation, many world-leading technologies will no longer be mentioned.
If we look at the technical indicators reported by the media, China's 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s could surpass Europe and the United States dozens of times, and the research institutes in the 1990s would be even more chaotic. If we included strong men like Qigong masters, China should have surpassed aliens long ago.
First let the three oil production techniques blind people, and then bury them quietly, as far as Lin Yonggui is concerned, it is normal.
Because of this, he admires Zhang Yuming's "real" skills more.
This is also the norm for Chinese people. The more familiar people are, the more likely they are to doubt their excellence... Lin Yonggui thinks that the three oil production projects that Dahua Industrial once won the order of RMB 60 million, Lin Yonggui can understand. This time the three oil production technology exceeds his understanding.
Ducart and others don’t care who made three oil production technologies. Whether it’s made by Dahua or Halliburton, as long as it’s profitable, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little more money to buy it. The 10 largest oil companies in the world are used to pay technology transfer fees every year. It’s far more than the market value of Dahua Industrial.
These wealthy elephants only care about what can increase their wealth and power.
When the moisture content dropped from 59% to 57%, everyone was excited.
"It has dropped by 8%." This is an important number. Because fracturing operations are physical, there will be changes for different terrain and landforms. It has not been fully confirmed. Polymer flooding is different. This chemical oil flooding method has been studied by various countries for 20 or 30 years, and is limited by the game of summation and effect. It has never been applied on a large scale. However, in the laboratory, a water content decrease of 8% is recognized as a good number. It is a number that can definitely produce benefits.
A group of European and Americans squeezed towards the screen despite the smell of sweat on others.
Shigeru Nishioka is a sturdy and short traditional Japanese body. Although he can't squeeze in, the crowded heads still deprived him of the freedom to see the curve at the first time. He simply retreated from the scramble, found Su Cheng, and whispered: "Dr. Su, do you have time? Let's talk?"
"Wait for another hour, I can't be busy now." Sucheng did not discriminate clearly, but did not take Shigeru Nishioka seriously. Nishioka International Oil Development Co., Ltd. is indeed a company that is qualified to bid for oil fields, but the reason why it is not a giant elephant is that although it is qualified to participate in the bidding, it cannot kick other companies out of the bidding as it pleases.
Large companies that cannot control other companies are just large companies. Even if they make the same profit, they cannot be called giants.
Shigeru Nishioka was away, but he was familiar with other people's indifference and said without thinking: "I just have some techniques for three oil extractions, and I want to talk to you."
He hopes that Siucheng is a technical leader.
However, Su Cheng was not, and he ignored him.
Shigeru Nishioka gritted his teeth and said riskily: "I have a way to make Dahua's three-time oil production technology sell at a better price. Do you want to sell technology when you conduct public exhibitions like this?"
"Um?"
"These big companies eat meat and don't spit bones. In the 1970s and 1980s, Japanese companies were cheated by them a lot. I have an idea to let you avoid these." Shigeru Nishioka was full of emotion and was very contagious.
Su Cheng finally raised his eyelids and asked him, "What's the idea?"
"You split the three-time oil production technology into separate patents, so that each company can choose to buy it at will. Although it will not sell all patent usage rights at one time like a packaged patent, if the price is reasonable, you will definitely make more money." Shigeru Nishioka also made a temporary decision, but he still mentioned a pricing strategy commonly used by a Japanese company. Using this method can indeed increase the price of the product. Of course, it is under the premise of fixing the product.
Su Cheng didn't say anything, and the little fat behind him couldn't see it and said, "You said it was divided into separate patents. Do you know how many patents are available for three oil production?"
"How many?" Shigeru Nishioka asked immediately.
Xiaopang smiled and said, "I don't know either, there are so many."
When Su Cheng heard what he said was unreliable, he glanced at him angrily and said, "There are more than 600 patents for polymer dispersion devices, and the total number of patents exceeds 3,000."
As early as 1988, Dahua Industry made more than 400 patents in this regard, and now it is just expanding the patent barriers.
Of course, it is not comparable to the patents that are tens of thousands of dollars from some foreign companies, but it is also an insurable technology castle.
Shigeru Nishioka was a little unbelievable and murmured: "I haven't heard that Chinese companies have so many patents."
Before he could finish his words, a burst of fierce applause covered the surrounding environment.
"The moisture content has been reduced to 55%. It has been reduced by 10%, and it is still decreasing." Frenchman Gilles read out the numbers on the screen with his unique mage vibrato, very enthusiastic.
Shigeru Nishioka's eyes suddenly widened, unable to resist his temper, and said to Su Cheng again: "Dr. Su, our inpex can do patent splitting and patent pricing for you, free of charge. There are 3,000 patents, we can definitely find a way to make the transfer fee exceed 10 million US dollars."
Free stuff is always attractive. If Shigeru Nishioka was not a Japanese man, Suichi might have thought for two seconds before rejecting it. As for now, he just shook his head and said, "Wait and talk about it."
"The moisture content is 54%." After a while, the applause reappeared again, in the eyes of industry insiders. The green curve on the computer is like a wonderful drama.
In fact, this is much more important than the episode.
Shigezi Nishioka looked at Su Cheng with anticipation and said, "Dr. Su, it's better to prepare the pricing work a little in advance. Please give it to Inpex. I'm sure to make your company's technology transfer fee exceed 12 million US dollars!"
“Wait a little longer.”
"What about $13 million? There will be many companies that want your company's technology. If you hand over the pricing work to us, I will definitely discuss a $13 million transfer fee."
"Wait a little more." Sucheng left Shigeru Nishioka a little hope.
The moisture content has been declining.
“53%.”
“52%.
Shigeru Nishioka finally couldn't help it and asked: "Chairman Sucheng, how much is the technology transfer fee you expect?"
"I'm afraid, it's a little more than you thought." Su Cheng ignored him and stood on the other side.
Shigeru Nishioka thought suspiciously.
Lin Yonggui trembled when he heard this and thought to himself: Don’t play with it.
Two hours later, Shamingyin announced that the final average water content of the experimental well was 51%, a decrease of 14 percentage points.
Dukat, Gilles and others cheered.
Lin Yonggui stroked his beard and smiled.
