Xinyi oil field is located in the outer mouth of Bohai Bay. The preliminary exploration work was completed by the exploration team * * under CNOOC. In 1994, the United States Shaw conn oil company was invited to jointly explore the oil and gas resources in this sea area. Up to now, the exploration results show that the oil reserves of Xinyi oil field are close to 500 million barrels, which is a major discovery in the history of offshore oil exploration.
CNOOC has put its oil exploration, development, production and sales business into the company to be listed. The recoverable oil reserves of the company to be listed are only 1.8 billion barrels. It can be seen that the packaged oil field with 500 million barrels of reserves is a fairly good figure.
However, there is a big gap between the existing data and Zhang Ke''s impression in his memory. No matter how scarce Zhang Ke''s oil knowledge is, he also knows that Xinyi oilfield is the second largest packaged offshore oilfield in China after onshore Daqing Oilfield. By 2008, the proven savings exceeded 1 billion tons, that is, more than 7 billion barrels, four times the oil reserves of CNOOC''s proposed listed company.
Scale is the most important competitiveness of oil companies. Scale includes the scale of exploitation, production and sales, as well as the scale of oil reserves. If the oil reserves of CNOOC''s proposed listed company increase from 1.8 billion barrels to 9 billion barrels, the potential value will definitely more than double.
Xinyi oilfield can fully form an annual production scale of 100 million barrels of crude oil. Not to mention that the international crude oil price will soar in the future, even based on the international crude oil price in 1999, it can increase the sales revenue of 2.2 billion US dollars for the company to be listed. Imagine that when the international crude oil price soars to more than US $100 per barrel, Xinyi oilstone alone can provide at least US $10 billion in sales revenue and more than US $6 billion in profits for the company to be listed every year. At that time, how high will the share price of the listed company soar?
However, according to Zhang Ke''s understanding of the securities market, CNOOC''s share price did not rise miraculously, that is, Xinyi oilfield failed to make due contributions to the profits of the listed company. Although there is a process of geological exploration and discovery, the early exploration area is limited and the technical measures are limited, and the estimation of oilfield reserves is much more conservative, with the continuous deepening of exploration work, it is found that the increase of oilfield reserves is also a normal phenomenon, However, all kinds of things are related to the US shawkon oil company, a partner of CNOOC - Zhang Ke always likes to maliciously speculate on others - so he can''t help thinking about the bad.
Zhang Ke frowned and looked through the data brought by Zhai Danqing. Although there were many doubts, the existing data could not provide them with more information.
"Is there any other information?" Zhang Ke asked.
"For more detailed information, you can only look for CNOOC to see the internal information." Zhai Danqing said, "I inquired. CNOOC is talking with Xiao Kangen about the cooperative exploitation of oilfield resources in this sea area. The negotiation involves the cooperation between China and the United States in the field of offshore oil exploitation. The confidentiality of the negotiation data is relatively high." Zhai Danqing knew that it was not impossible for Jinhu to read these materials, but he didn''t know whether it was necessary to make such a big fight.
"You put me through to Liu Chengwei and I''ll see him right away." Zhang Ke said decisively.
In 1998 and 1999, the domestic import of crude oil was only 280 million barrels. All the doubts in this matter point to the super large oil field that may produce 100 million barrels of crude oil per year. Let alone disturb Liu Chengwei, it is worth disturbing Vice Premier Zeng Rusheng and Premier Zhao Jidong.
Tang Jing then came out with a bath towel wrapped in her bath and saw Zhang Ke looking solemnly at the materials spread all over the table. Zhai Danqing stood in front of the window and called. She also knew that something was really wrong. She went into the bedroom and changed her clothes.
Liu Chengwei and others had just arrived at the dormitory of CNOOC office. They suddenly received a phone call saying that there was something urgent to discuss. They didn''t know what happened. They had to go downstairs and take a bus to the peninsula hotel. Sun Shangyi and ye Jianbin have just returned to their homes. After receiving an emergency notice from here, they all rushed over.
When Liu Chengwei and others arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, it was late at night and went directly to the luxury suite where Zhang Ke stayed to discuss things. The rain stopped, the window was blue at night, and the lamp belt on the beach in the distance was like a bright and charming flash necklace.
"According to some information provided by Jinhu overseas companies, Jinhu Economic Research Center conducted a dragnet investigation on the organizations hiding behind the scenes that released negative news against CNOOC''s listing and financing. In addition to Mitsui products, these Japanese consortia were the forces we expected before, it also found a special organization," Zhang Ke sent a fax from Cui Guoheng to Liu Chengwei According to Ye Jianbin and sun Shangyi, "this Petroleum Economics Research Institute named lofelice is actually controlled by American shaikon oil company. As one of the main partners of CNOOC and one of the main forces in the field of Sino US offshore oil cooperation, why does shaikon oil company prevent CNOOC from listing and financing?"
Zhang Ke looks at Liu Chengwei. If Liu Chengwei can''t tell him the answer, he can only remind the central government through other channels to be careful of all cooperation with Xiao Kangen oil company in the field of offshore oil exploration and exploitation.
Liu Chengwei took the fax and frowned. Such obvious doubts can not be ignored. In addition, CNOOC placed its oil exploration, development, production and sales business into the company to be listed. The cooperation with Xiao Kangen oil company in the field of exploration and production belongs to the business scope of the company to be listed. Jinhu is qualified to question such obvious doubts.
Liu Chengwei handed the fax to Xie Lei, assistant and chief financial officer of the company to be listed.
Xie Lei hesitated and said: "the negotiation materials with Xiao Kangen oil company do not belong to the scope of public announcement..."
Zhang Ke didn''t say anything. Liu Chengwei said to Xie Lei, "go and get the information and I''ll report to Secretary Xiao Yucheng." he knew that many state secrets were not secrets for Jinhu. Now they can use state secrets as an excuse to evade Jinhu''s inquiry, and Jinhu can also recover its previous financial investment commitments, Besides, he himself has strong doubts about these small moves behind shaikon oil company.
Xie Lei returned to the office by car to get the information. Liu Chengwei and Zhang Ke asked for a * * room to report the latest situation to the Secretary of the Party group of CNOOC.
Xie Lei returned after half an hour. Liu Chengwei''s telephone report took a long time. Zhang Ke believes that Liu Chengwei and members of the CNOOC Party group should also be able to vaguely guess what went wrong. After all, the cooperation area with Xiao Kangen oil company is also limited. At this time, such a big doubt arises. If the management can''t analyze what went wrong, it''s dereliction of duty.
When Liu Chengwei came out of the room, Xie Lei took a document and showed it to him. Liu Chengwei turned a few pages and squeezed his eyebrows. After a while, he handed the document to Zhang Ke, ye Jianbin and sun Shangyi and said, "this is the minutes of the meeting between CNOOC and Xiao Kangen oil company on the development of Xinyi oilfield..."
Zhang Ke sat on the sofa and looked at the meeting minutes. The initially proved reserves of Xinyi packaged oil field are 500 million barrels, and China''s dependence on overseas crude oil imports is increasing. CNOOC plans to focus on cooperating with Xiao Kangen oil company to develop this oil field located at the Haikou outside the Bohai Bay in the next step. According to the meeting minutes and a series of negotiation memoranda, Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company proposed that in order to alleviate the pressure of CNOOC''s development funds, it could fully invest and operate independently in exchange for 49% of the oil extracted by the cooperative project. The meeting minutes further stated that it would further explore and discover oil resources in Xinyi oil field, It will also carry out cooperative development based on the first cooperation outline. In the minutes of the talks, the Chinese negotiators also proposed that Xinyi oilfield is located in a shallow sea area with a depth of less than 100m, and the recoverable rate is much higher than that of ordinary offshore oil exploitation. CNOOC''s technology is fully capable of * * exploitation.
If offshore oil fields with such an important position lack development funds (initial development funds are also very limited) because of CNOOC, they will account for nearly half of the rights and interests of Shaw conn oil company. When the domestic dependence on overseas crude oil imports exceeds 60% and the annual import of crude oil exceeds 1 billion barrels, I''m afraid the central high-level will even cry, Moreover, the geological exploration of the sea area was mainly completed by China in the early stage - no wonder Xiao Kangen oil company would be so enthusiastic to prevent CNOOC''s overseas listed companies.
The oil reserves of more than 7 billion barrels, according to the international crude oil price plan in 1999, according to the collection rate of 60% mentioned in the minutes of the talks, the potential total value is also $90 billion. Shaw conn oil company wants to swallow nearly half of its rights and interests in one bite.
Zhang Ke really has nothing to say about Xiao kang''en oil company''s greed of eating people without spitting bones. He will show the minutes to Ye Jianbin and sun Shangyi. After a while, he asked Liu Chengwei: "what do you think of this? What is CNOOC''s internal view on the prospective reserves of Xinyi oilfield?"
"The exploration work of Xinyi oilfield was carried out by CNOOC''s offshore exploration company in the early stage. At that time, CNOOC was optimistic about the oil reserve estimation of Xinyi oilfield, with the highest estimation of 300 million tons and 2.2 billion barrels. At that time, CNOOC lacked technical means for further exploration. In 1994, CNOOC cooperated with Xiao Kangen oil company to carry out further exploration work in this sea area. Xiao Kangen The exploration report given by the oil company at the beginning of this year gave a preliminary conclusion of 500 million barrels of proved reserves and 1.5 billion barrels of prospective reserves. The energy department of the planning and Development Commission proposed not to place too high expectations on a single oil field, but to conduct more extensive cooperation between China and the United States in the field of exploration and production - the scheme proposed by Xiao Kangen oil company is also a scheme that the head office tends to accept I''m talking about the conditions of tax preference, "Liu Chengwei said.
Zhang Ke slightly pursed his mouth and asked again; "Now?"
"Xiao kang''en Petroleum Company may have made false exploration data." Liu Chengwei hesitated and said this terrible guess.
