CNOOC is the most technologically-rich company among the three barrels of oil. Since its business is limited to offshore oil, reality forces them to strengthen their technical strength. However, CNOOC was only established for 12 years in 1994. Apart from some political products, they did not accumulate much technology at all.

It is the technology introduced, and it is very difficult to understand it. With foreign experience, it takes at least four or five years for a technician who is just starting to get involved in marine oil equipment to complete all the courses equivalent to master's and doctoral students in order to have the foundation of being a research assistant. In 1982, it is not easy to find a technician with an undergraduate level.

Although the business people in this era are very hardworking, the seventy or eighty years of Chinese education can be regarded as a tragedy. In addition to this, the lack of knowledge sources has also hindered everyone's self-study. For non-core technical personnel like Shi Wanke, apart from the technology mastered by CNOOC, it is difficult for them to get in touch with the world's leading technology.

This is 1994.

In this era, countless state-owned enterprises wanted to get backward foreign design drawings and required them to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When some high-level military factories transformed into refrigerators and color TVs, they could only design according to the appearance of foreign pictorials, or simply made into stupid rectangles. Occasionally, they found a good foreign product, but they did not dare to disassemble them rashly, for fear that they would not be able to install them after being dismantled. They would be satisfied if they copied a picture of a handle on the spot.

Tracking and researching heavy equipment is even more difficult. On the one hand, the prevention of Western countries and companies is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the funds that Chinese companies can raise are on the other hand. In this era, many research institutes had only one million yuan in a year. After spending labor and basic maintenance costs, the remaining money was not enough to do theoretical research. For slightly more expensive experiments, they had to apply for queues and wait...

Of course, it is even more difficult to raise foreign exchange. Although by 1994, foreign exchange was no longer as rare as in the 1980s, it was still very nervous. The central government would not allocate such important resources to research institutions in large quantities. Therefore, even research institutes directly under the central government may not be able to afford foreign journals.

Yes, many local and department-level research institutes can't afford foreign journals within their professional scope. If you order a journal for a few dollars, you will cost dozens of dollars a year. If you book a famous one, you will go out for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Not to mention if you want to understand the journal, you have to do experimental verification.

Since China's scientific and technological level lags behind the world in the 1990s, the more advanced the technical experiments were, the more it needed to use foreign exchange to purchase materials and equipment from abroad. Even if the huge amount of money was spent on purchasing materials and equipment, the research conclusions obtained were only verified by the papers of foreign peers or repeated the products of foreign peers, and it was basically impossible to obtain direct returns.

And it is meaningless if you only buy journals and don’t verify them. Over time, a few large research institutes with conditions will also reduce their investment in this area. With this money, they are more willing to invest in innovative theoretical projects.

CNOOC has revenue from exporting crude oil, so it is naturally more abundant on hand, and has also made a lot of things, such as offshore drilling platforms. They easily made two generations in the 1980s. However, the oil system is a super expensive and super-developed project. CNOOC did not continue the offshore drilling platform for three generations. The cost of making four generations is higher than that of Dahua and foreign companies in the same period, and the same is true for the time and manpower requirements.

Shi Wanke has participated in the research and development of offshore drilling platforms, but it only lasts for the second generation of products. He has been to the updated drilling platforms, but foreign companies do not allow him to look carefully at it. Even below the deck is not allowed.

Standing on Dahua's drilling platform, Shi Wanke didn't want to get a negative answer, but he really took a look. Shi Wanke knew in his heart that this might be the best opportunity.

Next time, even if CNOOC sends someone to study, he may not be able to be in the team. However, if he can lead one step ahead, he may become the "authoritative" in related fields.

There were many academic authorities in the 1990s. If any scholar knew foreign languages, he could get a few foreign journals and do a few tracking experiments. He could almost publish them in national journals, and there would be no shortage of citations.

When it comes to value, it cannot be said that the academic authority is not authoritative. At least, they have read original foreign papers.

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment, looked at his watch again, and finally nodded. Dahua Industrial's drilling platform is still a certain gap from the world's first-class level, especially the deep-water drilling platform used now, which is only available at a level and is not worried about being stolen.

If nothing unexpected happens, Dahua Industrial and CNOOC should continue the state of keeping well water from overflowing rivers.

Shi Wancola held Yang Ming's hand tightly, pinched a few marks, and said hello to the other four people, then went down to the deck. Wang Dehuang looked at it and smiled and said, "Okay, let's not rest anymore, let's go down to visit. Director Yang, can we all go down, right?"

"You can't take photos, try not to interfere with everyone's work, just do whatever you want."

"Dr. Su has arrived to notify us." Wang Dehuang still remembered his work, and then he reminded him before following Shi Wanke.

Yang Ming called out the platform supervisor and asked to follow a few people to be guides and avoid doing inappropriate things.

It was crowded below the drilling platform, with narrow stairs and narrow passages running throughout, except for the infiltration of sunlight, it was like being in a submarine.

In fact, the design ideas are similar. Pure steel structure drilling platforms are expensive. The heavier the buildings on the sea surface, the higher the requirements for the brackets under the sea surface. In order to place as much oil production and drilling equipment as possible, the living areas and channels can only take advantage of the situation. Even so, the cost of drilling platforms is quite high. With domestic production of more than 70 yuan, Dahua Industrial still needs to prepare tens of millions of dollars for each drilling platform.

The space where you are restless seems to be filled with noise. People are yelling when they talk to each other. Five people from CNPC and CNOOC are uncomfortable when they get inside.

Shi Wanke is willing to accept it. He is really doing marine oil research. Although he has done a lot of administrative work now, in China, administration and academics do not have to be separated. It is a common thing for a good academic level to promote the rise of administrative levels. When he enters the drilling platform, he naturally has a lot of thought about memory and thinking.

The other four people did not have this kind of awareness. Needless to say, the three people from CNOOC all thought they would have to wander around on land all their lives. Another guy from CNOOC was a pure administrative official and lacked a basic concept of offshore drilling platforms. Therefore, when Shi Wanke looked carefully at the arrangement and equipment, others were more observing the workers in the drilling platforms.

Because oil damaged the derrick, there are currently more than 80 workers on the platform, more than 50 are workers originally from China, and more than 20 are former Soviet or European workers hired near Baku. Most of them are busy and dark. Only a few workers who are taking turns can sit at the shaking middle connection and have a little leisurely drinking a cup of coffee or tea.

From the steel skeleton, the endless blue sea can also be called an invincible sea view.

Wang Dehuang looked at them inquiry.

Sitting on the coffee table were Russians, Azerbaijani and Kazakhstans, South Americans and Western Europeans.

Oil workers are professions that run around and go wherever there is oil. When the North Sea of ​​Britain was mining oil, many oil towns in the Middle East were empty. In the post-Norway period, British workers ran there one after another. Chinese oil workers also experienced the process from Yuzun to Daqing, from Daqing to Dongying, and then to Si*chuan and Xinjiang. The Iron Man Wang Jinxi was a native of Yuzun, but after 2010, the Yuzun, which had been empty in the oil field, had become a ghost town, and a large number of courtyards were overgrown with weeds.

Baku was originally an oil city. With the arrival of a large number of foreign companies, it inevitably attracted oil workers from East and West Europe.

These foreign workers are all temporary workers in Dahua, but their level is good, and they are responsible for the task of restoring and maintaining offshore drilling platforms.

This single well with a daily output of 70,000 barrels is already beyond the capacity of Dahua’s drilling platform, and countless places need to be repaired every day.

After drinking coffee for a while, several South Americans around the table spoke their hometown dialect and went back to work. After a while, a few more British people came to drink black tea and eat muffins.

Wang Dehuang and others stayed under the drilling platform for two hours. It was not until Sucheng came back that he asked in shock: "Why didn't I see Chinese workers? Is there a special place to rest?"

The supervisor who was resting on the steel frame smiled: "How can such a small drilling platform be equipped with a place for a special rest?"

"Is that time to rest?"

"Resting is indeed time-consuming, but now it is busy and there is not enough manpower, so our workers have carried forward their work style and reduced work-room rest." The supervisor said, worried that they would misunderstand, and said, "Reducing work-room rest is spontaneous for workers and will also pay overtime."

Wang Dehuang's face turned serious and said, "It is very hard to open up a new oil field. You can't hold on without hard work. No matter how good the equipment is, people will still be indispensable in the end."

"Yes, although it is our own drilling platform, the daily rent still needs to be calculated in the cost. Everyone wants to find the oil field earlier. Now it is much better, and when you see crude oil, everyone is relieved." When the supervisor said this, the smile on his face could not be hidden.

For oil people, the best compliment is crude oil.

Wang Dehuang and others also came from the era of the oil battle. Their passion was vivid in their minds. They couldn't help but feel something and blurted out: "I heard that you have explored a super oil field. Is this true?"

This is his goal for this trip, judging the scale of Dahua Industrial’s oil field.

The supervisor is a grassroots cadre and doesn't have much thought in his mind. He smiled and said, "I can't say how old I am. It's certain that I am bigger than Sethan. I have worked in Sethan, and all the indicators are much worse than ours now."

While climbing up the stairs that are only wide for people, Wang Dehuang consciously smiled: "Your single well output is 10,000 tons, with a production of at least 3 million tons a year. It is not difficult to imagine that it is larger than the Setan Oilfield. The key is how big it can be. By the way, there are more people on the drilling platform here, where are the other drilling platforms?"

At this time, there were 5 offshore drilling platforms in operation under Dahua's oil zone, and 3 were still under construction.

The supervisor followed the stairs and raised his head, saying, "A group of people were transferred from Setan, and then there were more foreign temporary workers you met. There were more people than before."

“More than before?”

"Didn't this be a lot of people didn't go home during the Chinese New Year? Now it's time to go back to China to take a break. Setan and the newly-provoked people have arrived. Many people don't want to leave immediately. They say they want to stay and get oil. The number of people is too high." The supervisor said that he was a little proud. He was in his 30s and was spitting everywhere, splashing the people under the ladder.

Despite the different progress, whether it is the workers responsible for construction or the workers responsible for oil production, they come to Azerbaijan at the latest when they get bids. During this period, even during the Spring Festival, few people return to China.

It’s not that we can’t go back to China, but that in order to catch up with the progress, no one can take time to return to China.

The construction and use of offshore drilling platforms are quite complex, and the earlier the drilling platforms are, the more complex they are, and the higher the failure rate they are when they are used. Dahua also took five or six years to train hundreds of qualified personnel. Now, while maintaining the Setan Oilfield, the manpower cannot be said to be sufficient.

After all, the sea surface of the Azijiu Oilfield is deeper than that of the Setan Oilfield, and the difficulty of construction and use must be increased accordingly. Most of the workers who are qualified to come here to work are at the forefront of the "special contribution list". The profits they create and dividends they receive for Dahua Industrial are more than those of local employees.

Correspondingly, Dahua employees who are finally ranked at the top of the special contribution list will also maintain their position as much as possible.

Full economic stimulus, coupled with a little bit of China's unique political work, is a good way to ensure the continued work of China's offshore drilling platform.

The hired workers in the UK, Denmark and other European workers are not that easy to talk about. Not to mention the shorter working hours and higher wages, just one two-month home leave is a big deal. Several European oil companies that have already started drilling are all in a big deal. Their European employees are too large, and they often go home, so it takes almost two teams to maintain basic operations. More than half of the energy and transportation resources of the two teams are spent on ensuring rest time and welfare. The whole is a super enhanced version of Chinese state-owned enterprises.

With these European oil workers as comparisons, American workers who take 45 days off every six months become much cute.

The so-called European debt crisis did not form in one or two days. When Europeans want to enjoy life, life will inevitably fool them.

In the real world, there is never room for "total" display.

Wang Dehuang looked up and found that it was about to reach the deck. He quickly asked: "Where are the footprints? Have the footprints of several drilling platforms increased?"

There are many people not the fundamentals, and increasing the workload means that the workload has increased.

The supervisor nodded naturally and said, "Of course it has increased."

Wang Dehuang raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: Is Dahua Industrial’s geological report very good? Otherwise, why would he be so anxious to drill well?

If the other four drilling platforms reduce the workload, Wang Dehuang would not be too strange, but if the staff is increased, it can only be said that Dahua is actively expanding its scale.

Based on this, it is at least to show that Dahua Industrial is really optimistic about the oil field.

Of course, the supervisor also needs to tell the truth. Wang Dehuang quickly decided to go to several other drilling platforms to take a look.

At the same time, Shi Wanke looked dazed until he saw Su Cheng on the deck.

On the deck of the platform were also representatives of several foreign oil companies invited. A group of people were talking and laughing, almost unscrupulously talking about the issues of oil futures and spot trading.

Su Cheng smiled and faced Wang Dehuang and others, but because of the initial success of the secret operation.

He gathered 6 oil companies in one go, which is the charming role of insider trading, and it is inevitably a factor in the rise of Dahua Industrial's status.

"You are here to visit the oil field. You are here just in time. Maybe you can witness the birth of this super oil field." Su Cheng's tone was very loud. He couldn't help but feel that it was normal to hear Wang Dehuang's ears.

It seems like a kind of aura.
