Yao Yuan raised his chin slightly and said, "Since I have little chance of winning, what are you afraid of? There is no limit on the number of exploration teams in racing exploration, Mr. Gallotovich, right?"

"Yes." Garlotovich said with a smile, "Mr. Jin, if Hyundai Petroleum is worried about falling behind, it can definitely increase the number of exploration teams."

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, I have to correct you. The first batch of exploration teams invested by Southern Industrial was fifty, not the thirty as you know."

"Impossible, you simply can't afford fifty exploration teams to operate in the field at the same time. Even thirty exploration teams have exceeded the affordability of Southern Industrial." Kim Jaehyun had completely calmed down, thinking that this was Yao Yuan's trick.

Fifty exploration teams start operations at the same time, which will consume up to 50 million US dollars per day.

That's $50 million, not $5,000.

It’s every day!

From the emergence of oil to the present, no oil company has ever used an exploration team of this size, and even more than five exploration teams are very rare. Because even the Seven Sisters of Petroleum cannot support such a large-scale consumption.

It is reasonable for Kim Jae-hyun not to believe it.

Not only him, but everyone didn't believe it.

Garotovich is also waiting for Yao Yuan to solve the doubts in his heart.

However, Yao Yuan had no intention of explaining. He smiled and said to Gallotovich, "Mr. Gallot, our first exploration team will enter the site tomorrow for exploration. Is there no problem?"

"No, no, of course not. As long as it doesn't violate the rules, if you need help, please let me know." Gallotovich said quickly.

He hoped that the sooner the better.

Kim Jae-hyun showed no sign of weakness and said, "Our Hyundai Petroleum exploration team will also enter the site for exploration tomorrow."

"Great." Garotovich became even happier.

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded, actually took off his coat and threw it to Jiang Yong beside him, and then jumped into the unloading team. The dignified boss regarded himself as an ordinary worker.

Kim Jaehyun stared at Yao Yuan, who didn't look like he was showing off, for a while, then looked at Qianzhongxin, and the two quickly returned to the dormitory.

"The Norwegian and Finnish exploration teams have arrived in Tyumen City. They must move here overnight and dare to enter the site for exploration before dark tomorrow." Kim Jaehyun picked up the satellite phone and started making calls.

Qianzhong Xinyi frowned and sat there thinking, and said slowly, "Yao Yuan seems to be joking. Do they really have the ability to launch fifty exploration teams at the same time?"

"Impossible, they can't afford five thousand dollars a day." Kim Jaehyun said firmly.

Qianzhong Xinyi suddenly proposed a hypothesis, "What if Southern Industrial does not use US dollars for settlement, or even what if the exploration teams from major oil fields in China are compulsory?"

"Huh?" Kim Jaehyun had just finished making the phone call, and the movement of his hand paused, and he looked at Qianzhong Shinichi in confusion.

Qianzhong Xinyi said, "China has a nationwide system. If Southern Industry gets official support, it is fully capable of mobilizing dozens of exploration teams to work at the same time. What the worker said is true. Every time

When encountering national-level projects, Chinese people will resort to a large-scale battle, with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people working at the same time."

Kim Jae-hyun's premonition suddenly turned bad, "Is it possible? Can Southern Industrial get official support? Even if it is supported, it cannot be compulsory, how can it be free."

Qianzhong Xinyi said worriedly, "The exploration teams from China's major oil fields have arrived, and there is no doubt that Southern Industry has official support from China. Of course, it is impossible to provide help for free, but they are all Chinese companies and each other uses their own country."

It is normal for currency to be settled domestically."

"Their costs themselves are extremely low. In this way, perhaps the cost of drilling one well is only US$100,000, and Southern Industrial is fully capable of affording fifty exploration wells."

The cost of five million US dollars per day is affordable. In exchange, fifty exploration teams are working at the same time. Theoretically speaking, if they work at the same time for one day, they can drill fifty exploration wells. Based on this scale,

It only takes three to five days to produce oil.

That’s a cost of 20 to 30 million US dollars.

Even if it does not participate in the subsequent share sharing, Southern Industrial's theoretical profit is still 40% to 50%, which is a very beautiful figure.

The cost for Hyundai Petroleum and Shinri Chemical to hire an exploration team is 15 million, but the scale is much smaller.

Additional exploration teams are inevitable, which means an increase in exploration costs.

Kim Jae-hyun held on to the last glimmer of hope and said, "We have to find out whether Southern Industrial is going to send out fifty exploration teams. Without precise information, it will be difficult to approve the additional budget requested by the group headquarters."

"It's too late, they moved very quickly, and we are already behind." Qianzhong Xinyi shook his head slightly and said, "On behalf of Xinrihua, I will express my position and add an additional budget of five million US dollars."

Modern oil had to follow suit.

Kim Jae-hyun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Hyundai Petroleum will also add an additional five million US dollars."

This amount is their maximum authority. A total of an additional US$10 million is enough for two European exploration teams to work for a week.

Kim Jae-hyun suddenly said, "Invite the exploration teams from Singapore and Malaysia. Although their level is worse, they are cheaper quickly. In this way, we can add three exploration teams, so we have eight exploration teams in our hands. Among them

One is aviation exploration, and its technology should be able to make up for its numerical disadvantage."

By the next day, all doubts were gone, because the Southern Industrial convoy had not stopped since the night.

Southern Industrial has collected almost all the heavy-duty trucks in the Tyumen region. There are more than 500 all-terrain crawler transport vehicles used in harsh terrains. From the Far East Military District to the Siberian Military District, they have scanned around to collect these important transport tools.

Funny.

Each exploration team is equipped with about ten all-terrain crawler transport vehicles, and more than 500 vehicles are enough to support fifty exploration teams.

Yao Yuan was not joking. What he was commanding was a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people. He had prepared more than 5,000 tons of living supplies alone!

Oil workers from major oil fields only stayed in the Huaxia Camp for an hour or two. After organizing their equipment and loading supplies, they set off directly into the deep mountains and old forests to embark on the road of exploration.

For three consecutive days, more than 30 exploration teams from Southern Industrial have gone to the predetermined location and started exploration work non-stop.

When the third night came, the Norwegian and Finnish exploration teams hired by Hyundai Petroleum began to set off from the camp. Kim Jae-hyun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing.

However, Hyundai Petroleum followed up quickly. Through aerial exploration, they quickly completed preliminary exploration of a large area. In fact, this has provided a good basis for narrowing the scope.

Yao Yuan did not choose aerial exploration, not because he did not have the financial resources, but because there was no professional aerial exploration team in China, not a domestic team. He was determined not to use it, and would rather spend the money on cooperation with major oil fields.

For the oil field cadres who have rich experience in commanding large-scale battles, apart from the different languages ​​​​and the harsh natural environment, the battle here is child's play. However, this is the first foreign oil field battle. It is said that this is not only an economic cooperation project, but also a foreign oil field battle.

It is also a political project and requires everyone to work to the highest standards.

Yao Yuan asked Zhong Weiguo to invite Soviet experts who had participated in the exploration of the Tyumen oil field, and also found a group of retired cadres from China who had stayed in the Soviet Union, so that they could reminisce about the brotherhood in the past and obtain information about Tyumen from Soviet experts.

Relevant conditions in oil areas.

The oil field that Garotevich obtained is of small and medium size in the Tyumen oil region. Preliminary exploration data from the Soviet Union shows that the recoverable reserves are less than 100 million tons. This is one of the reasons why Garotevich was able to obtain it.

, otherwise it won’t be his turn at all.

Yao Yuan did not know the specific location of the oil outlet, which meant that his innate consciousness would not play a role in this racing exploration. This was the main reason why he decided to use the human sea tactic.

Southern Industrial drilled 21 exploration wells within a week, with amazing efficiency, but found nothing.

However, good news came from Hyundai Petroleum. Less than 5 kilometers away from Well No. 21 of Nanfang Industrial, Hyundai Petroleum drilled its seventh exploration well, and oil blooms have already appeared.

The balance seems to be tipping in favor of modern oil.

Qin Zhenjun, who was taking command at the Huaxia Camp, couldn't sit still. He was about to rush to the No. 21 exploration well with his men, but saw Yao Yuan following him.

"Mr. Yao, I will go to the scene to take command, and you stay in the camp." Qin Zhenjun persuaded, "The conditions in Well No. 21 are relatively poor, so it is not appropriate for you to go there."

Yao Yuan said, "I am also a poor boy, and I have experienced the worst conditions. Let's go together and set up the headquarters in Well No. 21."

Qin Zhenjun no longer insisted, and a group of more than a dozen people took a Mi-17 "Hippo" transport helicopter and flew to Well No. 21, a hundred kilometers away.

After arriving at Well No. 21, Qin Zhenjun immediately started work. Li Quanhui, the leader of the exploration team, reported, "The current position is 3200 meters. Han Bangzi found oil blooms at 3500 meters. What needs to be determined now is that according to the original plan

Drill at 3,200 meters or drill to 3,500 meters?”

When it comes to cost issues, Li Quan dare not make any independent decisions.

The technician who followed over said thoughtfully, "Well No. 21 and Hyundai Petroleum's Well No. 7 are only five kilometers apart. I studied the geological structure map of this area and found that they belong to the same block."

He paused and said, "I suggest drilling to 3,500 meters before making any plans."

In this industry, Yao Yuan can only be regarded as a person with some common sense. He cannot understand professional data, but he can understand what everyone is saying and knows what he is struggling with now.

Qin Zhenjun frowned, stared at the picture, and said nothing for a long time.
