Chapter 402 Crude Oil Trading

In the afternoon, Xiao Hai and the others came to the company's conference room, and those invited Huaxia Petroleum had already arrived at the conference room.

After all, I have something to ask for, so I must arrive early, let alone be late.

The origin of oil, China is the first country in the world to discover and apply oil.

Shen Kuo, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, put forward extremely outstanding insights into the knowledge of ancient geology and paleontology in China. His insights were earlier than Western European scholars' initial recognition that fossils were biological remains.

Once, when Shen Kuo was ordered to visit Hebei West Road, he found that there were many snails, clam shells and bird eggs on the cliffs of Taihang Mountain. He inferred that this place was originally a seashore in the ancient times, which was formed by the accumulation of scale and silt on the seashore. He also correctly inferred the changes of seashore land based on the remains of the ancient creatures.

During his tenure, he discovered and investigated the oil mineral deposits and uses in Luyan.

He said: "There is oil in Luyan territory. It was said that Gaonu County had fat water, which is this. It was born between water, and sand and stones and spring water were mixed, and it came out violently. The natives took the pheasant tail and collected it into the jar. It looked like silence, and burned it like hemp, but the smoke was very thick, and the curtains were all black. I suspected that the smoke could be used, so I tried to sweep the coals to make it ink. The black light was like lacquer, and the pine and ink were not as good as the pine trees. The way was to be made, and the knowledge of the text was "Yanzhou stone liquid". This thing must be carried out in the world afterwards, and I started to do it. The oil was at most and it was endless in the earth, which was not as exhausted as pine trees sometimes."

Judging from the above records, Shen Kuo not only discovered oil, but also knew his purpose.

Although he emphasized the use of smoke and ink at that time, he did expect that "this thing will be very popular in the world afterwards", and this foresight is verified today. Today, the word "oil" we say is also founded and used by him, and he wrote the earliest "oil poem" in my country - "Yanzhou Poetry": It snows heavily on Erlang Mountain, and the learning of Xuanzhuo Qionghu is blocked. After all, the plain clothes will not grow old in winter, and the oil is much like the dust in Luoyang.

Human beings officially entered the oil era in 1867.

This year, the proportion of oil in the primary energy consumption structure reached 40.4%, while the proportion of coal dropped to 38.8%. Oil is the blood of the industry.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese society has rapidly moved from agricultural economy to industrial economy, and the demand for energy has been rising steadily. Oil consumption has soared from more than 1 million tons at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to 490 million tons in 2012, the latter is nearly 500 times that of the former, ranking second in the world.

Because of crude oil, crude oil is the driving force behind the rapid development of China's economy and cannot be resold. It can only cooperate with the country. However, finished gasoline can be operated privately, but the premise is that it is necessary to obtain a legal retail business license for refined oil to operate.

Liu Neng was responsible for presiding the meeting, and then said directly: "I believe that Huaxia Petroleum can come here with sincerity, so I won't say much. First of all, let me talk about how much marine oil we dug out this time!"

People from Huaxia Petroleum also want to know how much crude oil has been mined? If the quantity is relatively small, it seems that there is no need to build a storage place in Shaxin Island or nearby places. When you arrive, just call a taxi and take it away directly. After all, the cost of building a warehouse that can store crude oil is quite high.

The main ways to store crude oil and oil products are bulk storage and whole storage. Whole storage refers to storage in the form of standard barrels, and bulk storage refers to storage in the form of oil storage tanks. Oil storage tanks can be divided into metal oil tanks and non-metal oil tanks, and metal oil tanks can be divided into vertical cylindrical and horizontal cylindrical.

According to the construction method of the oil depot, bulk crude oil or oil products can also use on-ground oil storage, semi-underground oil storage and underground oil storage, water sealing cave oil storage, and underwater oil storage.

However, no matter which storage method is adopted, the storage of crude oil, especially oil products, should meet the following basic requirements:

The first is to prevent qualitative change. During the oil storage process, to ensure the quality of the oil, you must pay attention to: reduce the impact of temperature, air, moisture, sunlight, and metal on the oil.

The second is to reduce losses. The usual practice of oil depots is: choose a floating-top oil tank and an inner floating-top oil tank; choose a breathing valve baffle under the breathing valve of the oil tank; and pour water to cool down.

The third is to improve the safety of oil products. Since the fire hazard and explosion hazard of oil products are high, the explosion sensitivity of oil products must be reduced and materials with good flame retardant properties must be used.

Liu Neng said loudly: "This time our company has dug up a total of 125,000 tons of offshore oil. I believe this quantity is first-class in China and even the world, and this is only a month's quantity. I believe everyone should be able to understand the strength of our company through this quantity."

It seems that three months have passed, but the actual mining time is indeed only about one month.

When people from Huaxia Petroleum Company heard Liu Neng's words, they did not think there was anything wrong. After all, they were people who had seen the world.

However, considering that this is privately mined, the output is still very high.

In about a month, there will be more than 100,000 tons of production, and more than one million tons a year. The oil produced in the whole of China is only 100,000 tonnes per year. This is the entire output, but a company can reach one percent of a country's output. It can be said that this is already very high!

In addition, this company is just starting out. What if it is expanding in the future? If the output of the whole country is getting higher and higher, the weight will become heavier.

Because today's oil is traded according to barrels, one ton is about 7.3 barrels, and the current crude oil market is about 52.3 US dollars per barrel. If converted back, it is equivalent to about 339.95 RMB.

Because it is not very convenient to calculate according to barrels, Xiao Hai and the others still calculate according to tons. Anyway, they only have 7 barrels per ton, which is a little less than a few minutes, which is a little discount!

In this case, 125,000 tons is equivalent to nearly 300 million transaction volume.

This is only one month. If the transaction volume is calculated in this way, the annual transaction volume will reach at least 3.6 billion yuan, and the profit will be at least 2 billion yuan. However, this is definitely not satisfied with this, and it will definitely continue to expand.

After listening to the Huaxia Petroleum Field, at least more than one million tons can be mined every year. This amount can be said to be very amazing, because there is no privately mined crude oil to reach this amount. It seems that it is still necessary to build a large crude oil storage warehouse here.

Although it takes at least tens of millions to build a large crude oil storage warehouse, it is still necessary to build it in order to deepen cooperation, and Xiao Hai and the others must also see their sincerity.

Then he said: "We are planning to build a large crude oil storage warehouse locally, which will facilitate our transportation and deepen our cooperative relationship."

This is a killing two birds with one stone!
