After listening to William's reminder, Yang Cheng decided to notify Roman of the news after thinking about it. After all, he was in charge of the operation of the oil field.
Then he heard another incredible news that the oil under the North Sea was almost exhausted.
"What's the situation?" Yang Cheng asked with staring eyes while holding the phone.
"I don't know, the news that came out suddenly seems to be from Scotland." Roman said truthfully.
Yang Cheng rubbed his chin, thought for a while and asked, "Is someone deliberately spreading rumors for a certain purpose?"
"such as?"
"Such as creating a contradiction between Scotland and Britain?"
Roman groaned, "I don't know Jason. No one can tell whether there is oil under the North Sea. At least our oil fields still have huge reserves. It will not be a problem to mine for another 3 years, but according to the rumors circulating on the market. From a standpoint, North Sea oil can only support human exploitation for 10 years at most."
Yang Cheng sneered, "10 years? Too few, it's impossible."
"Yeah, I don't think it is possible. Judging from the oil production of major companies, it is not difficult for this number to double again."
Yang Cheng rubbed his temples, and he was slurried now, "Well, Roman, in any case, you have to be vigilant, and you must never let the conspiracy of those BP **** succeed."
"Don't worry Jason, as long as the three of us are united, BP can't do anything about us."
"Yes, unity~" Yang Cheng whispered the word and hung up the phone.
William asked, "How? What did Roman say?"
"He said there was news recently that the North Sea oil was about to run out."
William was stunned, and said subconsciously, "This is impossible."
"Why do you say that?" He felt that William had said so surely, there must be a basis.
"Similar news has been spread many times, but there is a fact that the oilfield production peaked in 1999, after which production and reserves have been declining year by year. At that time, some experts believed that the North Sea oilfield would be completely exhausted by 2020.
Earlier, in the early 1970s, some experts predicted that the North Sea oil field would be completely depleted by 2000.
At that time, people who believed in the peak oil theory held a pessimistic attitude, thinking that many new oil fields would not be discovered in the world, and the remaining resources would not be able to bear the burden of human survival.
But facts have proved that the life of the oil field will be longer than expected. With the advancement of technology, the exploitation period of the North Sea oil field can continue to be extended. The oil recovery rate of some oil wells is no longer only 35% but can reach 70%. "
Yang Cheng also found it impossible, and he recognized William's words. Sixth book
However, when this rumor is combined with William’s reminder, this matter becomes interesting. In recent years, the frequency of discovery of the new Beihai oil field has become lower and lower, and the oil field controlled by Yang Cheng and the three of them, It happens to be the largest one recently discovered, with extremely rich reserves, but the news is well controlled from the source, and not many people know the news.
Of course, they didn't expect this news to be kept secret forever. After all, there are rivers and lakes where there are people. Ordinary staff can't do anything for money. It's normal to leak the news.
Imagine that when BP couldn’t find a new oil field, and there happened to be an unlawful and abundant oil field under their noses, even if the beast guarding the oil field was a beast, try to touch the other’s beard. ?
After all, in the face of profit, what a risk is!
Speaking of it, the North Sea Oilfield has a legendary flavor from the very beginning, and it can be considered ill-fated. If it weren’t for the Phillips Oil Company desperately hitting the last well in 1969, the destiny of this super oilfield might always be buried in it. Under the known deep sea.
Before the 1960s and 1970s, the label of "poor countries" was the biggest energy problem that plagued Western European countries.
Although the Soviet Union, which is the closest to Western Europe, is a major oil producer, in the context of the Cold War, ideological opposition and national security concerns prevented Europe from importing oil from the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is close at hand and the Middle East is not far away. There is always a big risk in China. The operation of industrial society cannot do without oil, but the lifeblood of it is in the hands of others. These powers in Western Europe can be said to have turned their heads.
In order to develop the economy, the "oil-poor" Western European countries have started a battle for oil. Britain has strengthened its control of the Middle East, the Netherlands has strived to maintain its special position in Indonesia, and France has dug wells in French Guiana for oil and vigorously expanded oil import channels.
Among them, the focus of operation is the Middle East, which has huge production capacity, and the United Kingdom is also the former suzerain of the Middle Eastern countries. According to the logic of the rogue, the local oil industry has a British share.
However, under the impact of the national liberation movement that arose in the 1960s, the influence of the "Suzerain State" in Western Europe was no longer in the past. Not only did the major energy players in the Middle East no longer follow the call, they joined forces to impose an "oil embargo" on Western countries. .
Suddenly the oil embargo forced the Americans to raise gasoline ration tickets. For Western Europe, which hardly produces oil, the risk is too great.
To cope with the severe problem of oil shortage, European countries headed by the United Kingdom had to turn their attention to the North Sea, which has not been developed on a large scale.
However, due to the outcropping of the surrounding land and the harsh ocean conditions, the North Sea has been left unattended for a long time at this time. From the perspective of oil exploration, the North Sea, with its complicated seabed topography and harsh maritime climate, is really not an exploration Great place.
However, in order to be able to extract oil in a short period of time, the United Kingdom liberalized the North Sea oil field exploration rights and first divided the country's one-third of the North Sea into 960 blocks (each block is about 259 square kilometers) , Use bidding to issue exploration licenses to global oil development companies.
What troubled British ZF is that even if Britain made huge concessions in oil exploration rights, the major oil companies in the world at that time were still not interested in it. After the tender was over, 60% of the sea area was still unattended.
Not only that, after the UK liberalized its exploration rights, dozens of oil companies that participated in the bidding failed to produce a well that could be put into production, and they fell into a loss-making situation.
Since oil has not been extracted for several consecutive years, the "No Oil in the North Sea" theory has begun to spread in Europe, stirring the sensitive nerves of all parties.
Until December 1969, after three years of exploration and spent more than 30 million US dollars, Phillips Oil Company could no longer afford the exploration losses of the North Sea Oilfield. So the company’s management decided to abandon the North Sea after finishing the last well. Back to camp".
It was precisely this well that did not hold any hope, which brought a ray of life to the North Sea oil field and changed the energy pattern in Europe ever since.
The last well drilled by Phillips Petroleum Company happened to be located just above the "Ekofisk Oil Field". It has been proved that the Ekofisk Oil Field is about 13 kilometers long from north to south, 7 kilometers wide from east to west, and has recoverable oil reserves of 200-300 million. Tons, 107.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
This good news gave the companies that were exploring in the North Sea a boost. Soon after, many oil companies marched into the North Sea oil fields and set up positions on the British side close to the Norwegian waters. The North Sea ushered in a bright light. time!
