Yang Jing didn't go over to see the monument, that kind of monument is not interesting, it just records the glory of this place.It was true that it had been glorious before, but that splendor seemed more like a mockery than the decay it now had, a mockery of what humanity knew and could only claim from Mother Earth.Yang Jing also doesn't know when this monument was erected, but it must have been built in Baku at its most glorious time.Although Yang Jing has not seen the most glorious period here, he can imagine that Baku at that time must have been full of derricks as far as the eye could see, and countless crude oil was continuously pumped out from the oil wells below these derricks, and then transported to all parts of the world, contributing to the development of the rest of the world.But what about now?
The steel forest that was once made of dense well structures is gone, the oil workers who used to work in full swing are gone, the oil tankers that used to be as large as ants are gone, and now all that is left is the wasteland that is not a hair long and those houses that can even be described as dilapidated, and the decaying scenery in front of Yang Jing made Yang Jing's heart hurt inexplicably, and then he subconsciously shook his head.The oil oligarch standing beside him saw that Yang Jing's mood didn't seem to be high, so he asked, "What?"
Isn't it a bit disdainful here?
”Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and said, "No, I just felt the previous glory from the desolation here, although I haven't seen the glory here with my own eyes, but I can imagine it."
But it was the glory of that time that made the current decay even more uncomfortable. ”"Hehe, it's rare that you have such an idea."
Alec Perov patted Yang Jing on the shoulder, "You should know that I was born in a family of ordinary oil workers in this city.When I was born, the city was at its most prosperous, and although the development of the Volga-Ural oil and gas region at that time reduced production from 70 to 40 percent of the total Soviet oil production at its peak, Baku was the first oil field in the Soviet Union.It's just that she is too old after all, and the blood in her body has been almost squeezed by humans, and she can't be compared with those emerging juniors, so she has slowly become what she is now.However, even the Volga-Ural oil and gas region, and later the Siberian oil and gas region, is called the 'second Baku' and 'third Baku'!
For us old people, Baku's position in the oil and gas industry will never be replaced!
”As he spoke, the old man patted Yang Jing on the shoulder again, pointed to the barren land in the west and said: "The old oil wells under my name are distributed in that area, there are a total of 223 old oil wells, most of them are old oil wells at the beginning of the last century, and there are less than 20 old oil wells that can still work now, and the other oil wells have long been sealed. ”"Even the old oil wells that are still working, I would have planned to shut them down in the near future.No way, these old guys, who are much older than me, don't have much left, even if they used to be extremely glorious, but now, blocking them is the best option for them. ”Yang Jing raised his eyes and looked over, just as he had just seen, in that barren land, only a few "kowtow worm" pumping units could be seen from a long distance, but more places were still desolate, almost like the Gobi Desert.Guo Dabao asked in a low voice, "Xiaojing, shall we go over and have a look?"
”Yang Jing shook his head and said, "There's no need to go over and watch it, let's take it slowly when I have time in the future." ”Alec Perov didn't know Chinese, but he could roughly guess the conversation between the two, so he explained: "This is the earliest oil and gas area in the entire Baku oil and gas area, and this area was collectively called the Bibi-Heybat oil and gas field, and even the name of this area is named after this oil and gas field."
It took nearly a century for the field to be exploited before its approximate reserves were known.At that time, Soviet oil experts concluded that the oil reserves of this oil field were about 3.5 billion barrels, and at its peak production was about 550,000 barrels a day, accounting for about 28% of the entire Baku oil and gas region. ”This figure made Yang Jing nod slightly, 3.7 billion barrels of reserves, that is, about 500 million tons of reserves, according to the recoverable reserves accounted for 30 of the total reserves, the recoverable reserves of this Bibi-Heybat oil field are about 1.2 billion barrels.Not to mention the amount of exploitation before the 20th century, the oil production technology at that time was not yet mature, so if we count the amount of exploitation in the more than half century before the 20th century, plus the amount of exploitation in the 50 years before the 50s of the 20th century, even if we calculate the amount of oil produced at its peak, it is calculated as 60 years of exploitation, then the average daily oil production is almost 550,000 barrels.If these figures are accurate, it means that there are about 2.5 billion barrels of heavy oil left in the Bibi-Heybat field, and even if half of that is converted, there would be 1.2 billion barrels of recoverable reserves.Of course, the Bibi-Heybat oil field is not known to be composed of several oil and gas reservoirs, and if the largest of them can be found and converted, even if only 500 million barrels of recoverable reserves can be converted, Rongbao Mining will make a lot of money.But you need to find it slowly."
Xiaojing, how do you feel?"
Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders, "What can I do?"
This old oil field is like this, whether it is Beaumont or Oham, in fact, it is no different from here.Buy it and look for it slowly. ”Hearing this, Guo Dabao nodded without changing his face, but he was actually happy in his heart.Obviously, since Yang Jing said that he could buy it, it means that there must be an old oil well in the "trapdoor" area here, and after staying here for more than half an hour, he got in the car and went to the next old oil field again.The old oil field has the same name as the area in which it is located, called Surakhany, about 10 kilometers east of the city of Baku.Thanks to well-developed transportation, it took less than 20 minutes for the group to reach the Surakhany oil and gas area.This is a larger, but more inhospitable area than the old oil field just now, and it is no wonder that there are more than 400 old oil wells in this oil and gas area.After getting out of the car, Alec Perov took the initiative to introduce the situation of this oil and gas area."
The Surakhany oil and gas area was developed much later than the Bibi-Heybat field, which was discovered at the end of the 19th century, but the real large-scale exploitation was at the beginning of the 20th century.In the first 50 years of the last century, the production of this oil field once accounted for 35% of the entire Baku oil field, which is the highest production oil field in the entire Baku oil and gas area. ”ps: There is something that needs to go out temporarily, and this chapter is a little less
