Chapter 965 Breaking the Monopoly

    After listening to Pan Xu¡¯s words, the reporter immediately became interested and asked: ¡°Can you introduce the specific application of this technology?¡±

    ¡°We are currently applying this rotary steerable drilling system to the old mines in the Shengli Oilfield so that the surrounding oil and gas can be dispersed and extracted, thus giving new life to the old mines that are about to be closed.

    ¡°But the biggest application of this system is on offshore oil and gas drilling platforms"

    Pan Xu licked his belly and talked seriously, but every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Miles and Cai Weiguo.

    There is no way, if the air energy storage power station makes Miles and Cai Weiguo a little afraid, then the rotary steerable drilling system brought out by Ascendas Group is a sharp blade that cuts off their heads, leaving no room for maneuver.  No, just complete gg directly.

    The reason for this is very simple. The two used this system to coerce CNOOC to terminate its cooperation with Ascendas Group, thus affecting the sales performance of Ascendas Group's gas turbines.

    ¡°Because both Miles and Cai Weiguo feel that only the United States can master the rotary steerable drilling system, and only this system can reduce the production cost of offshore oil and gas drilling platforms by more than 30%.

    As we all know, due to structural reasons, oil or natural gas buried under the sea cannot form a huge cavity like that in the desert areas of the Middle East, and then fill the cavity with oil and natural gas. As long as the root is inserted straight up and down,  The oil can be extracted by pumping the oil pipe.

    The usual situation is uneven distribution of multiple cavities like bubbles.

    This makes it difficult to extract offshore oil, and the cost is also prohibitively high.

    In order to maintain costs and achieve oil profits, for a long time in the past, offshore oil drilling was conducted in places with relatively large cavity reserves. When the cavity mining is completed, the offshore oil drilling platform will rely on its own power to maneuver.  Go to the next cavity with large reserves and continue mining.

    As for other small cavities, we have no choice but to give up.

    However, often the oil or natural gas reserves rich in these small cavities combined are far greater than the reserves of those large cavities, so it is a pity to throw them away in vain.

    So starting in the 1980s, the United States developed a rotary steerable drilling system that can flexibly turn underground based on the actual conditions of offshore oil extraction in the Gulf of Mexico, making the original vertical drilling that goes straight up and down into a drilling system that can be controlled at will.  Turn your head flexibly, use advanced detection equipment to explore for oil or natural gas underground, and use its own extraction system to extract the oil or natural gas.

    As a result, this kind of rotary steerable drilling system is like a greedy snake in the game underground, chasing the cavities of oil or natural gas buried underground, eating one and then moving on to the next, until the surrounding area is thousands of meters away.  After vacuuming all the cavities, move the offshore oil drilling platform to vacuum the next area.

    In this way, offshore oil or natural gas extraction not only improves efficiency, but more importantly, can quickly increase oil or natural gas production, thereby maintaining the existing cost level and indirectly increasing the entire profit margin.

    It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.

    Because of this, since the United States applied the first rotary steerable drilling system to commercial production in 1994, it immediately caused a sensation in the international oil market.

    Norway, which made its fortune from North Sea oil, quickly followed suit and introduced several rotary steerable drilling systems from the United States for two offshore oil fields that had been judged to be over-exploited. This new mining technology was soon used to  The production of the two old oil fields has reached its peak, creating considerable energy wealth for Norway.

    Looking around, the UK, Denmark, and the Netherlands all have pink eye, and they all hope to introduce this system from the United States to increase the output of old oil fields and earn more energy income.

    The Americans looked at it this way and thought, good guy, this thing is a good cash cow, so they simply banned the export of the rotary steerable drilling system as a sensitive technology, and then treated the rotary steerable drilling system in their hands as a rare commodity to be sold at a price, and only rented it.  The situation of not selling is either to simply ask for high rent and labor fees; or to share the production with the relevant oil fields.

    All in all, Americans have taken the opportunity to find rare items to the extreme.

    The same is true for CNOOC.

    Miles learned from Cai Weiguo that CNOOC would not only expand the scale of offshore oil fields in the Bohai Sea and East China Sea, but also prepare to start oil exploration and production in the South China Sea, which would require considerable professional offshore oil equipment in the next ten years.

    As one of the most efficient gas turbine manufacturers for offshore oil exploration and production, ge is naturally interested inCNOOC is paying close attention to CNOOC's future initiatives and hopes to become its only gas turbine partner and exclusively enjoy CNOOC's high profits in the next ten years.

    Without Ascendas Group as a troublemaker, GE's wishful thinking would probably have been successful. The problem is that Ascendas Group not only became CNOOC's designated partner a few years ago, but also became the only gas turbine supplier in the past three years. Not surprisingly,  If so, the gas turbines in the next ten years will also be provided by Ascendas Group.

    No matter how you do it, it doesn¡¯t matter half a dime.

    Seeing that the plump meat was about to be snatched away by Ascendas Group, Miles, who was in China, took advantage of the gas turbine plus complete equipment model in recent years and devised a vicious trick to force CNOOC to use their GE products.

    That is to inform CNOOC through Cai Weiguo that if it does not purchase GE products, the United States will sell the rotary steering drilling system and GE gas turbines to Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, so that they can have efficient offshore oil extraction capabilities.

    This is no longer a simple threat, but a push on CNOOC¡¯s head and shit on it.

    However, CNOOC, which is well aware of the superior capabilities of rotary steerable drilling systems in offshore oil extraction, has nothing to do because the country does not have the relevant technical capabilities at all. If the Americans are allowed to give priority to the transfer to a few countries in Southeast Asia, it will be extremely difficult.  It greatly hinders the country¡¯s grand strategy of managing the South China Sea.

    ¡°One is the national policy of managing the South China Sea, and the other is imposed humiliation.

    CNOOC, like China in the 1990s, chose to move forward with a heavy load. Even though Miles developed a rotary steerable drilling system, it only rented it but did not sell it, and rented 27% of the total production capacity of CNOOC's new oil fields as the rotary steerable drilling system.  CNOOC gritted its teeth and agreed to the harsh conditions of leasing fees.

    As for the bundled GE industrial gas turbines, supporting seawater desalination systems, oil field detection systems, platform helicopters, and other related equipment, they are gold-eating beasts, almost wiping out all of CNOOC¡¯s expected profits from new oil fields in the next few years.  There are extremely heavy losses.

    It is precisely with CNOOC in the hand that Miles will launch an attack on Ascendas Group unscrupulously. It can be said that he is emboldened. The reason for this is very simple. Miles holds the secret that only the United States has.  Monopolize technology and prevent it from doing whatever it wants, then it can turn around and throw the technology to Southeast Asia, allowing Vietnam and the Philippines to do whatever they want.

    Whether to let him do whatever he wants at home or let Southeast Asian countries do whatever they want around China, the country must make a choice.

    Miles originally thought that the country had already made a choice for indulging him during this period. Who would have thought that his old enemy would just quietly take out the rotary steerable drilling system and directly take away their reliance without mercy?  has been smashed, so the domestic choices can be imagined. Now that the monopoly has been broken, the truly confident people have just appeared!
