Reborn 80s

Chapter 1080

At this time, Chen Huaiqing was looking through the research and development of shale gas extraction technology.

He naturally knew about the shale gas revolution.

For China, why should we vigorously develop new energy?

Isn’t it all about control over energy?

Oil is China's largest commodity every year. Since becoming a net oil importer, the amount of oil imports has been increasing day by day.

Even though China's own oil production is constantly increasing, the increased production cannot meet the demand for oil.

Shale gas extraction becomes an option!

Even if the mining cost is higher, so what?

As long as it is cheaper than the international oil price, there will be profit.

Then, by constantly upgrading technology and reducing development costs, we can make a profit if the cost is less than 300 yuan.

After all, the national crude oil price is generally above fifty dollars.

As long as it can make money, shale gas extraction can continue.

The shale gas extraction technology research and development project team is under the Motap Petrochemical Company, and there is a large amount of shale gas in Shuchuan.

Motap Petrochemical's business consists of three major parts: finished oil sales business, finished oil pipeline business and finished oil storage business.

Of course, it also has a transport fleet.

The transport fleet is owned and managed by the finished oil storage depot and transports finished oil to gas stations.

The money that Metcalf Petrochemical earns from the sales of refined oil products is basically invested in transportation pipelines and refined oil storage depots.

Of course, with the completion of the transmission pipeline and finished oil storage facility, the annual profit of Murtagh Petrochemical is naturally increasing.

The transmission pipelines and finished oil storage facilities are also open to the public, and other companies can use them if they want.

Of course, the charges are based on the amount of transportation and storage.

Chen Huaiqing rubbed his forehead and leaned back in his chair: "Let Mota Petrochemical continue to increase its research and development in shale gas extraction technology. In addition, we can have more technical cooperation with China National Petroleum and China National Petrochemical. Package the shale gas extraction technology research and development project into a company and let them invest in it."

Mota Petrochemical indeed has no experience in oil extraction.

In terms of R&D progress, it has not been so smooth.

You know, shale gas development has become a thriving industry in the United States, and the technical conditions are already quite mature.

We have now entered a stage of technical improvement. The next step is to constantly find ways to update the technology and reduce mining costs during the specific use process.

Chen Huaiqing remembers that there was a period of time when a number of OPEC countries united to expand the supply of oil market, causing oil prices to fall.

The purpose is to crack down on shale gas extraction in the United States.

After all, no matter how low the cost of shale gas extraction is, it is still more than 30 US dollars.

If the oil price is too low, commercial companies will not make any money.

It’s okay if you can’t make money in a short period of time, but you will definitely not be able to hold on for a long time.

Unless you believe that the situation will definitely get better in the future, you will just grit your teeth and hold on.

The founder of the company wants to hold on, but the investors behind him don't want to waste their money.

Without money, the company cannot operate.

After all, the company has so many people to support and they have to pay salaries every month.

OPEC countries did not defeat shale gas, but instead they could not bear it.

For example, in 2015, with the support of Europe and the United States, the Tesha and Sayyidun forces fought each other.

Tesha was immediately drawn into it, and even became a transport captain, which directly increased the equipment level of the Saihu armed forces.

Of course, no one was surprised at the fighting ability displayed by Tesha.

The tank is equipped with air conditioner...

Well, it is indeed hot there, there is really nothing to complain about.

But we have to admit that the army composed of rich people is really not that strong.

Unless extreme circumstances occur, there should not be any major problems for China to obtain oil from abroad.

So it seems that shale gas extraction is not so urgent and can be done slowly.

Large-scale mining can be done slowly, but shale gas mining technology must be mastered!

Once there is a need, production capacity can be created to meet the demand in a short period of time.

Chen Huaiqing is not worried about the research and development of shale gas extraction technology.

He has great confidence in the technicians and believes that as long as there is enough support, they will always perform "miracles".

Chen Huaiqing drew a circle on the finished oil pipeline and finished oil storage depot of Motap Petrochemical with a pen.

"The secretariat has come up with a plan to split up Murtagh Petrochemical, separating the transportation and storage of refined oil products. Murtagh Petrochemical will continue to focus on the sales of refined oil products."

Wang Wan was surprised for a moment: "Boss, isn't it good now?"

If the split is carried out, it will not be good news for Mota Petrochemical.

"The general trend in the future is to form a unified enterprise for the transportation and storage of refined oil products. The current situation of each doing its own thing is actually a waste of resources to a certain extent."

The integration of resources to achieve more efficient use of resources is inevitable.

This is a quite normal thing.

After an enterprise develops to a certain level, it will inevitably carry out internal integration.

The time when an enterprise conducts internal integration often overlaps with the time when the enterprise reaches the bottleneck stage of development.

As for internal integration within the enterprise, the ideal state is to continuously integrate during the development process.

Rather than when development stagnates.

When things reach a state of stagnation, integration becomes restrictive.

Wang Wan wrote this matter down in a small notebook. As she got older, her memory was not as good as when she was young, so she had to remember what she should remember.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on this matter."

As for crude oil transportation and storage, there is no need to separate them, as they are all supporting facilities of Mota Chuguang Petrochemical.

Chen Huaiqing: "By the way, how is the construction of Mota Energy's charging stations going now?"

If pure electric vehicles want to gain a larger market, there are two problems that need to be solved: range and charging.

The driving range mainly depends on the battery.

Chen Huaiqing has always attached great importance to the research and development of power batteries and has continuously invested funds in research and development over the years.

The results are naturally extremely significant.

Another issue is charging!

Especially fast charging technology.

Now that fast charging technology has matured, it has begun to be officially deployed in the market.

Wang Wan: "More than 60 dedicated charging stations have been built in Yuzhou and Chengdu, which can provide charging services for 5,200 electric vehicles at the same time."

There are two ways to charge pure electric vehicles nowadays. One is charging with household electricity, which definitely takes longer.

Another option is to go to a dedicated charging station.

Charging stations all have fast charging, so the charging time is definitely shorter than charging at home.

"In addition, Mota Energy has introduced off-peak charging prices. Charging between 10 pm and 6 am the next day will be much cheaper."

After the electricity is generated, how to preserve it is a big problem.

Every summer, Sichuan wastes a large amount of hydropower.

The wasted water and electricity are all money!
To this end, Motta Energy has stepped up the construction of external ultra-high voltage transmission networks to supply electricity to the Yangtze River Delta.
