Chapter 1705: Diassic Period

Yang Cheng went back to his room to take a shower, and when he went downstairs to get a glass of juice, he found that his father was still sitting on the sofa looking out the window in a daze.

He couldn't help asking, "How do you look at the scene here? What is there to see in Daheitian?"

Yang Sen regained his composure, "Oh, it's fine, I'll wait for your mother~"

Only then did Yang Cheng notice the time. It's been almost three hours since she went out and she hasn't come back yet.

But he wasn't worried about what would happen, since Andrew was following him.

"Don't worry, isn't there Andrew? If you're really worried, I'll let Hansen go find them?"

"No, I'm not worried~"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening, followed by a series of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground. This was definitely not a person's footsteps.

Old John greeted him from the kitchen, "Ma'am, who is this?"

Sure enough, there were guests. The father and son looked at each other, knowing that it was probably Qiu Ying.

How did you bring someone home?

Not long after, Liu Yun walked in with the help of a middle-aged woman who still had a charm, but the other party looked drunk and hazy, which was really a bit embarrassing.

A servant came over to help, and helped Qiu Ying in for Liu Yun. Seeing the father and son staring at each other, Liu Yun reproached, "You two dead people, you only know how to watch, but you don't know how to come and help~"

Liu Yun rubbed her sore arm as she spoke. She didn't know how long she hadn't done physical work, and her whole body ached when she moved.

Yang Sen scratched his head and laughed, "It's not appropriate for me to help~"

Yang Cheng was embarrassed, "That's not suitable for me~"

"Okay, don't make excuses~" Liu Yun sat down, picked up the water on the table, no matter who it was, poured it down, and the talent came back to life.

"I'm exhausted. This dead woman won't listen to any persuasion. She has to drink so much, and she doesn't want to go home after drinking too much. I have no choice but to bring her home."

"It's all right, there are so many rooms at home~" Yang Sen comforted him, motioned Old John to send him to the guest room, and let the servant take good care of him, then asked, "How are you talking?"

Liu Yun smiled helplessly,

"It's not that good. When I arrived, she was already half drunk. I didn't dare to drink for fear of accidents, so I just listened to her complaining there alone. Alas... such a quiet and gentle woman, now she has become It hurts like this~"

After a pause, he cursed viciously, "It's all the fault of that old Tan. He has no talent for business and he teaches well. He has to learn how others do business. This is good. Fortunately, he has no children, otherwise the whole family will be killed by him~"

Yang Cheng went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of orange juice and came back. She stuffed one of them into her mother's hand, "Drink some orange juice to cool down~"

"Don't drink~ I'll get fat after drinking~"

Well, once he heard that his mother still considered managing his body rationally, Yang Cheng knew that the matter was not serious, and he could go back to his room to sleep with peace of mind.

Turning around and just about to leave, my mother stopped me, "Wait, why are you going? You haven't finished talking yet?"

Yang Cheng sat back dumbfounded, "What does it have to do with me, I can't help~"

"If you can't help, you have to come up with an idea. Your Aunt Qiu hugged you when you were a child. You can't just let her go on like this?"

Speechless, really speechless, since when was being hugged as a child considered kindness?

"Mom, to be reasonable, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I really can't help. I can't let me pay for it myself, can I?"

"Of course not. You agree and I don't agree. You have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. It won't harm our family's interests, and it can help Aunt Qiu get through this difficult time~"

Women are unreasonable regardless of age!

Yang Cheng said aggrievedly: I am too difficult~

How can there be so many ways to have the best of both worlds? Besides, he doesn't know the details of the project now, where is the target plot? How many holes were drilled? How much did you invest? What are the results of the survey? He has no idea!

But Liu Yun was already prepared, and said with a chuckle, "The oil field Lao Tan invested in is in the Permian Basin."

"what?"

"Permian?"

Yang Sen and Yang Cheng, father and son, cried out at the same time.

There is such an oil field in the world today, which not only makes the recovery of international oil prices weak, makes Saudi Arabia sleepless, makes country Z secretly envious, and makes polar bears insomnia. The combined output may not be able to match it.

It may even detonate a new energy revolution on its own and lead to changes in the global economic structure. It is the world's most eccentric oil field today, the American version of "Changqing Oil Field" - the Permian Basin.

The Americans once said that the attack on Iraq was not for oil, and the source of their confidence was the Permian oil fields.

It is also because of the existence of the Permian that it has become an excuse for the US military to use weapons of mass destruction.

If oil is a "weapon", then the Permian oil fields can definitely be called "nuclear weapons".

"What are you two doing? Such a big reaction? Isn't it just a Permian?" Liu Yun was taken aback.

Yang Sen couldn't hold back his face, he really lost his composure just now, and glared at Yang Cheng, as if it was all his fault.

Yang Cheng's grievance: Why is it always me who gets hurt?

"You said Lao Tan's promising land is in the Permian? Hasn't oil come out yet?" Yang Sen still had that unbelievable tone.

However, it is also understandable that there is no oil in the Permian, what kind of bad luck is this!

Liu Yun really knows very little about the energy field. She knows the Permian oil field because it is so famous, but she doesn't know the specifics. For example, why is it called the Permian? Why is it so famous?

"Is it weird?"

Yang Cheng felt thirsty and took a sip of orange juice, "To be honest, it's more surprising that there is no oil in the Permian than oil."

Liu Yun was confused, "Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

Knock on the blackboard, here comes the knowledge point - if you have never studied geology, you will definitely find the name "Permian" strange and awkward. "Permian", the English name is Permian, is a major in geology The term specifically refers to a geological period. Generally speaking, it refers to the period from 250 to 299 million years ago, which is called the Permian.

At the end of the Permian period, a terrible biological extinction event occurred. More than 90% of marine life suffered extinction. As for why these creatures became extinct, there are different opinions. Some people say that it is because of the drop in sea level, and some say that it is because of planetary collisions. Earth.

Of course, this is not important, no one will mourn for the dead animals, let alone feel sorry, but after they die, they generate hydrocarbons, and after 200 million years of vicissitudes, they turn into oil and natural gas, providing energy for 200 million years later. The oil source price revolution made a huge contribution.

The Permian is just west of Texas and southeastern New Mexico in the United States. It is a large sedimentary basin. The rock deposits formed in the Permian period in this basin are among the thickest Permian deposits in the world. One, so this basin is called the "Permian Basin".

The proven range of the Permian Basin has a total area of ​​about 190,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of a state. Unfortunately, such a large piece of land cannot accommodate people, at least not the population of a large city, because the Permian Basin Its landform is extremely desolate, a scene of Gobi and desert, but there are amazing oil and gas resources buried underground.

What makes this basin different is that its oil production history has been nearly a hundred years old, but instead of being exhausted, this oil field has experienced a large explosion of production in recent years. Even the recent explosion of oil prices has not been able to withstand the second The output of the Stranian oil fields.

The amazing resistance of this oil field to low oil prices has exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only the oil industry, but the future of the entire world's economic structure may be changed by it.

What gave the Permian Basin a second spring is the most discussed keyword in the Yang family in recent days-shale oil.

The Permian has existed for more than 200 million years, but oil was actually discovered only 100 years ago, which opened the prelude to the oil boom in the Permian Basin.

In the 1970s, oil production in the Permian Basin peaked at 740 million barrels a year, almost twice as much as the DQ field at its peak, and the Permian Basin has produced more than 29 billion barrels of oil to date , 75 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

However, since the 1970s, U.S. oil production has peaked and then declined year by year, and the Permian Basin has not been spared.

At the same time, the Middle East showed the characteristics of oil tycoons and began to produce oil in a blowout manner. As a result, the world's oil production center shifted from the Americas to the Middle East, conflicts of interest arose, and the relationship between Western countries and the Middle East became more and more complicated.

Before the decline of the Permian Basin, there was a popular saying in the local area: God, give me another big oil field

However, with the sharp decline in production, everyone in the local oil-prosperous town is saying: God, give me another big oil field, and this time it will not be messed up.

Maybe God really heard the prayers of the local people, and the prayers that people had been praying for were fulfilled. An oil field that should have been aging, with declining production, and a surge in water cut, suddenly saw a surge in production.

In 2005, because of the shale revolution, the U.S. oil industry ushered in a second spring, and the Permian Basin also caught up with the spring breeze. Oil production quickly returned to its peak level in the 1970s.

However, people later discovered that the influence brought by the Permian Basin is far more than a simple recovery in production. Whether the international oil price will fall back to US$30/barrel or advance to US$70/barrel. Will American shale oil dare to attack the Middle East? It can be said that the eyes of the whole world are focused on the Permian Basin, and this place may become the fuse of the next oil war.

No wonder Old Tan, who has always been indifferent to fame and wealth, is so impulsive and plunges into it. It is the Permian, a place where you can get oil if you stick a pole. Facts have proved that human nature is evil. In the face of huge interests, a university professor who has always been calm Can't stand it, too, who wouldn't want a better life?

But the fortunes are not as good as people's calculations. Who would have thought that a fart would produce oil, but not a single drop of oil was squeezed out. There is not much foundation in the first place, and failure is inevitable.
