From 1971 to 1975, the North Sea oil field entered a harvest period of oil and gas exploration.
In the British sea area, Brent oil field and Oak, Oriel, Paipa, Cormorant, and Ninian oil fields were discovered successively; in the Norwegian sea area, Statfjord oil field and Espen oil fields were discovered Oil and gas fields; many oil and gas fields have also been discovered in the waters of Denmark, the Netherlands and other countries.
Almost every country has its own cake, of course, the UK undoubtedly has the highest share.
As a result, the North Sea Oilfield, which integrates superior geographical location and high-standard crude oil quality, was officially born, and gradually developed into a world-renowned giant oil and gas production area, which has profoundly affected the international oil trading market, or the popularity of Brent crude oil. so high.
The development of fiery cooking oil in the North Sea oil field was actually assisted by the historical process of Europe.
After World War II, Western countries entered a golden period of rapid development. During this period, oil consumption increased sharply and gradually replaced coal as the world's number one energy source. Industrial equipment in European countries also began to upgrade from coal-driven to oil-driven.
In the short term, a large number of energy replacements made Europe, which did not have much oil, a big headache. In addition, Western Europe was falling into economic stagflation during that period. Only a stable and low-priced oil supply can enable Western European countries to ensure national economic security and economic security. ZZ is stable.
However, if you want to eat the cake, you must first determine the share. Whoever gets more and gets less is a matter of every negotiation. Therefore, before they are struggling to find oil, the division of the North Sea has first become a thorny issue for the United Kingdom and Norway. , this problem is very complicated. For example, if the platform is on the British side, but the oil from Norway on the opposite side is pumped, then whose oil is produced?
The North Sea area between the United Kingdom and the European continent is mostly the exclusive economic zone of the United Kingdom and Norway, and the southeast is the exclusive economic zone of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The difference is also the largest.
Since the sea area north of 62° north latitude is an area directly related to Norway and the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Navy submarine base is in Murmansk, Norway has always Do not dare to rashly propose sea area division and oil exploration in the North Sea.
Therefore, in the process of dividing the oil fields in the North Sea, the Norwegian ZF always made things difficult for various reasons, intending to delay the development of oil in the North Sea.
Under such circumstances, the British ZF, which was short of oil, couldn't sit still. After a certain degree of compromise, it hastily accepted the method of dividing 35% of the control rights of the North Sea.
After solving the thorny problem of sea area division,
Since the 1970s, under vigorous development, the North Sea oil field has gradually become a major energy supplier in Europe, and it has made Britain, which used to import 99% of its oil, the fifth largest oil and gas exporter in the world.
Not only that, because of its high quality and stable output, North Sea Oil quickly won the favor of European countries.
The excavation of the North Sea oil fields has helped the economies of industrial countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Denmark, which are in a weak period, and has enabled the United Kingdom to use a barrel of North Sea Brent oil as a market reference price, thus becoming a global oil futures center of transactions.
Moreover, compared with the Middle East oil countries, European countries have complete capabilities from offshore equipment to oil refining, and they have their own oil fields. It can be said that the UK has eaten the profits of the entire industrial chain.
If it weren't for this, the sun of the empire on which the sun never sets would have stopped working long ago!
At that time, European countries had proven oil reserves in the North Sea as early as the beginning of mining. At that time, due to technical reasons, the figures obtained were as high as 5.7 billion tons; natural gas reserves had reached 3.53 trillion cubic meters.
So many energy reserves have directly promoted the development of Aberdeen, Scotland's third largest city, making it an oil industry center integrating storage, refining, and transportation, and has the reputation of "European Oil Capital".
However, although professional organizations have repeatedly refreshed the total reserves with new technologies, the crazy exploitation has made the oil reserves in the North Sea less and less. This is an inevitable event, so there are also pessimistic rumors, such as: The North Sea is dry , what is the future?
At present, the daily crude oil production of the entire North Sea has dropped from a peak of 6 million barrels to more than 2 million barrels.
In order to maintain oil production, oil companies have to increase their exploration efforts in the North Sea to discover new oil fields. However, the newly discovered oil fields not only cannot be compared with the large oil fields discovered in the 1970s and 1980s, but even make up for the decline in old oil fields. The production gap can not be achieved.
The small oil fields held by Roman and Yang Cheng are already the oil fields with the largest reserves discovered in recent years, and due to various factors, they have not fully exploited them, that is to say, their oil fields are far from reaching peak yield.
Take the legendary Brent Oilfield as an example. The output of the Brent Oilfield, which once produced as much as 400,000 barrels per day, began to decline sharply after the 1990s.
By 2015, two of the three operating platforms in the Brent Oilfield had ceased production, and the only remaining platform had a daily output of less than 1,000 barrels per day.
Not only that, but the number of new oil and gas discoveries in the UK has also dropped sharply. According to British officials, only 4 large oil and gas fields were discovered in the UK in 2010, which was not only a sharp decrease from 13 in 2009, but also fell to the bottom of the years.

Similar to the situation in the neighboring UK, Norway's newly discovered oil and gas resources have been declining year after year, and almost no large oil and gas fields have been discovered in the past ten years.
Moreover, the development of subsea oilfields takes a long time, from rough seismic wave physical exploration to detailed drilling and core sample exploration, to installation of equipment, cost accounting, application for development permits, etc., often takes five to ten years.
Of course, because of the difficulty and high cost, this kind of large-scale marine engineering equipment itself is also a big market with a high threshold, and country Z is also speeding up to catch up in this regard.
So, the oil field that Roman discovered was definitely the kind of shit luck, the kind where the pie fell from the sky.
In addition to the increasingly depleted oil reserves, high taxes and high environmental protection requirements are also a major reason for hitting the North Sea oil fields.
Due to the overall economic downturn, the large amount of tax paid by the oil and gas industry to the British government has become increasingly important. In order to make up for the lack of fiscal revenue, the British government has increased taxation on the oil and gas industry.
Under the more stringent environmental protection treaties, oil development companies in the North Sea have to increase costs to meet environmental protection regulations. Even Roman and his small private oil fields, which are not very legal, cannot escape the clutches of taxation.
Just like the United States, you pay taxes for killing people. As long as you pay taxes, no matter what you do, the relevant departments will not trouble you. On the contrary, even if you hide in hell, someone will chase after you Let you pay taxes.
The capitalist world is so cruel, and there is a cost for breaking the law. Otherwise, the three hard-headed stunned youths rashly entered the British territory to grab food from others, and only now did someone jump out to question it?
Isn't it because they paid taxes honestly, and they are still making contributions to the UK in essence, so ZF just turned a blind eye, as for harming the interests of BP Petroleum? Hehe, what's the matter with me? You are all motivated young people who pay taxes legally. For issues other than paying taxes, go out and fight on your own.
Then, BP Petroleum took the lead in launching the attack. Everything was predictable. First, it asked well-connected members of parliament to raise questions, and then used the pressure of public opinion to pin the hat of stealing oil on the heads of the three of them, and finally waited for them to survive. Go to BP to seek peace, and then the lion will open his mouth to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Yang Cheng's attitude towards this is: I want to fart!
Is it true that the media industry chain that I have worked so hard to lay out is just a joke? engage in public opinion? Lighting lanterns in the latrine—what about looking for shit (si)?
Even if you bring Lao Mo in, Yang Cheng is not afraid. Besides, Lao Mo is not necessarily willing to be this shit-stirring stick. He is now focused on selling Fox and becoming a major shareholder of Disney with peace of mind. How could he be in the mood? Offending Yang Cheng, a rising star, is not worth it for an oil field.
To be honest, the confidence of BP Petroleum is nothing more than its relationship with the British government.
But don’t forget, none of Yang Cheng and the others are vegetarians——Roman Abramovich, one of the few surviving oligarchs of polar bears after the new century, is the one who escaped the butcher’s knives. Are you afraid of BP oil?
Conrad Koch - a descendant of the top consortium in the United States, only God knows how much money the Koch family has.
Yang Cheng - a new generation of media tycoon, the king of both traditional media and new media. Although his background is not good enough, he holds the right to speak in public opinion. Neither he nor his family are just playthings.
In the face of these three rich, powerful and powerful stinky hooligans, if they try their best, it's better to take off your clothes and lie on the bed and wait to be ravaged. At least you can have a good time, why bother with life and death?
BP oil is not to the point of starvation, right? To put it bluntly, it’s nothing more than greed. I don’t know if this is a decision made by a high-level BP executive.
Now that they have already made a move, there is absolutely no reason to shut up and get beaten, counterattack is certain, the key is how to counterattack?
Lightly scolding back? It doesn't hurt or itch, it's useless.
You have to fight back, and you have to hurt the other party, telling the other party that I am not easy to mess with, this is enough energy.
Then I came up with an idea. At that time, BP's oil drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico exploded and caught fire, causing a crude oil spill that lasted for several weeks. The resulting crude oil pollution brought great challenges to the ocean. At that time, it was affected by sea wind and current. The spread of the leaked crude oil at a depth of 1,600 meters under the sea is unpredictable.
In the range of hundreds of square kilometers it flows through, marine life will inevitably be affected, including fragile coastal marshlands, and even the development of fisheries in coastal areas.
It is impossible for BP Petroleum to understate such a serious matter. Although many years have passed, the impact is still continuing. Now it is time to pull out the corpse, and what Yang Cheng has to do is to become that The corpse whipper, with a whip in his hand, beat you hard!
