Eight Hundred and Thirty Second Oil Players

"Eh? This? It seems that Huaguo Petroleum has been in contact with them?"

"Well, there is contact, but the oil imported from there has not been much. Now we have a lot of goods in our hands. This is the salary they give us, and it is difficult for us..."

When Liu Jin said this, Xiao Feng understood that the Emotional Weiguo is now paying off the debt with property.

This country was quite cunning before, saying that it owed Hua Guo 50 billion U.S. dollars, so don’t ask for it. I’ll give you one of our islands to repay the debt.

But don't even look, where is that island?

It's really not authentic to want Hua Guo to take the chestnuts out of the fire just under the eyes of the United States.

Now Mao Xiong is involved. In order to help President Ma maintain stability, many contractors have been sent there, but the problem is that Mao Xiong's support is not unlimited.

The contractors sent also had to eat meat, and it was impossible for Mao Xiong to pay for it out of his own pocket.

But how can President Ma have the money to support such a group of uncles, but it is impossible not to support them, so he finally figured out a way to use oil to pay wages.

If it was a few years ago, it would definitely be a good idea, close to the time when the price of oil was high.

But now the United States has become an oil-exporting country, and the global oil price has not been high. President Ma used it to pay off his debts, which made Mao Xiong a little overwhelmed.

Moreover, the quality of oil in Venezuela is not very good. When oil prices were high in the past, some poor countries didn’t care too much. As long as the price is cheap and you can drive, you can buy it.

But now that the oil price is so cheap, who will buy your poor quality oil.

Even Hua Guo, a big country short of oil, looks down on Venezuela's oil.

After taking control of the Copper Kingdom, especially the Ithaca region and the Kalapago Islands, Xiao Feng also thought about doing oil business.

After all, it is very close to Venezuela, and Venezuela is one of the few countries in South America that is rich in oil, and its reserves are still very large, so he thought about it.

It should be very successful to engage in oil business here.

But who would have thought that after researching and understanding the oil situation in Venezuela, he would stop thinking about it.

Speaking of oil fields in Venezuela, they have been exploited for nearly a hundred years.

It was first mined at the beginning of the last century. At that time, the oil giants in the United States shifted their attention to the Gulf of Mexico after dividing up the domestic oil field production areas.

First went to Mexico to engage in a lot of oil fields, then took a fancy to the South American countries along the Caribbean Sea, and finally found an oil field with abundant reserves in Venezuela.

Then those oil giants used various means to carve up these oil fields.

It wasn't until later that a strongman came out of Venezuela, Cha, drove away all those foreign oil companies, nationalized all the oil fields, and brought them under the name of the Venezuelan oil company PDVSA.

At that time, Zha’s reputation was in full swing, and the international oil price was high at that time, so Venezuela’s oil did not have to worry about exporting at all.

So during that time, the people of Venezuela lived a very happy and prosperous life.

And Cha used such a tough method to make the people of Venezuela live a better life, but he offended the oil giants in Europe and the United States.

They have been lying comfortably on the Venezuelan oil fields for nearly a hundred years,

How can they be happy when you drive them away?

So since then, European and American countries have adopted a hostile attitude towards Venezuela, and even once sanctioned Venezuela internationally.

But because of Hua Guo's strong support at that time, Venezuela's life has always been good.

The situation didn't turn bad until President Zha died of illness and President Ma took over.

It's also because Mr. Ma was unlucky. When he came to power, he also wanted to continue to check the president's route.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the United States has made a huge breakthrough in shale gas technology.

It used to be the world's largest oil importer, but it suddenly became an oil exporter.

All the oil-exporting countries in the world not only lack a huge oil market, but also have a strong competitor.

In addition, they still control Iraq, and under the manipulation of petrodollars, the price of oil soon fell to the lowest point in two decades.

As a result, life in Venezuela will be difficult.

Venezuelan oil has been very cheap before because their oil quality is so poor.

When Venezuela first discovered oil fields in the last century, the oil they produced was of high quality, but after being exploited by many oil companies in Europe and the United States for decades, their high-quality oil resources have long been exploited.

The remaining oil field reserves are not so much oil as highly viscous bitumen.

Compared with the light crude oil that is drilled in Saudi Arabia and the oil is automatically ejected, it is simply a thousand miles away.

The cost of refining such heavy oil into light crude oil is very high, and a large amount of waste gas will be generated in the process.

Even warships that can eat coarse grains are helpless when encountering such heavy oil. At present, only the "Varyag" ship in China is still using this kind of heavy oil.

However, before using it, a high-pressure pump is needed to break up the oil and inject it into the oil-fired boiler for combustion, otherwise it will not burn at all...

This kind of oil, which one do you think you like to use?

Is it not good for people to import light fuel oil that can be burned directly from Saudi Arabia?

Now that Liu Jin is free, Xiao Feng helps him settle this matter, Xiao Feng also has a headache!

"Liujin, wasn't ROSNEFT the sole agent of Venezuela's oil before?"

"Huh? You still know this company?"

Liu Jin glanced at Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng smiled.

What a joke, he wanted to do oil business in Venezuela. At the beginning, he not only studied Venezuela's oil fields and oil quality issues, but also studied several major players.

Before Venezuela was sanctioned by the United States, Venezuela's oil was basically sold to Huaguo Petroleum, Chevron of the United States, Reliance of India, and Aini of Italy.

Because Venezuela does not have heavy oil processing technology, it is dumped to these companies at low prices.

Chevron and Aini basically refine heavy oil and resell it to other South American countries. Anyway, the price is cheap, and South American countries like it.

Reliance and Huaguo Petroleum took the oil back for their own use.

But later, due to the drop in international oil prices, Venezuela's economy collapsed, and President Ma's position was unstable. The United States wanted to take the opportunity to overthrow him, but in the end things were messed up by Russia.

So the United States imposed the most severe economic sanctions on Venezuela.

Chevron, Aini, and Reliance are afraid to play with Venezuela's PDVSA. Venezuela's oil has no market, and it is even more difficult.

As for Huaguo, because they can purchase high-quality fuel oil from Persia and Saudi Arabia, they don't care much about the oil here.

It's just a small batch of purchases every year, but this is not enough for the country to live.

So they entrusted Mao Xiongguo's ROSNEFT with full power to sell oil. After all, the only companies in the world who are not afraid of US sanctions are Maoxiongguo and Huaguo's companies.

But now ROSNEFT is also having a headache for the sale of Venezuelan oil, because the quality of Venezuelan oil is really bad.

Moreover, it is too far away from Huaguo and India, the main consumer markets of oil, and the cost of transporting it there is a lot of money. Coupled with the later refining, the cost has increased by a piece.

In this way, who is willing to buy Venezuelan heavy oil in large sums?

That is because they have always had some arms trading relationship with South Vietnam and India. These two countries can sell them a little face and buy some heavy oil from Venezuela.

Most of the heavy oil that can be saved, they can't sell it at all.

Even the oil in ROSNEFT's hands can't be sold, let alone Liu Jin's side?

This oil is really not easy to sell, but Xiao Feng rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea.

Huaguo doesn't need it, but his Kalapago Islands have a lot of needs!

Not only oil, but also bitumen are in great demand.

Because there are more than 100 islands in the Kalapag Islands, and now he is engaged in large-scale island farming on the islands, so he will do a lot of infrastructure work on the islands.

Building a house and paving roads requires a lot of construction machinery, and these construction machinery need to burn oil.

The oil used in these machines does not need to be of high quality.

In addition, because the Kalapago Islands are located in the center of the ocean, there is a rainy season of six to eight months every year, and the annual rainfall is quite amazing.

Therefore, both roads and houses need a lot of rainproof infrastructure, which requires a lot of asphalt.

Thinking about it this way, Venezuelan oil at a higher price can just meet the demand when it goes back.

In addition, before those wind power and solar power plants are fully built, the power supply in their area mainly depends on thermal power.

And there is no natural gas to burn near them. If the price of heavy oil is cheap, they might as well burn oil directly.

In his design, the future Kalapago Islands region will have 3 million people living, and these people will also need to use a lot of petroleum energy.

There is also the Ithaca area, which is also a big market now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng smiled and said to Liu Jin: "Well, you get a batch first, and I'll try to see if there is any market in other places."

Liu Jin, whose hair was about to fall out because of those oil worries, was overjoyed when he heard that Xiao Feng really had a solution.

"Really? That's really great. Don't worry, as long as you can solve it, we have the technology for refining heavy oil."

"Really?"

This time it was Xiao Feng's turn to be happy. Diluting heavy oil to refine light fuel oil has been a problem that has plagued many of the world's major oil companies.

There are a few factories in China that can do refining, but the cost has remained high.

Xiao Feng forgot, Mao Xiong is also a petrochemical power, if they can provide a solution, that would be great.

"Don't worry, I heard from those technical engineers that they have a solution. Now we have two oil tankers in Venezuela. Tell me, where are you going to transport the oil?"

"The port of Ithaca in the Copper Country, let's send it there first. But I can agree, we are not responsible for the freight."
