Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun was very angry in an instant.

What Duan Xun wants is oil, not natural gas.At present, gasoline imports are monopolized by US oil companies, and these people earn high profits from this.How could they consider the actual situation in China.

What Standard Oil of New Jersey wanted was profits, what it wanted was money.The higher the gasoline price in China, the more profitable they are, the oil giants who monopolize China's oil imports.

So Standard Oil of New Jersey is more willing to drill, they have identified, and it is easier to natural gas.

"Half a month ago, a lost circulation occurred when they drilled a well at about 2800 meters. After a few days of stabilization, the field test results showed that the daily production of that well exceeded 1400 cubic meters, reaching 1300 cubic meters. It is not far from them. In a distant place, lost circulation also occurred, and the field test results showed a daily output of [-] cubic meters. Experts from Standard Oil of New Jersey predicted that there should be a large gas field in the Weiyuan area, with amazing natural gas reserves. After that, the surrounding six gas wells were successively inland. Lost circulation occurred continuously, and there was industrial gas flow, and it was very stable. After several days of exploration, experts from Standard Oil of New Jersey predicted that the natural gas reserves of Weiyuan oil and gas field should be more than [-] billion cubic meters. Wait until the equipment is installed, after acidification For fracturing, they believe that the daily natural gas production can reach one million cubic meters. This will become China's first oil and gas field, and it will change the history of China's natural gas."

Duan Xun was a little disappointed.

But Liang Huankui, Minister of Industry, and Ding Wenjiang, Minister of Energy and Industry, all looked joyful.Liang Huankui said: "Prime Minister, this is a very good thing. I have learned that the heat released by about 150 cubic meters of natural gas is about the heat released by one ton of coal. That is to say, if Standard Oil of New Jersey's daily production in Weiyuan exceeds [-] [-] cubic meters, then the annual production of natural gas is equivalent to about [-] million tons of coal. But judging by the appearance of New Jersey Standard Oil, they should not be satisfied with this output. They will definitely increase natural gas extraction, and will continue to look for oil and gas fields This is of great benefit to China's energy structure. In the past two years, due to the huge increase in coal demand, the development of coal mining in China has been somewhat disordered. Not only large coal companies, but also those small coal companies. The result is coal Casualties occur frequently, and the number of absenteeism due to coal accidents has skyrocketed in the past two years.”

Behind the hard data, there are very tragic accidents.

China's coal production has increased rapidly in the past two years, and the rate of increase is very alarming.It is because the demand for coal is growing too fast.Industrial development will inevitably drive coal demand.In the past two years, the industries of China and Japan have been developing, so the demand for coal has skyrocketed.What is industry, industry is always inseparable from fuel.Now China's largest fuel is coal, so the demand for coal is getting higher and higher.

There are also more and more vehicles using coal.

Ships and trains are large coal consumers. In recent years, China's shipping and railway transportation have consumed the most coal.And now even trucks and passenger cars are using coal.Because the price of gasoline is too high, the current passenger cars and trucks can only use coal instead of steam cars.

This kind of car is inefficient, and even once it stops halfway, it takes a long time to start again.But using coal is so cheap compared to using gasoline.At present, there are more than 1100 buses in Shanghai alone, more than 300 in Guangzhou, and more than 500 in Wuhan.At present, there are more than 8000 passenger cars in the whole country, and these buses use coal.

And big trucks.

Highway construction has brought great development of freight transportation.Therefore, the number of trucks in China is increasing rapidly, but because of the lack of oil, they can only be transformed into steam vehicles.

Then there are thermal power plants, and new thermal power plants are being built every year.

So coal demand is very high.

So very hard to increase coal production.Coal production has indeed increased, but behind these coal production figures, there are a series of casualties and mining accidents one after another.If this continues, such accidents are absolutely unavoidable in order to increase coal production.

If some coal can be replaced by natural gas, then the supply of coal will not be so tight.

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

I understand what Liang Huankui means.After thinking for a while, he asked, "How do you use the natural gas? What do Standard Oil of New Jersey think?"

Natural gas is new to China.

Everyone doesn't know how to use natural gas, and Duan Xun is the same.Duan Xun doesn't know where the natural gas is being used now.

"Standard Oil of New Jersey has begun to coordinate with us, hoping that we can come forward to change the current energy use structure of Sichuan cities. They are planning to lay natural gas pipelines in Sichuan, mainly from Neijiang to Zigong, from Neijiang to Chengdu, and from Neijiang to Chongqing. Hope that Zigong, Chengdu, The three places in Chongqing will mainly use natural gas in the future, including urban lighting and natural gas lighting. Especially in Chongqing, an industrial city, if natural gas is used, a large amount of coal will be saved by then.”

"What about the price?"

"Natural gas under the same thermal conditions is about 15% to 20% of the price of coal. Even if the price is increased due to the laying of natural gas pipelines, it should not exceed 30% of the price of coal. It should be said to be a very cheap energy source."

Ding Wenjiang replied.

He continued: "In terms of mining costs, natural gas is the cheapest of all fuels. Not only is it far lower than oil, but it is even far lower than the price of coal. If natural gas can be used to replace coal, it will have huge benefits for industrial cities like Chongqing. Good. Many factories in Chongqing can save a lot of cost.”

"kindness."

Natural gas has a short history.

So now natural gas is only used for fuel.Including fuels needed by industry and domestic fuels, natural gas is not used much in other aspects.

In particular, the use of natural gas for power generation, natural gas chemical industry, etc. has not been developed at all.Natural gas is just as fuel now as it was when coal was first discovered.But even so, the cost of mining natural gas is much lower than that of coal, and the price is also much lower than that of coal.

"Both of you think using natural gas is a good thing?"

"Yes."

Liang Huankui nodded, and said: "The coal industry has developed too violently in the past two years. I think we should take advantage of the opportunity to rectify it. If there are fuels that can replace coal, it will be a good thing for the rationalization of energy. In this way, we don't have to focus on Coal is one of the energy sources. And since energy such as natural gas has appeared, it will inevitably become one of the important energy sources in the future. We will discover it early, use it early, and accumulate experience and technology, so that we will not be in a hurry in terms of natural gas energy in the future. Utilize the present Let us also learn how to extract and use natural gas."

"Row."

Duan Xun thought for a while and said, "You should discuss this matter with the Sichuan provincial government and come up with a plan."

"Yes."

With the introduction of Standard Oil of New Jersey, I did not expect that the first development was not the oil industry, but the natural gas industry.But the matter has come to this point, Duan Xun can't say anything.

Natural gas is energy anyway.

But without oil, this is still a big problem.So Duan Xun changed the subject and said: "I heard Director Li Siguang and his team put forward the theory of continental oil generation, thinking that even if the place is not flooded by the ocean, if there is a depression, it can accumulate oil all year round."

"Yes."

Liang Huankui nodded, and said: "Director Li Siguang and the others did put forward such a theory, but many international experts refuted their point of view, thinking that this is nonsense. The international community still insists on the 'theory of oil-poor continental strata' and believes that It is impossible to have large-scale oil fields in continental formations."

"Then according to Li Siguang's opinion, which places are likely to have oil fields?"

"Prime Minister, in fact, the Yumen Oilfield is not marine oil generation, but a typical continental oil generation. It's just that the output of Yumen Oilfield is too small now, so it doesn't get much attention. Li Siguang, Xie Jiarong, Pan Zhongxiang, Huang Jiqing, and Sun Jianchu led People inspected many continental formations across the country, mainly those basins. Finally, some places where there should be oil were drawn."

Ding Wenjiang took out a document from his bag and handed it to Duan Xun.

Duan Xun took it over and looked at it, and found that it was a map of China, which was marked by Chinese petroleum workers, and it was not limited to continental strata.Of course, it's all speculation, they guessed that there might be oil fields.Starting from the Tarim Basin, the Sichuan Basin, the Ordos Basin, and the Songliao Basin were all circled by them.

Duan Xun finally set his sights on the Songliao Basin.

Because there are large oil fields in the Songliao Basin, which Duan Xun knows.Because the oil field that appeared in the Songliao Basin is the Daqing Oilfield, the largest oil field in China.

The Japanese explored the Daqing Oilfield in history. With a little effort and dedication, they could really discover the Daqing Oilfield.With their technology, the Japanese were able to discover the Daqing Oilfield.It’s just that at that time the international community believed that China was an oil-poor country, and the theory of oil-poor continental strata was the mainstream.The place where the Daqing Oilfield is located is a typical continental formation.Therefore, after the Japanese drilled about 800 meters, they ended the drilling.

If it goes down another 200 meters, oil will really come out.It's just that Japan itself has no confidence, so it ended drilling.In fact, if Japan really wanted to exploit oil at that time, it would be no problem to drill wells of more than 1000 meters.

"Let's put it aside for now. Since what comes out of Sichuan is natural gas, not oil. Then we can only find oil by ourselves."

"In 1928, the central fiscal revenue was 87.4 billion yuan. Among them, agricultural tax was 31.35 billion yuan, industrial and commercial tax was 21.46 billion yuan, customs duty was 14.71 billion yuan, salt tax was 5.2 million yuan, unified tax was 6.8 million yuan, government enterprise dividends were 1.2 million yuan, and other income was 2.2 million yuan."

The congressional elections are over and the year is 1929.

After the congressional elections, the next thing is to elect the president and prime minister.Of course, according to the "temporary agreement", although Duan Xun changed many things in the "temporary agreement" after he entered Beijing.But there are still many things left.In fact, the overall structure has not changed.

Such as the Prime Minister.

The People's Party has won a big victory in the parliamentary elections, and 93% of the seats in Congress belong to the People's Party members.According to the "provisional agreement", the People's Party can already form a cabinet.So the BJP leader will become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.Duan Xun, as the chairman of the People's Party, became the prime minister of the cabinet is a natural thing.There is no need for anything else. After the presidential election is over, Duan Xun can form a cabinet and choose cabinet ministers.

However, the cabinet held a cabinet meeting before a new general presidential election was held.

why.
