"I emphasize again that every decision I make is based on the safety of the crew, so please don't question my determination to protect employees."

Yang Cheng supported the table with both hands, leaning forward, forming a strong sense of oppression.

The reporter Xi was silent for a while. It seemed that everyone was shocked by Yang Orange's declaration. Who can slander a boss who is an employee at this moment?

This time Yang Cheng didn't sit down again. After speaking, he gave everyone a cold look, turned and left the conference hall, saw Conrad head-on, and instantly laughed, "How about? My acting skills are OK. ?"

Conrad thought carefully and said, "Very good, I think it is necessary to help you apply for an Oscar for best actor award."

"That's not necessary~" Yang Cheng actually became humble.

The two went upstairs side by side, and Conrad said, "This wave of crisis is over~"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, the pirate leader has gone, as long as he does not die for a day, it will be a hidden danger to us~"

"Didn't you say that Arik was responsible for the finishing touches? With his energy in Africa, what's the hard way to clean up a pirate."

"It's hard to say, these pirates are very good. If you drill into the desert, it will be difficult to find him~"

"Yes, but that's the end of the matter. If it's a big deal, we will hire a security company. In the future, we will send a team to station on our tanker for a long time. It is nothing more than spending several million dollars."

Yang Cheng nodded slightly, "This is a good idea. We can also let our own bodyguards go up for training. You have to let them smell the smoke of war in the market to ensure their strength and state~"

"Shit, you are too cunning, you can't afford to lose any loss, just do what you say~"

The two returned to Yang Cheng’s office. Liu Junyu came over to deliver coffee. After she left, Yang Cheng cut two cigars and lit them one by one. “Before I left, I had a detailed chat with Arik. The status quo of the oil industry is very unsatisfactory."

"Then he still works as an oil refinery?" Conrad was puzzled.

"This is also where his purpose lies. He hopes to change the harsh environment through his own efforts. To be honest, I am not optimistic, but this investment is also a move we must make."

He was referring to investing in Arik’s refinery project.

Conrad bit his cigar and didn’t say anything. He didn’t know what he was thinking. Yang Cheng shook his head after breathing out a few puffs of smoke. I have to often announce the suspension of oil transportation under the influence of force majeure. This problem has been around for a long time. At present, there is no solution at all. I am afraid that only a modernly managed oil refinery will not solve much."

Since the middle of the 21st century, pipeline damage, kidnapping, and armed takeover of oil facilities in the Niger Delta have become increasingly serious.

Almost in every period, different organizations have come forward. Some of them attacked or threatened oil facilities for some ZZ purposes. Instead, they claimed to seek redistribution of oil wealth and strengthen local control over the oil sector.

Various safety issues have caused some oil service companies to withdraw from Nigeria, and oil unions have also used strikes to protest frequent production shutdowns, and even large-scale conflicts and casualties.

There has been a certain degree of relaxation in recent years, but with the oil shortage this year, the reduction of new job opportunities and the slowing of economic development have led to an increase in oil stealing and attacks.

In order to combat corruption, the new general tong announced that the Zheng policy no longer favors amnesty beneficiaries. The most obvious point is that the amnesty payment process has changed. Now ZF pays the pardoned directly instead of uniformly paying the former armed forces as before. The ZF leadership then allocates.

In addition, the expenditure on the amnesty project has also been cut, mainly because ZF is trying to gradually reduce the scale and is preparing to cancel it completely. In addition, the new president announced that it will no longer continue to implement the infrastructure protection contract signed with former militants. According to the contract, the former militants are responsible for protecting the safety of oil and gas facilities, and now this part of the work is taken over by the ZF security service department.

In short, because of the new leader's coming on stage, a gap has appeared in Nigeria's complex interest chain related to the oil network.

The oil stealing and trading market in Nigeria mainly involves a complex network system, which includes national, regional and international personnel. The personnel composition is also very complex, including local young people, communities, and professionals, such as corrupt bank managers and elites. Elements, ZF leaders and security forces personnel.

Oil stealing occurs in multiple production links from upstream to downstream, such as wellheads, choke manifolds, pipelines, and oil storage tanks at the export terminal.

Most of the oil stealing is done by installing a hose on the pipeline to drain the oil, and then use an oil pump to send it to a tanker or a small oil storage tank.

Part of the stolen crude oil flowed into illegal refineries along the swamp shrubs of the Niger Delta, and then the refined products were sold to domestic and regional buyers.

Of course, a large part of the crude oil has entered the international market, and the crude oil sold to the international market flows directly from Nigeria’s export terminal. The local people call these oil thieves white-collar thieves, and white-collar thieves steal it from the terminal. Fill the oil storage tank with the oil, or steal oil from the storage tank and transfer it to the truck.

Part of the international crude oil traded illegally also involves the transfer of crude oil from small storage tanks to large storage tanks far offshore.

The amount of crude oil stolen is as high as 400,000 barrels per day, which is close to a day's output. Of course, this is only a human estimate and there must be errors, but even if the losses in the mining process are ignored, it is still a considerable number.

The key is that it is difficult for the extractor to monitor the pipeline The specific amount of stolen oil cannot be counted. At the same time, international oil companies do not uniformly report the amount of stolen oil, so there is no comparison of the total amount of stolen oil. Authoritative data.

This is also a serious challenge North Sea Petroleum faces in extracting oil in Nigeria. Stealing other people's oil is no matter what, but stealing my oil is the same as taking money directly from my wallet, absolutely not.

The reason why Yang Cheng dared to invest more than 4 billion yuan in the chaotic place in Nigeria is that he hopes to tie his interests with the local snakes through this move. Arik will never watch his own interests be damaged?

Monitoring refined oil is always more convenient than monitoring crude oil. It can greatly alleviate the distress of crude oil being stolen, but it is only a relief. He knows that stealing oil has already formed an industry in Nigeria. He is worried that others will use his cheese, and others do not want to do it. The cake is destroyed.

Therefore, it is difficult to solve the problem of stealing oil from the source, and we can only find ways to reduce losses!
