The German side previously foresaw that Baku's oil fields may increase because of China's involvement, but such a magnitude is absolutely beyond anyone's expectations, this matter, if it is not verified, no one will believe it, hearing is false, seeing is believing, according to the data of Baku's annual output of 30 million tons, 6 achievements are almost 20 million tons, 20 million tons, according to the price of 35 dollars a ton, this is 700 million US dollars.

The price of a battleship is $30 million, and $700 million represents 23 battleships, which is almost the total number of battleships built by Germany before the war, and excluding the 9 ships of the Scheer fleet, the number of capital ships is only 18 at best.

This kind of improvement, is immediate, the magnitude of the improvement is considerable, the German side weighed the pros and cons, found that not only has burned down the oil well, there is a requirement to replace, even if there is no oil well, it also needs to be replaced, China's double-head oil extractor price is relatively expensive, probably more than 1 times the world's mainstream single head, but no matter how expensive, compared with the efficiency of the improvement, there is still no way to compare.

From 2,500 tons, this high-yield oil field, to nearly 6,000 tons, may suddenly become the entire Baku, the most oil-producing oil wells, it will increase by more than 3,000 tons per day, the international price is as high as 100,000 US dollars, 10 million in 10 days, 10 million in 100 days, but the price of oil production equipment, a set of only 500,000 US dollars, this price and the increase, is really far inferior, because of Zeyang, Germany bought a large amount of money, a one-time purchase of 300 sets, This is the total number of oil fields in the whole of Baku, of course, without paying cash, with oil. China was required to complete the renovation of oil wells in the winter, and in 1916, production would continue to be accelerated.

Chinese specialists, in addition to the location of new oil wells, increase production capacity, and install new oil production machinery. It's more about exploration, that's the point, the double-head oil production unit, the production capacity that can be increased, is just to increase the oil production of a fixed oilfield, not to increase the total reserves of the entire oilfield, only to increase exports, even if it is just not very good exports, as long as it reaches the industrial flow. It is enough to satisfy both parties.

Baku in this era, the depth of oil production is only about 600 meters, according to geological conditions, Baku oil should not be so little, the Caspian Sea coast, is the world's rare marine oil production template, how can it be found now, we must increase the intensity of exploration. Let's not talk about whether Russia can survey all the oil wells that have been exploited at depth, even if they do. On the premise of increasing the depth, more oil wells can also be obtained, even if the daily production is only a few tens of tons, the number is quite considerable.

Yang Yuanzhao is not a god, and he could not have foreseen that he would travel back in time to 1908. There is even a chance to enter Baku without the completion of Baku's exploitation, but continue to explore, using China's knowledge of oil. Increase the depth of drilling, is sure to increase production, the current Baku newly opened up oil fields, has appeared one after another, the Chinese side does not know how many oil fields in Baku, but the exploration technology of this era, there are always omissions, with the scientific and technological level of this era, 1000 meters is a limit, the use of some geologists, with the theory of continental basins, should be able to find more oil fields, then these are their benefits.

Of course, the Chinese in this regard, do relatively fair, do not ask for more things, just as much as possible to obtain some reasonable benefits, these Germany also recognize, equivalent to Germany directly take the occupied land shares, take 80% of it, the remaining 20%, to China, and China will increase production as much as possible, this output will make a reasonable distribution, China will buy according to the current market price, a premium of 10%, conservative estimates, at least annual output will exceed 200 million tons, That's a staggering number, and the amount of money consumed is quite staggering.

China in the exploration, has accumulated enough, for reserves or something quite familiar, in a large number of address experts search, one after another new oil field discovery, Baku's total reserves relative to before, has a huge improvement, reached the previous several times, re-established 1,120 oil wells, most of which are dozens of tons per day, the average daily production reached about 60 tons, more than 1,000 different oil wells, together, Baku's daily crude oil production capacity, from the original 100,000 tons, It skyrocketed to 800,000 tons, and a large oil field with an annual output of 240 million tons appeared in front of the Germans.

Such dazzling changes, so that the Germans are also like in a dream, Baku is a huge treasure trove, as long as the Germans get Baku, at least 1 billion US dollars a year can be guaranteed, but when this number expands 8 times, to 8 billion, they are a little overwhelmed, for fear that there will be too many things, they can't sell them, and things are scarce and expensive, which they still know.

More than 1,100 oil wells, according to each set of 500,000 yuan, just the cost of oil wells is as high as 500 million, according to the daily output of 50 tons of oil wells, the daily income is only about 1,500 US dollars, it will take one and a half years to recover the funds of oil production equipment, which is still measured according to the current oil price.

However, the Chinese side is extremely generous, and directly said that with the current price as the benchmark, the acquisition will be increased by 10%, as long as the international price is lower than this, it will come according to this price, and once the international price rises, it will follow the international level.

Germany did not expect that China would be so generous, according to the current standard, a ton is about equal to 7.35 barrels, the current price of a barrel of crude oil does not exceed 4 US dollars, if it is increased by 10%, it will reach between 33-34 per ton, just this price increase, the annual income is 700 million US dollars more, if Baku's oil production is all sold, it will reach between 8 billion and 9 billion.

This is extremely generous, although it is said that the production of oil wells is more or less, most of them are below 50 tons, but some high-yielding, an oil well is equal to hundreds, a daily output of 2500 tons, it can reach about 6000 tons, the highest, the output of up to 4800 tons, how much.

In fact, after 10 days, the 4,800-ton oil well completed the modification work, with a daily output of up to 11,000 tons, becoming the world's first oil well with a daily output of more than 10,000 tons of crude oil.

Germany is very excited, directly desperate to sign the agreement, according to the previous agreement, the increase in production will belong to China, 3 into the distribution of input and output, will last for 10 years, of course, these will be according to the cost of oil production, 4 into the quota, back according to this ratio, only this one, the entire German oil sales revenue in the next 1916, will reach about 4.8 billion US dollars, this money, even if the purchase of oil well equipment is deducted 500 million, is enough to support Germany in the next big move.

About Baku oil, after China showed magic, the dust settled, China is also quite excited, according to the agreement, at least 150 million tons of crude oil, will be traded to China, this is a large amount of oil resources, enough to deal with China's oil crisis, even now, China has a variety of motor vehicles more than 2,000, but 150 million tons of imports, not only can support the full operation of vehicles, but also allow China to reserve more oil.

The discovery of large-scale oil resources is a good thing, but how to transport such a huge amount of oil out is a crucial problem, Baku is next to the Caspian Sea, not far from the Black Sea, but unfortunately this is not a time of peace, otherwise, directly build an oil pipeline from Baku to Batumi, build a large-scale port on the Black Sea coast, you can transport things out.

Now during the war years, both the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal were controlled by the British, and it was impossible for them to allow oil tankers to cross the border, so if they wanted to transport these things out, they could only use railways.

Since Germany started the war against Baku, China has been prepared, the railway is the best tool for land transportation in this era, there is no one, on the sea route, has been vetoed on the premise, the railway is the only option, from Istanbul, even the 3B railway is located in Iraq, directly through a railway to Baku, this is the most recent, but also the most labor-saving option.

It is expected that by February 1916, the railway to Baku will be directly through, whether it is material transportation or mechanical transportation, it will be greatly improved, but in the middle, there is a slight change, Baku is an oil city, the product is liquid oil, not other resources, so this railway needs a large number of liquid cars.

However, even if the capacity of this railway is large, according to the number of 1,500 tons of a train, 150 million tons, 100,000 wagons are needed, then a number, the average is more than 300 cars per day, it is not impossible to arrange it, in this way, according to the words of a round trip in 3 days, at least 900 trains, 1500 tons of wagons, at least 25 carriages, if all are liquid carriages, you must prepare in advance, because it is only to extract oil, Without considering liquefied petroleum gas, the manufacture is an ordinary container carriage, which is much less difficult than a high-pressure closed carriage, as long as there are enough molds and production tools, and a certain amount of manpower is invested, it can be produced quickly.
