Romanian Eagle

Chapter 513: Libyan Petroleum (Part 1)

Romania was still so busy in 1926, and people were running around for life or ideals. Also in the deserts of North Africa, a group of Romanians are also busy here.

The June sun scorches on the Libyan desert, creating waves of heat. Although it is not yet the hottest season, this level of heat is enough to make people feel uncomfortable.

In this hot weather, Volhawk commanded his team to erect drilling equipment. Volhawk and his team belonged to the exploration team of the Romanian Petroleum Company. After the establishment of the Italian Petroleum Company last year, they were transferred to the exploration team under his name. At present, Illuo Petroleum has three oil exploration teams from Italy, Romania, and the United States. These oil exploration teams are currently spread over the vast Libyan land, looking for the blood of these industries.

"Hurry up and set up the steel frame. Also, tell the guards that we are running out of drinking water. Ask them when the next batch of water will be delivered."

As the captain, Volhawk wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered the work of his subordinates. Speaking of the escort, the main reason is that Libya is currently not at peace, and the Italian government has set up these valuable oil exploration teams to ensure that they are.

Since Italy occupied Libya, the local tribes have rioted from time to time. This has been going on for more than ten years, and it stopped a lot after Mussolini came to power. This is not because they supported the leader of the ***, and was strongly suppressed.

However, although the local tribes have been suppressed, they are still dangerous to economic activities. That's why Italy has specially arranged an **** for each exploration team to ensure their safety.

In addition to protecting their safety, these escorts will also do some logistics and transportation work. After all, the areas they need to explore are all sand, and everything needs to be transported from outside. And the commander of this **** team was already familiar with Volhawk, so he was so careless to ask people.

"Captain, I just asked the guards. They said that the next batch of supplies will arrive in two days."

"Okay, I know."

After answering his subordinates, Volhawk quickly reminded him that the team member carrying a drill rod was suddenly chained. "Be careful, pay attention to your feet, don't damage these equipment. You also pay attention to safety."

But Volhawk did not remind loudly that these drill pipes and drill bits are made of ultra-high-strength steel, so the price is naturally not cheap. Without using these materials, it is impossible to drill into the intended formation. You have to know that this is a stratum that has to be drilled for more than a thousand meters. Without good materials, these drill bits and rods have long been scrapped. Moreover, it costs more than 100,000 U.S. dollars to drill a well, and Volhawk is currently the fourth well drilled. This is that hundreds of thousands have been squandered by him, but a drop of oil has not been found, but there is a well that has dug out groundwater, which is considered a cheap nomadic tribe.

But this time, Volhawk intends to drill to a depth of 2,000 meters. I hope I can have good luck this time. According to his understanding, the new company paid a bonus of up to 100,000 U.S. dollars for each oil well, and hoped that he would get it again.

So even if three wells have been destroyed, the exploration team is still full of energy. They are eager for bonuses. Otherwise, in this hot desert, which lacks water and food, is doing hard and tiring work. If it weren't for a generous salary and bonus, who would take his life to make money.

Thinking of the bonus, he is full of enthusiasm. If he can get the bonus, his child can go to aristocratic school. In the future, his future will be much better than his own. What they do is much better than their own exploration team, which is hard and tiring and sometimes life-threatening.

While Volhawk and others were promoting Libya's oil business, Anthony Ke, president of Illuo Petroleum, rushed to Benghazi by boat. This time he is here to inspect oil exploration.

"Mr. Domiffy, how is the recent exploration work going on?"

Anthony asked when he saw the person in charge of the place.

"Your Excellency, the various exploration teams are currently stepping up their oil exploration work, but there is no good news yet."

The person in charge answered cautiously, and his words upset Anthony.

"Can you urge them to hurry, Rome is waiting for their good news."

Anthony's words made the person in charge smile bitterly. He is just in charge of logistical work, and he can only count on these prospecting teams if he can produce oil. "Your Excellency, we can't urge them at the moment. At present, the various exploration teams are already working overtime. They don't even have time for afternoon tea."

Anthony, who was a little impatient to listen to his explanation, waved his hand to stop the person in charge from continuing, only to see him staring at the other person and saying. "You have to know that the patience of those in Rome is limited. The company has already spent nearly tens of millions of lire, but there is no result at all~lightnovelpub.net~ I am under a lot of pressure. Don't let me pass the pressure on about you."

"Gu... Next... Your Excellency, I... This urges the exploration team to speed up."

The person in charge who was frightened by Anthony, some stuttering agreed.

"Go ahead."

Anthony waved his hand and let go of the poor person in charge.

In fact, Anthony knows that it has nothing to do with this person in charge, but who puts too much pressure on him, he always needs a place to vent. It's better to vent to the subordinates than to hold it in your heart, and now he is much better.

In fact, he still has some grievances in his heart and blames Romania, the second largest shareholder, because Romania does not know where to get the news, saying that their research has discovered that there are oil resources in the Sirte Basin of Libya. Therefore, the Italian government, which had high hopes for this, immediately carried out large-scale exploration in the area. However, this has been too fast for a year, and there has been no news of oil hitting there.

As the president of the company, Anthony is naturally under great pressure. The Italian government needs oil to develop the economy, and the dignitaries in Rome also need oil to make a fortune. As for the Romanian side who provided the news, Anthony certainly can't afford to offend him, and can only find his balance in his subordinates.

Anthony, who was worried, wandered in the exotic Benghazi casually.

He plans to visit local officials to deepen the company's local influence. After all, this is the logistics base for the company's exploration in Libya, and it should be a visit for the company's benefit. Although the government has provided a guard for the exploration team, this attitude is enough to make local officials take it seriously. But sometimes there may be some moths, after all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
