“Smuggling the concealed production to obtain greater benefits is the real risk of concealment, if the concealed production has never been out of the oilfield, not taken to the trade, but only quietly converted into electrical energy and internal consumption of electrical energy, this behaviour is simply no way to verify the outside world;”
“The relevant law enforcement authorities’ determination of oil smuggling is based on the fact that oilfields deliver oil through irregular channels and exchange it for benefits, but for oilfields that often produce tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of barrels per day, cutting off five-thousandths of a cent of the production capacity on their own before sending it out through the pipeline on a daily basis is enough to make up for the power shortfall.”
“So, combining the existing factors, I think this should be the best solution to make up for its own power shortfall, while still making all the apparent data appear to be without anomalies.”
Hearing this, Li Yalin couldn’t help but praise offhandedly, “Reasonable and convincing, so if you were to base your judgement on your judgement and combine it with Skyline’s data, would you be able to identify the target?”
Ai quickly replied, “By analysing Skyline’s data, I believe that Cancell Oil is the most suspicious, there is a solid-roofed building covering an area of about two thousand and three hundred square metres in the central north of their oil field, this building didn’t exist in the data from fifteen years ago, and the construction started thirteen years ago.”
Said AI, through the screen, showing multiple pictures, the first picture was still centred on an open field with sporadically parked vehicles and placed equipment, by the second picture, the field was on foundations and walls were beginning to be built, while a dug trench could be seen running from inside the foundations, all the way down to the nearest oil extraction machine.
Ai went on to introduce: “From the second picture information, can see that there is pipeline engineering in construction, oil pipeline linked to the distance from the nearest oil extraction machine, I presume that it should be the oil pipeline, all the oil pipelines in the oil field are exposed, only this oil pipeline is buried in the ground, which can be seen that the other side does not want to let this cut pipeline exposed, so, inside this buildingshould be the oil generator set, and the one that takes up the most volume in this should be a gas turbine.”
Li Yalin said, “If we simply rely on an oil pipeline to determine that this must be an oil power generation unit inside, it seems to be somewhat insufficient.”
Ai said, “Expected you to say that, so I also found out that the Nigerian Electricity Holding Company Limited made an announcement thirteen years ago that due to the shortage of power supply in Lagos and the surrounding areas at that time, the company decided to implement power restriction measures on companies with serious power wastage in Lagos, and in the list of companies with power restriction, there was Kansel Oil;”
“The announcement said that the reason for the power restriction on Kensel was that Kensel Petroleum had exceeded its peers in power consumption per unit due to old equipment, and the announcement was made two months before the commencement of the construction of that building, and according to my analysis, it should be that Kensel Petroleum had just been subjected to the restriction of power, and the construction of this building started immediately, and since then, Kensel Petroleum has not been subjected to asimilar penalties, so this building must be a small oil power plant!”
