Primeline Q2 Sees Better Revenues - Seite 2
During the quarter, CNOOC China Limited ("CCL") and Primeline continued their negotiations with Zhejiang Gas to try to settle the issues related to gas sale and pricing in the Gas Sale Contract. Primeline welcomes the better off take seen in the quarter under review and noted that subsequently there has been continuous off taking from mid-October to date.
CCL and Primeline have requested that Zhejiang Gas ensure that the 2015 annual volume of gas for off take is in line with the annual "take-or-pay" volume of 195 million cubic metres (mcm) for 2015 in accordance with the Gas Sale Contract. CCL and Primeline anticipate full collection of amounts owing associated with the 'take or pay' contractual arrangement.
Primeline believes longer-term fundamentals remain positive given the underlying growth prospects of the Chinese gas market even in the context of the country's widely reported lower short-term economic growth. Currently gas represents only 5% in China's energy mix and 3% in Zhejiang Province, compared with 25% internationally. With the further development of regional and local gas grids, Primeline believes gas consumption will continue to expand in China, particularly in East China, and that current surplus capacity will be quickly absorbed by the anticipated growth.
