PETROCHINA 2001 NET PROFIT EXCEEDS RMB46,800 MILLION,THE MOST PROFITABLE LISTED COMPANY IN HONG KONG
(2002-04-15)
15 April 2002, Hong Kong ¨C PetroChina Company Limited (¡°PetroChina¡± or ¡°the Company¡±- SEHK stock code 0857; NYSE Symbol: PTR), the largest crude oil and natural gas producer in China, today announced a net profit of RMB 46,808 million for the year ended 31 December 2001, down 15.25% from 2000. The results are in line with market expectations, demonstrating the Company¡¯s achievements in cost control and operating efficiency. PetroChina¡¯s net profit for 2001 tops all listed companies in Hong Kong and the percentage of decline in net profit is smaller than other domestic and overseas oil companies.

The decrease in the Company¡¯s profitability is primarily attributed to the general decline in the prices of crude oil, refined products and petrochemical products. However, the increase in sales and other operating revenues from the Refining and Marketing Segment and sales and other operating revenues from the Natural Gas and Pipeline Segment, have enabled the Company to partially offset the effect of price decreases and to achieve satisfactory operating results through successful efforts in increasing productivity and sales volume and cost cutting.

Consolidated turnover for the 12 months ended 31 December 2000 was RMB238,893 million, down 1.28% from 2000. Earnings per share were RMB0.27, a decrease of RMB0.05 per share from 2000. The Board of Directors of the Company recommends a final dividend of RMB0.050272 per share for the year 2001, together with the interim dividend of RMB0.069535, making a total dividend of RMB0.119807 per share for the year 2001.

Mr. Huang Yan, Vice Chairman and President of PetroChina, said, ¡°In view of global economic forecasts and uncertainties affecting the international oil prices, we will reinforce our oil and gas exploration and development, strengthen the restructuring of the refining and chemical operations, accelerate the development of natural gas business, actively and prudently develop overseas businesses and continue to implement the low-cost strategy.¡±

¡°PetroChina will continue to maintain and develop its core businesses, uphold its advantageous position in the upstream business and increase the profitability and competitiveness of the downstream business in order to maximise the value for shareholders.¡± said Mr. Huang.

Exploration and Production

Sales and other operating revenues for the Exploration and Production Segment decreased by 13.25% to RMB148,277 million for the year 2001. As the Company`s oil prices are directly linked to the international oil prices, the decline in the international oil prices has resulted a decrease of 13.23% in the Company`s average realised selling price of crude oil to US$23.61 per barrel in 2001 from US$27.21 per barrel in 2000.

For the year 2001, the Company¡¯s annual total output of oil and gas amounted to 857.4 million barrels of oil equivalent, including 763.5 million barrels of crude oil and 563.5 billion cubic feet of marketable natural gas, representing an average production of 2.09 million barrels of crude oil and 1.544 billion cubic feet of marketable natural gas per day. The Company successfully reduced its lifting cost to US$4.376 per barrel, representing a decrease of 6.6% from 2000. By 31 December 2001, the Exploration and Production Segment had achieved 75% of the RMB6 billion cost reduction target set for the four years up to 2002.

Refining and Marketing

For the Refining and Marketing Segment, sales and other operating revenue increased by 5.2% to RMB169,534 million for the twelve months ended 31 December 2001. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the sales volume of principal products such as diesel oil and gasoline.

Last year the Company`s refineries processed 567 million barrels of crude oil, or an average of 1.55 million barrels per day. The Company produced approximately 46.54 million tons of gasoline, diesel and kerosene and sold approximately 51.64 million tons of these products. The Company is actively expanding its sales and distribution networks, in particular the retail distribution network, by capitalising fully on the complementary value-added effect of the integration of refining and marketing. As at the end of 2001, there were 12,102 service stations either owned, controlled or franchised by the Company or owned by CNPC but to which the Company provides supervisory support. The Company owned and operated a crude oil pipeline network of approximately 9,186 kilometres and a refined product pipeline of 984 kilometres. The processing costs of the refining unit of the Company are also declining steadily from RMB141 to RMB138 per ton. By 31 December 2001, the refining and marketing segment had achieved 89% of the RMB1.3 billion cost reduction target set for the four years up to 2002.

Chemicals and Marketing

Sales and other operating revenue for the Chemicals and Marketing Segment decreased by 4.76% to RMB31,776 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was due primarily to an overall decrease in the prices of principal chemical products as a result of the weakened market for chemical products.

In 2001 the Company produced approximately 1.571 million tons of ethylene, approximately 1.827 million tons of synthetic resin, approximately 0.327 million tons of synthetic fibres, approximately 0.239 million tons of synthetic rubber and approximately 3.068 million tons of urea. Under the unfavourable business environment, the Chemicals and Marketing Segment adopted strategies to adjust product mix and to produce high value-added products as well as to cut cost continuously. Up to 31 December 2001 the chemicals and marketing segment had reduced costs by 88% of the RMB1.2 billion cost reduction target set for the four years up to 2002.

Natural Gas

The Natural Gas Segment achieved significant increase in sales and other operating revenue by 58.05% to RMB11,321 million in 2001. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the selling price and sales volume of natural gas and to the transfer of the pipeline transmission business from the refining and marketing segment to the natural gas and pipeline segment. The sales volume of natural gas increased by 13.09% to 442.2 billion cubic feet in 2001.

The natural gas and pipeline segment is the Company`s core business for development. Last year the Company produced 563.5 billion cubic feet of marketable natural gas, of which 442.2 billion cubic feet was sold through the natural gas and pipeline segment. The Company currently owns and operates 12,918 kilometres of regional natural gas pipeline networks, of which 11,826 kilometres are operated by the natural gas and pipeline segment.

West-East Gas Pipeline

The West-East Gas Pipeline Project is the largest project undertaken by the Company since its listing. The Project has achieved a progressive step forward in the process of selecting international participants. After extensive negotiations, the Company and the Shell Investment Consortium, comprising Shell International Gas Limited, OAO Gazprom, OAO Stroytransgaz and Hong Kong China Gas Company Limited, reached consensus on the principles for the Project and entered into the ¡°Interim Agreement on Basis for Finalisation of West to East Gas Pipeline Joint Venture Framework Agreement¡± on 29 December 2001.

The drafting and negotiation of the ¡°West to East Pipeline Joint Venture Framework Agreement¡± with the Shell Investment Consortium is advancing smoothly. Substantial progress in the initial preparation phase for the Project is achieved with the commencement of the experimental phase of the Project and of the relevant controlling works.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, PetroChina will continue to implement the strategies of accelerating the development of its core business, reducing costs, innovating new technologies and persisting restructuring. For the upstream segment, the Company plans to maintain a long-term growth profile in oil and natural gas production through stabilising crude oil production and increasing natural gas production at a fast pace. PetroChina will focus on developing its refining operations in the major oil refining bases in Dalian, Lanzhou, and accelerate the expansion of retail operations with the target of expanding retail market share. The Company will also focus on developing selected quality chemical products including ethylene, polyethylene, raw materials for chemical fibres and fertilisers to achieve increased competitiveness of the Chemicals and Marketing Segment. PetroChina will actively develop the natural gas market with the aim to making natural gas business as the most promising source of new growth.

Despite the volatile crude oil price last year, PetroChina recorded satisfactory results which top all listed companies in Hong Kong, solid evidence demonstrating the Company¡¯s persistent efforts in cost control and management strengthening since its listing in Hong Kong and New York in April 2000. Facing the current operational environment and challenges, the Company will continue to insist on contemporary management concepts of optimising corporate effectiveness, good corporate governance and maximising shareholder return, targeting to become a top ranking international oil and gas company.

Negotiations over US$5.6bn JV Gas Project Continues


PetroChina, China`s largest gas producer, said it hopes to finalize negotiations over a joint venture with Royal/Dutch Shell to build the US$5.6 billion west-east gas pipeline in June as scheduled.

The talks are well on track, and PetroChina is ready to kick off the overall construction of the project this month, said Shi Xingquan, vice-president of PetroChina.

PetroChina and a foreign consortium led by Shell preliminarily agreed in December to jointly build the 4,000-kilometre pipeline to trench natural gas from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the west to coastal Shanghai in the east.

The joint venture is scheduled to start construction in the first half of this year and is to transmit gas to Shanghai in early 2004.

PetroChina has already been working on some experimental sections of the pipeline.

Analysts said if the trunkline fails to deliver enough gas on time, the pipeline would lose money.

The financial news provider Bloomberg yesterday said Royal Dutch/Shell Group agreed to operate Kela-2, China`s No 2 natural gas field to deliver the gas.

Shell will run Kela-2 and four other fields for two years. Shell may buy a 45 per cent stake in them from owner PetroChina, Sun Longde, vice-president of PetroChina unit Tarim Oilfield, was quoted as saying.

According to the December agreement, Shell`s consortium, including Russia`s Gazprom, will take a 45 per cent stake in the project, making it responsible for the pipeline construction and gas field development. PetroChina will take the rest.

Shell is courting more foreign companies to join the team, including ExxonMobil and Malaysia`s Petronas.

But BP, another international oil major shortlisted for negotiating with PetroChina, dropped the offer at the last minute, saying "the demanding timetable and the advanced stage of the project definition`` made it quit.

Steve Buckley, head of the Commercial Section of the British Embassy, said it is not strange for a company to give up something it does not want.

"It is impossible to get your finger on every thing,`` he said. "They just devote themselves to whatever they think is the most suitable.``

Despite the BP`s pullout, he said, many small and medium-sized British companies have shown interest in getting involved, including those in related industries like turbine and steel and service companies.

He said foreign companies are also keen to invest in China`s fledging but fast growing gas market because the government is tripling gas consumption in the next decade.

"It is a very big market, not only for direct investment, but for loans from banks,`` Buckley said.

He said China has formed a gas work group to seek business opportunities in areas like pipelines, safety and environment, training techniques and LNG (liquefied natural gas) terminal construction.

China dreams of trans-national gas pipeline
By John Schauble in Korla, Xinjiang
June 11 2002




Way out west, out Mongolia way ... laying pipes on the 200km test line. Temperatures regularly go above 40C.


It is China`s pipedream: a 4250 kilometre, $40 billion gas pipeline that will carry gas from the far west of Xinjiang in Central Asia to the industrial centres on the east coast.

Piping natural gas from the harsh desert of the Tarim Basin to Shanghai is a massive undertaking and the economics still look a little shaky. But the Central Government has decreed that the west-east pipeline will go ahead and this is still a country where what the Government says goes.

The pipeline is a centrepiece of the Government`s western development plan. Out in the desert, in temperatures reaching the mid-40s degrees Celsius, workers have almost completed 200 km of test pipeline, which will serve as a pilot project for the thousands of kilometres due to be built by the end of 2004.

Lack of readily extractable oil and gas resources has already compelled China to look overseas for guaranteed supplies. An Australian consortium led by Australian LNG Pty Ltd is one of three short-listed bidders for a 25-year contract to supply $750 million worth of liquefied natural gas annually to a Guangdong terminal.

But China, which is trying to reduce its dependency on heavily polluting fuels such as coal and oil, is also looking to exploit its own resources. These tend to be remote from the centres of population and industry but, even more critically, are often difficult to extract.


Sun Longde, vice president of PetroChina`s Tarim Oilfield Co, says there are gas reserves of 28.4 billion cubic metres under the Taklimakan Desert spread across three major fields, enough to guarantee supply for 30 years.

"The Tarim field has abundant reserves of oil and gas," Mr Sun told visiting foreign reporters recently. He conceded that there were difficulties in extracting the resources because of the geology of the region.

"All of this has made it more difficult for us to get the oil and gas in the Tarim field out because the reserves are very deep," he said. "But the returns are still very high."

Mr Sun said it would take just six to nine years to recoup the investment in the pipeline that will bisect almost the entire Chinese mainland.

PetroChina, the nation`s largest oil company and now listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, will put up about half the capital. Sinopec, the next biggest domestic oil company, will put up 5 per cent. The remainder is expected to come from a consortium of foreign investors led by the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, still negotiating their involvement in the project.

Peter de Wit, director of Shell Gas & Power`s Asia-Pacific operations, said in Brunei recently that the company remained committed to the project.

Some analysts suggest the cost of gas delivered more than 4000 km will make the end product prohibitively expensive. For the moment, natural gas accounts for just 2.5 per cent of energy use, compared to almost 70 per cent from coal - which is both abundant and cheap, as well as closer to the populous eastern seaboard. China hopes to increase gas use to 10 per cent by 2010.

But the Government can virtually guarantee a core of customers at the other end of the gas pipeline, such as state-run power stations, even if it means further underwriting the cost of production.

One issue of concern remains security. The Tarim field lies deep within Xinjiang, close to China`s borders with Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Central Asian former Soviet republics. China itself has concerns about the activities of separatists who challenge Beijing`s rule over the ethnic Uighur population in a region once known as East Turkestan.

"We don`t have to worry about the safety and security of the pipeline," said Zhang Zhiheng, Communist Party secretary of the Bayangol Mongolian Autonomous Region, where the pipeline will start its journey to Shanghai.

The pipeline is being sunk underground to escape both the extreme climatic conditions and its potential as a target for terrorist attack. But the chances of interference were slight, said PetroChina`s Mr Sun. "In the past 10 years there were no serious cases of sabotage," he said.

For Bayangol, centred on the city of Korla, the project promises rapid growth and jobs, although migrant workers from other parts of China are undertaking much of the construction work. PetroChina says up to 30 per cent of the workforce is made up of local ethnic minorities. Most appear to be confined to unskilled jobs.

Activists in the US recently lobbied ExxonMobil, a potential consortium partner of Shell, against involvement in the project because it will help the Chinese Government consolidate control over "Uighur lands" and because Exxon involvement would provide investment capital for PetroChina`s exploitation of the fields.

At a state-of-the-art gas and oil distillate producing facility at Yaha not one of the 82 employees is an Uighur. This is more of a reflection on government policies over the past half century that have made it difficult for Uighurs to gain sufficient education to provide the skills needed.

The field came online last November but until the pipeline is built it is extracting oil concentrate and returning the bulk of the gas underground.

PetroChina kooperiert mit Shell, Exxon, Gazprom für Pipeline

Donnerstag, 4. Juli 2002 16:14

Das größte Erdgas und Erdöl Unternehmen in China, PetroChina Co. (NYSE:PTR), gab heute bekannt, dass es ein joint venture Abkommen mit Royal Dutch/Shell Group (LSE:SHEL), Gazprom (RTS:GAZ) und Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) für ein Pipelineprojekt unterzeichnet hat. Dies berichtet das Wall Street Journal in seiner Online Ausgabe am Donnerstag.

Das Unternehmen betonte, dass Erdgas in Zukunft den Wachstumsfaktor bestimmen wird, Analysten hingegen entgegnen, dass die Pipeline erst in einigen Jahren erste Gewinn ausschütten wird.

Die West-Ost Pipeline beinhaltet die Konstruktion einer 3.900 Kilometer langen Pipeline, die Xinjiang und Shanghai verbinden wird.

Die Pipeline wird 4 bis 5 Prozent zum Gewinn des Unternehmens im Jahr 2008 beitragen, falls die Kapazität, 12 Millionen Kubikmeter pro Jahr, voll ausgeschöpft werden kann.

Die Investition in dieses Projekt wird bei $8,5 Milliarden liegen, die Pipeline allein kostet $5,2 Milliarden.

PetroChina ist mit 55 Prozent an dem ehrgeizigen Projekt beteiligt, die anderen drei halten 45 Prozent. Die $5,2 Milliarden teure Pipeline wird zu 35 Prozent durch Aktienkapital finanziert. PetroChina wird 50 Prozent der Pipeline selbst halten, Shell, Exxon und Gazprom 45 Prozent und Sinopec wird 5 Prozent übernehmen.

PetroChina schloss am Donnerstag um 0,58 Prozent höher bei HK$1,72, CNOOC stieg um 4,9 Prozent auf HK$10,70 und Sinopec schloss um 2,86 Prozent gestiegen bei HK$1,44.

PetroChina considers share issue
Pamela Pun

PetroChina and its partners would fund 35 per cent of the US$5.2 billion (HK$40.56 billion) cost of the West-East natural gas pipeline with equity and the rest through debt, PetroChina vice-president Wang Fucheng said yesterday.

Issuing new A shares on the mainland stock market was one option for raising funds, Wang told a press conference in Hong Kong. He declined to give further details.

PetroChina`s total equity investment in the West-East pipeline project will be US$2.7 billion, Wang said.

The pipeline will have a capacity of 12 billion cubic metres a year, but could eventually be expanded to 18 billion cubic metres.

In 2004, the pipeline will be able to supply 2.8 billion cubic metres, reaching full capacity by 2007.

Wang said market demand would be 18.2 billion cubic metres by 2007 and 20 billion cubic metres in 2010.

He said natural gas would become PetroChina`s new growth engine. This year, it would contribute 5 per cent of profit, rising to 10 per cent in 2005 and 20 per cent in 2020.

Deutsche Bank is advising PetroChina on the project.

In a related development, PetroChina is working with Russian energy experts on a feasibility study to transport natural gas from Russia to northeast China and the Bohai area.

``The project is in the initial stages and has not entered commercial negotiation yet,`` PetroChina spokesman Mao Zefeng said.

Shares in PetroChina closed up HK$0.01 at HK$1.72 yesterday. Sinopec rose 2.9 per cent, to HK$1.44.

NEWS :Petrochina und die Ost-West-Pipeline – II


Wie bereits berichtet, beträgt das Volumen des Projektes 8,5 Mrd. US-$. Davon sollen ca. 65 % durch Anleihen finanziert werden und 35 % durch die Kapitalbeteiligung der Partner. Begleitet und beraten wird Petrochina von der Deutschen Bank. Das Unternehmen wird 2,7 Mrd. US-$ investieren. Um das durchführen zu können, wird laut Unternehmensmeldungen, über eine Kapitalerhöhung nachgedacht. Diese soll dann über Shares an der Börse Shanghai laufen, die nur Investoren aus China zugänglich sind. Diese Entscheidung wäre aber mit hohen Risiken verbunden, da dieser Markt hoch volatil ist. So ist in Shanghai der A – Index um 23 % in den letzten 12 Monaten gefallen. DBS Vickers geht daher eher davon aus, das Petrochina seine eigenen Barreserven nutzen wird und Schuldverschreibungen herausgibt. Wang Fucheng, Executive Director von PetroChina, rechnet nach der Projektfertigstellung mit einer Kapitalrendite von 12 %. Des weiteren wird damit die Marktführerschaft im Erdgas-Bereich ausgebaut.

Petrochina und die Ost-West-Pipeline – III


Im Tarim - Becken im Autonomen Gebiet Xinjiang im Nordwestchina sind bisher Erdgasvorkommen von über 520 Mrd. m² festgestellt worden. Das Tarim-Becken gilt als Hauptquelle für den Erdgastransport der Pipeline. Das Projekt ist vor kurzem angelaufen und zählt zu den Schlüsselprojekten bei der Erschließung Westchinas. Nach Expertenschätzungen aus dem Ministerium für Territoriale Gebiete und Ressourcen soll es im Tarim - Becken insgesamt eine Erdgasmenge von 8,4 Billionen m² geben. Das macht rund 1/4 der Erdgas-Landesvorkommen in ganz China aus. Jährlich sollen rund 12 Mrd. m² Erdgas transportiert werden. Die Erkundungsarbeiten und Erschließungen im Tarim - Becken gehen auf Hochtouren weiter. In den letzten Jahren wurden dort insgesamt 12 Erdgasfelder festgestellt, welche diese Region zur größten Erdgas – Lagerstätte der Welt machte. (il)


Petrochina und die Ost-West-Pipeline – IV


Welche Bedeutung das Projekt hat, wiederspiegelte Teilnahme des Ministerpräsident Zhu Rongji und seinem Vize Wu Bangguo am Donnerstag bei der Projektunterzeichnung. Der Staatspräsident Jiang Zemin übermittelte ein Glückwunschtelegramm. Neben dem Gastransport und der nutzung der Energiereserven Westchinas, soll durch das Projekt gleichzeitig ein Wirtschaftsimpuls in dieser Region erfolgen und zu einem ansteigen des Lebensstandartes führen. Shanghai wird der Endpunkt der Erdgas-Pipeline sein. In der ostchinesischen Metropole hat Erdgas bislang einen Anteil von knapp 1 % am gesamten Energieverbrauch. Die bislang weit verbreitete Kohleverfeuerung trägt wesentlich zur katastrophalen Luftverschmutzung in der Stadt bei. Erdgas aus Westchina soll hier die Kohle als Energieträger ablösen. Die Pipeline soll planmäßig im Jahr 2005 komplett fertig sein. Nach Angaben der Shanghaier Stadtverwaltung soll dann bis 2010 die Kohleverfeuerung in den Stadtbezirken Shanghais im wesentlichen zu Ende gehen. Wie bereits schon beschrieben gehört dieses Projekt zu den 4 wichtigsten in China. Die anderen drei sind die Umleitung von Wasser aus dem Jangtse in die Dürregebiete in Nordchina ( Drei – Schluchten – Programm ), der Stromtransfer von West- nach Ostchina sowie der Bau einer Eisenbahnlinie von Qinghai nach Tibet.
