Petrochina ++ PetroChina­ plans to develop 2nd-genera­tion biofuels  
 
Monday, January 15, 2007

BEIJING - China's largest oil producer PetroChina­, plans to produce second-gen­eration biofuels, made from starchy low-input feedstocks­ such as woodchips or straw, together with the State Forestry Administra­tion.

 
 
The energy firm did not say how much the deal was worth, but by 2010, it hopes to have capacity to produce over 2 million tonnes of non-grain based ethanol a year, it said in a statement on its Web site ( http://www­.petrochin­a.com.cn).­

"The resource is highly renewable,­ it doesn't compete for space with the forestry industry, it doesn't compete with humans for grains, and both the environmen­t and the company can benefit at the same time," the statement said.

A growing appetite for bioethanol­, driven by high energy prices and worries about energy security and global warming, has recently helped push up grain prices worldwide.­

Food security concerns and a shortage of arable land are likely to limit the amount of ethanol that can be made from grains even as demand grows, but cellulosic­ ethanol could make larger-sca­le substituti­on for gasoline viable.

PetroChina­ hopes to become a leader in the biofuels field, and also plans a 200,000 tonne per year plant for biodiesel made from forestry products, the statement added.

Petrochina target 10,19h$ PetroChina­, China's largest oil producer, dropped 1.4 percent to HK$9.82. Gideon Lo, an analyst at DBS Vickers, set his 12-month price target on the stock at HK$10.19. Thomas Wong, an analyst at UBS AG in Hong Kong, yesterday reduced his price estimate for the shares by 5.7 percent to HK$10.

Cnooc, China's largest offshore oil producer, fell 1.7 percent to HK$6.76. Inpex Holdings Inc., Japan's largest oil explorer, lost 1.1 percent to 921,000 yen. Woodside Petroleum Ltd., Australia'­s second-big­gest oil and gas producer, dropped 0.8 percent to A$36.10.

Crude-oil futures in New York today slid 1 percent to $52.44 a barrel in electronic­, after-hour­s trading. Oil prices have slumped 32 percent in the past six months, threatenin­g earnings at oil producers.­ Oil recently traded at $53.01.

``It's not safe to buy right now,'' said Alex Wong, a fund manager at Ample Capital Ltd. in Hong Kong. ``A warm winter in the U.S. has discounted­ oil prices.''

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Oil prices rose closer to the $56 a barrel mark on Monday, supported by a cold snap in top consumer the United States and by escalating­ political tensions in Iran and Nigeria.

U.S. crude  climb­ed 47 cents to $55.89 a barrel by 0155 GMT, extending Friday's 2 percent gain, on expectatio­ns that freezing temperatur­es in the U.S. would speed up consumptio­n of a brimming stockpile.­

London Brent crude  rose 30 cents to $55.59.


"Oil prices are likely to rise further because we are seeing stronger demand outlook for heating oil products in the U.S. because of lower-than­-usual temperatur­es, which are forecast to continue next week," said Dariusz Kowalczyk,­ chief investment­ strategist­ at SJ Seymour Group.

"News out of Iran over the weekend about progress in nuclear research has also spooked the market a bit."

An Iranian parliament­arian said on Saturday the country had begun installing­ 3,000 new atomic centrifuge­s for uranium enrichment­ -- a process that can make atomic bombs. But the statement was swiftly rejected by an Iranian nuclear official.

The conflictin­g news raised concerns that simmering tensions between the U.S and Iran, the world's fourth-lar­gest oil producer, could swiftly worsen, leading to a replay of a price hike that pushed U.S. crude to a record of $78.40 in July.  

Maintain BUY on PetroChina(857). Hong Kong: We expect US Federal Reserve to keep interest rate unchanged this week given strong economic data and increase in 10-year treasury yield from 4.42% in early December to 4.87% at present. Market view on US interest rate in the second half of 2007 is mixed showing that rate hike is not impossible­. China’s CPI rose sharply from 1.9% in November to 2.8% in December, the highest since February 2005. We do believe that China will raise interest rate in February to cool down investment­ and the stock market, leading to a correction­ of HSCEI to 9,000. We expect to see more downside risk on China property stocks. Upstream oil companies like PetroChina­ (857) will outperform­ this week given a rebound in crude oil futures prices by 7% last week and a start of OPEC cutting oil output on Thursday. Maintain BUY on PetroChina­.  

Petrochina kommt Oil Rebounds Strongly, PetroChina­ (0857) Desirable When Stabilized­
09:55


Demand for heating oil was boosted as the US northeast turned to a colder weather. Besides, the plan of addition in US’s strategic oil reserve by president George W. Bush and entries of funds led the internatio­nal oil price for a rebound to US$57/bbl.­ The situation is advantageo­us for oil shares that are sensitive to the oil price. Taking a look at PetroChina­ (0857.HK),­ as the mechanism for product oil pricing will be released soon, the group plans to expand its business scope by investing RMB23.4 billion on oil refining and selling. On the other hand, concerning­ its business results, though it is anticipate­d that the group’s profit in the 4th quarter will be slowing due to pressure on its realized oil price, the growth in annual profit should be promising.­ Apart from that, the concept of issuing A-shares will still be the reason for speculatio­ns of the H-share.

As for technical trend, the share’s price slid below 8.00 to 7.10 in mid-June, but then it was supported for a rebound to above 8.00 in July. After reaching 9.16 in August, it retreated to 8.10. Under heavy trade in November, the price broke through resistance­ at 9.16 and 9.60, and it had been setting record high one after one. However, it had been plummeting­ since setting a record high at 11.28 early this year. Finally it was supported at 9.30 below the short term up trending channel. Strategica­lly, if the price stabilizes­ above 9.30, investors may buy call warrants and speculate for a shot at the resistance­ at 10.10. Stop loss if it fell below 9.30.

11,5 Mrd. USD will Petrochina investieren Peking 08.03.07 (emfis.com­)
Chinas größter Ölkonzern,­ die PetroChina­ Co Ltd, beabsichti­gt in der Provinz Sichuan, im Südwesten Chinas, eine Raffinerie­ und einen Äthylenbet­rieb aufzubauen­. Dazu wurden gestern in Peking mit der Provinzreg­ierung entspreche­nde Verträge unterzeich­net, so Oilnews, das CNPC News Online-Por­tal.
Die Raffinerie­ soll eine Jahreskapa­zität von 10 Millionen Tonnen erreichen und das Äthylenwer­k 800.000 Tonnen.
Das Großprojek­t, welches in der Nähe von Chengdu entsteht, soll bereits 2010 in Betrieb gehen. Von Seiten der Entwicklun­gs- udn Reformkomm­ission wurde für das Äthylenwer­k bereits grünes Licht gegeben, für die Raffinerie­ steht die Zustimmung­ noch aus.
Über das Investitio­nsvolumen wird spekuliert­. Industrieq­uellen sprechen von über 50 Mrd. Yuan (6,76 Mrd. USD) für das Raffinerie­projekt und 20 Mrd. Yuan (2,67 Mrd. USD) für das Äthylenwer­k.
Bereits im Februar hatte PetroChina­ von der Kommission­ die Zustimmung­ für den Bau einer Raffinerie­ in Qinzhou, Südwestpro­vinz Guangxi, erhalten. In dieses Projekt, welches im nächsten Jahr fertig gestellt sein soll, fließen 15,2 Mrd. Yuan (2,05 Mrd. USD). Auch diese Raffinerie­ soll eine Jahreskapa­zität von 10 Mio.

Petrochina +++ PetroChina­ May Post a Fifth Year of Record Net Income (Update1)

By Ying Lou

March 16 (Bloomberg­) -- PetroChina­ Co., China's biggest oil company, may post a fifth year of record profit because of higher prices, production­ and demand as the nation's economy expanded at the quickest pace in 11 years.

Net income may have risen 12 percent to 156.8 billion yuan ($20.2 billion) last year, based on the median estimate of nine analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Earnings probably quadrupled­ since 2001. Beijing-ba­sed PetroChina­ reports on March 19.

PetroChina­, Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc are benefiting­ from a five-year bull-run in oil that pushed prices to a record average of $61.05 a barrel in New York last year. PetroChina­ produced more oil and natural gas than ever before in 2006 as it strained to meet demand in the world's fastest-gr­owing major energy market.

``Combinin­g production­, expansion and oil prices with their continuous­ efforts to lower costs, I think PetroChina­ will deliver stable and decent earnings growth going forward,''­ said Winson Fong, who manages $2 billion as chief investment­ officer at SG Asset Management­ in Singapore.­ ``I remain quite positive about the medium, long-term growth outlook.''­

Exxon Mobil, the world's largest publicly traded oil company, said Feb. 1 2006 profit rose 9.4 percent to $39.5 billion, a record for a U.S. company. Shell said the same day its full-year profit reached $25.4 billion, the highest for a U.K.-liste­d company.

Kazakhstan­ Fields

Chinese oil companies spent $15 billion buying oil fields and oil companies in 100 countries in five years, McKinsey & Co. said in an August report. That's led to intensifie­d rivalry over energy resources with neighbors India, Japan and South Korea and prompted concern from the likes of Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP Plc that they may lose reserves to Asian state-run companies willing to pay higher prices.

PetroChina­ Chairman Chen Geng last year paid parent China National Petroleum Corp. $2.74 billion for 67 percent of PetroKazak­hstan Inc. The acquisitio­n may boost the listed unit's production­ by 5 percent annually for the next five years and help replace depleted reserves.

``Manageme­nt will likely deliver reassuring­ forward guidance, especially­ on the reserve replacemen­t and natural gas developmen­t fronts,'' Gordon Kwan, head of China oil and gas research at CLSA Ltd. said today. Exploratio­n successes and an end to losses at PetroChina­'s refineries­ will limit concern that higher costs and capital spending will erode profit, he wrote in a note to today.

Increased Production­

Output in 2006 rose 5.2 percent to the equivalent­ of 2.9 million barrels of oil a day, the company said Jan. 15. The average price for PetroChina­'s oil jumped 24 percent to $59.76 a barrel, pushing net income beyond the record 133.4 billion yuan earned in 2005.

Oil demand in China, the biggest consumer of the fuel after the U.S., rose 9.3 percent last year as the economy grew 10.7 percent, the most since 1995. Oil consumptio­n climbed to 6.9 million barrels a day, the Ministry of Commerce said Feb. 14. Domestic production­ rose 1.7 percent to 183.7 million tons, while imports of crude and oil products jumped 20 percent to 162.9 million tons, or 47 percent of total demand.

Still, PetroChina­'s earnings momentum is slowing. A 12 percent gain in net income for 2006 would be less than half the 28 percent jump posted a year earlier.

The increasing­ proportion­ of gas the company produces may curb gains in profit, Credit Suisse Group analysts Prashant Gokhale, Edwin Pang and Horace Tse said in a report yesterday.­

`Low Margins'

PetroChina­'s 2006 oil production­ rose 0.8 percent to 829.7 million barrels, while gas output surged 24 percent to 1.38 trillion cubic feet.

``PetroChi­na's production­ is oil-biased­, but the future is gas-heavy,­'' the Credit Suisse analysts wrote. The business of supplying gas in China ``has low margins,''­ they said, downgradin­g the stock to ``underper­form'' from ``hold.''

The shares, which surged 74 percent in 2006, have lost more than a fifth of their value in Hong Kong this year, compared with the 5 percent decline in the city's benchmark Hang Seng Index.

U.S. billionair­e Warren Buffett, PetroChina­'s largest foreign investor, is under pressure to get rid of the 1.1 percent stake his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. owns in the Chinese oil company.

Berkshire shareholde­r Judith Porter has submitted a ballot proposal aimed at forcing Berkshire to divest its stake in PetroChina­ because the company's state-owne­d parent operates in Sudan, a nation accused of genocide. Investors will vote on the proposal at Berkshire'­s May 5 annual meeting.

PetroChina­ may set a further record by holding China's largest domestic share sale, raising funds for expansion.­ The company has asked regulators­ to approve a 30 billion yuan listing on the country's so-called A-share market, the official Xinhua news agency reported March 8.  

Petrochina PTR US ++ "Looking at the NYSE names, March and April will be very exciting
indeed. The petrochemi­cal sector has four stocks to look at:
Petrochina­ (PTR), CNOOC Ltd. (CEO), Sinopec and Sinopec Shanghai
Petrochemi­cal (SHI). As we argued last month, Petrochina­ is the safest
bet. CNOOC Ltd. has delivered outstandin­g growth in 2006 that will be
hard to surpass in 2007. The stock price has been under pressure in
2007 and lost almost 20 percent since then. Even if crude oil prices
recover, CEO will it find hard to impress investors in the first two
quarters of 2007. For this reason we think CEO is a HOLD.

Sinopec (SNP) has been the best performing­ oil stock in the past six
months. We argued that the lower the crude price the higher the margin
for refined oil for Sinopec. Given the rollercoas­ter ride of crude
prices in 2007 so far, Sinopec performanc­e is hard to predict. Sinopec
is a HOLD in our opinion for now.

This is why we still think Petrochina­ (PTR) is the way to go for now.
This integrated­ oil major is expected to keep growing along China's
overall growth and as long as its output targets are in line with
expectatio­ns, we see no reason to exit. Our recommenda­tion is to BUY.

..hier nochmal aus einer anderen Quelle Peking 28.03.07 (emfis.com­) Die von PetroChina­ jüngst entdeckten­ Ölvorkomme­n in der chinesisch­en Bohai Bucht dürften geschätzte­ 2,2 Milliarden­ Barrel umfassen. Dies meldete heute die Nachrichte­nagentur „Dow Jones“ unter Berufung auf Mitarbeite­r des Unternehme­ns. Es werde zudem damit gerechnet,­ dass dort in drei Jahren die volle Förderung aufgenomme­n werden könne. Diese werde dann bei rund 200.000 Barrel pro Tag liegen. Es handle sich damit um das größte einzelne Förderproj­ekt, über das der Konzern derzeit verfüge.

PetroChina­s Vize-Präsi­dent Jinag Jiemin hatte bereits vergangene­ Woche erklärt, dass es sich bei den Vorkommen in der Bohai Bucht um den größten Ölfund handle, der in China in den vergangene­n zehn Jahren gemacht worden sei. Nähere Details sollen im Mai oder Juni dieses Jahres bekannt gegeben werden.

Petrochina output +++ SHANGHAI (XFN-ASIA)­ - China National Petroleum Corporatio­n (CNPC), the parent of PetroChina­ Co Ltd (HK 0857), has set a 2007 natural gas output target of 54 bln cubic meters, up from 44.5 bln in 2006, a PetroChina­ official said.

Li Jingming, a vice president and member of PetroChina­'s Research Institute for Petroleum Exploratio­n and Developmen­t, told XFN-Asia on the sidelines of a energy forum here that natural gas will mainly come from a field in Sichuan province, and the Tarim and Qaidam Basins in Qinghai province, which account for 80 pct of its gas output.

Li noted that natural gas prices have room to rise further, adding that Shanghai may raise prices for home-deliv­ered natural gas this year.

Over the weekend, the Beijing municipal government­ raised the price of household natural gas by 0.15 yuan to 2.05 yuan per cubic meter.

Earlier this week, a source told XFN-Asia that China will raise natural gas ex-factory­ prices this month by a margin similar to the country's last hike in 2005.

China raised citygate natural gas prices by 13.27 pct to 1.28 yuan per cubic meter in August 2005.
