The handover of ten LNG terminals currently owned by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), Sinopec and China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) is the first step in China&#8217;s planned consolidation of oil and gas pipeline companies into a single large state-owned company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">As early as the end of last year, China began the long-disputed process of merging the infrastructure of state-owned oil and gas pipeline companies into a new group of companies, which analysts estimate to be worth the equivalent of 80 to 105 billion US dollars. The new company is part of China&#8217;s efforts to develop the exploration of new oil and gas fields and increase production with the state-owned energy companies. The consolidation of the pipeline infrastructure into one company would make the company more attractive for domestic and foreign producers. In addition, the oil and gas companies would then be able to concentrate better on the exploration of new oil fields and increase China&#8217;s domestic production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Consolidation Oil Gas Industry China aligncenter wp-image-6931 size-full\" title=\"Consolidation Oil Gas Industry China\" src=\"https:\/\/china-certification.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Consolidation-Oil-Gas-Industry-China.jpg\" alt=\"Consolidation Oil Gas Industry China\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Last year, CNOOC agreed to transfer the operation and management of its pipelines to the new state-owned company. Of the ten LNG terminals that are also scheduled to be handed over soon, seven are currently owned by CNOOC, two by CNPC and one by Sinopec. The new pipeline company will be called China Oil &amp; Gas Piping and will initially manage the ownership and assets while the original companies will remain owners. Following the transfer of the LNG terminals, 11 more LNG facilities will remain in the hands of China&#8217;s three largest oil and gas companies. Safety is particularly important in the oil and gas industry.
