PetroChina to sell stakes in projects


PetroChina to sell stakes in projects

The world's second biggest publicly traded oil company, PetroChina, aims to cut capital expenditure and improve its cash flow by selling minority stakes in its projects. Although it did not specify the amount of stake it will be selling, the firm said that capital raised from partners will both fund overseas acquisitions and also cut the firm's capital expenditure and debt ratio. The first stakes to be offered for sale will be in difficult-to-develop oil reserves, along with oil and gas fields in decline, according to Chinese State run media.
