CNOOC Aims 60m LNG Imports in 15 yrs

China's offshore oil and gas specialist China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) plans to boost its imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to 60 million tons a year in 15 years, Reuters reported.

China depends on coal for more than 70 percent of its energy needs.

Cnooc Net Rises to Record on China Demand, Oil Prices

Cnooc Ltd., China's biggest offshore oil producer, said first-half profit rose 38 percent to a record because of soaring energy prices and demand in the world's fastest-growing major economy. Net income increased to 16.3 billion yuan ($2.04 billion), or 0.39 yuan a share, from 11.8 billion yuan, or 0.29 yuan, a year earlier, the company said in a statement today.

China's third-largest oil company increased profit at a faster pace than bigger rivals PetroChina Co.
