Petrochina, mein heutiger Kauf
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.

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.

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.

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. Tonnen Öl erreichen. Mit diesem Projekt dringt PetroChina in das "Hoheitsgebiet" des Konkurrenten Sinopec Corp ein.

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.
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.
Morgan Stanley says PetroChina's (0857.HK [News / Quote]) 2007 target appears in line with brokerage's earlier expectations, management's longer-term goals; crude oil production of around 1%, natural gas production of 21% combine for total hydrocarbon production growth of 5%. 'Similarly, output from PetroChina's refineries is targeted to rise by around 5%.' But capex in 2007 to rise 25% to CNY186 billion as company prioritizes preservation of its longer-term production targets above all else. 'Bullish investors with a longer-term investment horizon should seek to accumulate on further weakness over the coming weeks, in our view.' Rates Overweight with HK$10.40 target. Stock down 1.5% at HK$8.60. (SYC) Contact us in Hong Kong. 852 2802 7002; MarketTalk@dowjones.com
Für das schwache Resultat macht Duncan Chan, Analyst von China Everbright Research, vor allem das vierte Quartal mit gefallenen Ölpreisen und gestiegenen Produktionskosten aus. Diese lagen mit 6,74 US Dollar pro Barrel um 28 Prozent über denen vom Vorjahreszeitraum.
Citigroup behält dennoch sein "buy/low Risk" Rating und das Kurs Ziel von 10,80 HKD bei.
Im Augenblick verliert PetroChina um 1,5 Prozent auf 8,60 HKD.

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.
In Hongkong legten PetroChina heute 0,22 Prozent auf 9,0 HK$ zu.
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.
