Friday, May 17, 5:31 PM Venezuela reportedly will allow its state-owned energy company to form joint ventures with PetroChina (PTR) and Chevron (CVX) to manage $6B in loans designed to reverse declining oil output. Agreements have been reached on terms of a $2B credit from CVX for the Petroboscan venture and a $4B loan from China for Sinovensa. Similar deals may be in the works with Shell (RDS.A) and Repsol. 5 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]
Wednesday, May 8, 8:39 AM PetroChina (PTR) is in talks to acquire Brazilian oil startup Barra Energia Petroleo e Gas for ~$2B, Bloomberg reports.

Thursday, April 25, 11:24 AM PetroChina (PTR +2%) reports Q1 net profit fell 8% Y/Y to 36B yuan ($5.8B) from 39.15B yuan due to lower realized crude prices and losses in refining and chemical businesses. Crude oil output rose 1.8% to 231M barrels, with the average selling price falling 2.3% to $103.08/bbl. Comment! [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]

Tuesday, March 26, 3:38 PM China will cut domestic prices for gasoline and diesel fuel by ~$50/metric ton effective Wednesday, a move that could hurt consumers and business if prices surge but could benefit refiners.

Thursday, March 21, 8:08 AM PetroChina (PTR) reports a 13% Y/Y decline in 2012 net profit despite increased production, hit by a slowdown in the growth rate of the Chinese economy.

Says it will continue to speed up overseas acquisitions. Comment! [Energy, Global & FX]

It also offers the potential for lucrative contracts for specialist foreign firms such as SLB or HAL. 2 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]
Monday, March 11, 10:40 AM With Australia set to become the world's largest supplier of liquefied natural gas by the end of the decade, PetroChina (PTR) says it is looking to make more deals there, adding to ~$3.7B in acquisitions as part of its drive to feed surging Chinese demand.

Tuesday, March 5, 12:44 PM PetroChina (PTR) says it would be willing to join Exxon Mobil (XOM) in Iraq's giant West Qurna-1 oilfield project, which could see China come to dominate Iraq's oilfields while helping XOM mend fences with the Baghdad government.

Tuesday, March 5, 9:36 AM Jefferies adds four new stocks to its global conviction list: apparel maker Deckers Outdoor (DECK), top China oil producer PetroChina (PTR), payment processor Vantiv (VNTV) and Japanese insurer Tokio Marine (TKOMF.PK, TKOMY.PK). Comment! [Quick Ideas, Global & FX]
