China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)
CNPC is one of the top three oil and gas producers globally and among the largest energy companies in China alongside China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and Sinopec. CNPC is the parent company of PetroChina, the largest oil producer by volume and one of the top earning companies in Asia. Operating in over 30 countries and leading the industry in terms of production, sale and exploration, CNPC’s highly experienced in-house legal team is adept at the commercial, regulatory and corporate legal challenges of managing a state-owned multinational Chinese company and is an industry leader in terms of its output. This year, CNPC and Gazprom concluded a cooperation agreement designed to avoid the repetition of mutually beneficial research and ensure smooth trade operations and mutual recognition on conformity assessments.
