[BEIJING] It was only a matter of time.

China's oil majors are primed to join the latest round of global energy deals triggered by the collapse in energy prices. PetroChina Co, the nation's biggest explorer and producer, said this week it's eyeing targets and in discussions about assets swaps in North America. Its rival, China Petroleum & Chemical Corp, Asia's largest refiner, signaled it's looking at overseas acquisitions.

The country's so-called Big Three oil and gas companies spent nearly US$119 billion from 2009 through 2013, accounting for 13 per cent of global transactions in the industry, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That slowed to a trickle last year. And they haven't spent a dime in 2015, watching from the sidelines as oil collapses and the deals add up.

"There's the international race to pick up cheap assets, so the Chinese don't want to be left out," said Gordon Kwan, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Nomura Holdings Inc. "They have a reasonably strong bunch despite the oil price collapse, as well as cheap access to government loans. They are certainly going to take advantage to buy more strategic oil assets, as well as whole companies." Oil's slump to a six-year low has prompted a wave of acquisitions.

Surprised nobody posted the webcast,well worth listening.

good progress today.

This looks like it just might have broken its 3 year downtrend....
Worth watching now for confirmation of the up tick!!!

wishful thinking i fear .... it's been at this level and higher in the last 2/3 months

Yes many false dawns over several years,however their seems to be a difference?
CPR(a couple of weeks?) should vastly improve P2 reserves,along with revenue(promised)on a regular basis.
This is my understanding of the SP recovery,so fingers crossed.

$15 million payment authorized for September...
