China’s oil and gas sector is enormous, yet is under increasing pressure to expand further. BP’s latest statistical review of world energy outlines that China had 26.2 billion barrels of proven oil reserves at the end of 2019, representing just over 30 months of domestic consumption. As China’s rapidly growing consumption patterns hit a new record high of more than 14.1 million barrels per day in 2019, and the dependency rate on imported oil and gas reached 70.8% and 43% respectively, the Chinese government has consistently stressed the immediate need to increase domestic exploration and production.

 

At the same time, China is working hard to improve the environmental performance of its domestic energy sector and realize significant efficiency gains. With President XI’s commitment of carbon neutral target by 2060, China is committed to leading the global transition to a lower-carbon economy and is aiming to optimize its energy mix, improve the environmental performance of industry, and increase efficiency via new investments in infrastructure.

 

Canadian firms are well-positioned to support China’s long-term energy objectives across all facets of the oil and gas sector, including increased bilateral trade and investment in energy products, technology and services, and expertise. Technologies and services that reduce the energy and water intensity of resource extraction, provide soil & water treatment solutions and GHG emission-related technologies are all being sought by all players in China’s domestic industry.

 

In addition to cooperation in the Chinese market, as Chinese energy firms continue to expand their international operations, there will be more opportunities for Canadian and Chinese firms to advance projects in third markets. Currently Chinese firms operate roughly 210 oil and gas projects outside of China.
