| China's emergence as an industrial and economic power demands large amounts of energy |
| resources. Turning away from the Middle East and focusing on liquefied natural gas (LNG) from |
| Indonesia and Australia, the China National Offshore Oil Corp. (as well as BP) signed an agreement |
| with Fujian authorities to build a 2.6 million-tonne LNG receiving terminal in the eastern coastal |
| province. If approved by Beijing, the facility is scheduled to begin operation by 2006. |

| aviation fuel, importing and marketing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), |
| fuel retailing, solar power installations, joint venture chemical plants and the sales of chemicals |
