ExxonMobil has been conducting
exploration activities in China since the
late 1970s. ExxonMobil participated in the
first-ever offshore tender round and was
the first company to acquire exploration
and production rights in northwest China.
ExxonMobil is actively pursuing natural gas
business opportunities in China for pipeline gas
and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
ExxonMobil continues to seek high-quality
opportunities in China where we can
utilize our cutting-edge technologies to
discover and develop new conventional
and unconventional hydrocarbon
resources.
In 2009, ExxonMobil signed long-term LNG
sales and purchase agreements with
PetroChina and Sinopec. PetroChina will
purchase 2.25-million-tonnes-per-year LNG
from ExxonMobil's equity share of the Gorgon
Jansz LNG project in Australia while Sinopec
will purchase 2-million-tonnes-per-year LNG
from ExxonMobil and its co-venturers in the
PNG LNG project in Papua New Guinea.
