Zhang Yue, chairman of the National Association of Industry and Commerce Petroleum Industry Chamber of Commerce, held at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce Petroleum Industry Chamber of Commerce, urged private oil companies to respond to the national call to “go out”.

Zhang Yue believes that since the beginning of this year, the development of private oil companies has faced a series of survival problems such as increasingly fierce international and domestic competition and increasingly tight supply of raw materials. However, private oil companies that have fought for many years cannot stand still and must actively go out. Find a new way out. The world’s oil system is open and there are many opportunities for “going out” and it is in the national interest.

It is understood that in October this year, the Petroleum Industry Chamber of Commerce has organized a group of privately-owned oil companies to visit oil-producing countries such as Brazil and Colombia. They have had preliminary contacts with relevant local industrial associations and enterprises, and they have had cooperation intentions in refueling equipment. . In early November, the National Association of Industry and Commerce Petroleum Chamber of Commerce had also called for a modest liberalization of the import of crude oil and refined oil to private enterprises, ensuring the oil sources of the majority of private oil refining companies, establishing a diversified oil supply system and a market-based oil pricing mechanism. Enable private enterprises to participate more equally in market competition.

Zhang Yue said that the Chamber of Commerce of the Petroleum Industry will actively promote two major events next year: First, to continue to harmoniously and reasonably appeal for the reform of the petroleum system so as to make it more in line with the country’s oil strategic interests; second, to appeal to private enterprises to respond in the new year. The country’s call for “going out” will be the main theme for the work of the Chamber of Commerce next year. The association will continue to organize related companies to go abroad for inspections and explore cooperation models in oil sources, equipment, and refining and chemical industries. From a preliminary perspective, the export of oil-related equipment and investment in factories may be a breakthrough.

Seeing the “going out” of China's private oil companies, many people’s first impression is that the current oil market in China is monopolized by the three barrels of oil: PetroChina, Sinopec, and CNOOC, so the “going out” of private oil companies is a The only helpless choices were made. Han Xiaoping, the special commentator of the Voice of Economy and chief information officer of China Energy Network, believes that although it is very important for private enterprises to go out, it is more important to open quotas for private enterprises to import crude oil.

Han Xiaoping: Now that the quota for them is too small, even if they go out and oil is not allowed to be shipped back, then there is still no market, or it cannot solve the fundamental problem. Therefore, the most important thing for the reform is to further open up the market, so that more private enterprises can get oil abroad and bring the oil back to their own refining, thus truly forming a competitive pattern.

Han Xiaoping also said that the formation of a competitive landscape is also a good thing for three barrels of oil.

Han Xiaoping: If private enterprises can go out, they can find some resources because they have relatively small goals and relatively cheap resources. Then they can sell three barrels of oil and three major oil companies. Because the three major oil companies have too big goals, it is actually very difficult to get oil overseas. As soon as the oil is obtained, the other party’s Congress makes such a request. Knowing that they are state-owned enterprises and representing the Chinese government will make many unrealistic demands, leading us to be very passive in many negotiations. Therefore, private enterprises opened their way ahead, and state-owned enterprises followed suit. He was a complementary relationship. Therefore, the most important problem of solving private enterprises now is not whether or not they are allowed to go out, or whether their oil can be shipped back. ,is the most important.

If private enterprises can go out and the oil can be shipped back, then is it possible to change the current pattern of the domestic oil market? Han Xiaoping said that once the market is opened and competition is intensified, everyone will complain about the two major oil companies. cut back. In addition, due to the emergence of competition, it can help the two major oil companies to absorb part of the excess labor force, allowing them to develop more toward their own advantages and long-term advantages, and let some private companies with relatively thin profits and more fierce competition. Let private enterprises have more room. Only in this way can the market allocate resources effectively, can it further promote the profitability of the two major oil companies, and at the same time promote private enterprises so that private enterprises can be well developed.

Facing the increasingly fierce international and domestic competition and the increasingly tight supply of raw materials, it is of course a very good thing to be able to bring more oil back. However, the premise is that private enterprises must go out first and abroad. Seek development. Han Xiaoping believes that if private enterprises are completely independent of the domestic market and are only going abroad to develop, there is no problem. Private oil companies can use their funds to bid overseas, and then use some relatively domestically integrated technologies to explore and develop oil overseas, and finally gain a share. The problem now is that private enterprises are more likely to still want to integrate their domestic resources with overseas markets. That is, the oil they receive can eventually be shipped back, and they can be brought back into the refinery and finally into retail sales. In the system.

Han Xiaoping: This may also require the cooperation of the government. If the country does not open their markets for refined oil crude oil imports, then even if they get oil overseas, they won't be able to get it back. The paradox now is not whether they are developing overseas, but whether their oil can be shipped back.
