Capitalizing on China’s steady economic growth, Sinopec Corp. achieved remarkable performance across all businesses and recorded a historical high in operational results despite a challenging operating environment. In 2010, we expanded our resources and markets, optimized operations and enhanced management. In Exploration & Production (“E&P”) business, we accelerated the implementation of our resource strategy, devoted greater efforts in exploration and development and realized continuous increase in reserves and production. Since the official launch of the Sichuan-East China Gas project, our natural gas business has achieved robust growth. In Refining business, we maintained high-load operation, upgraded oil products quality and met the increasing demands from the marketplace. Our Chemicals business took a faster pace to adjust product mix and develop new products and through introducing new capacities and reaping benefits from our centralized sales system, the segment recorded satisfying profit. In Marketing business, we further developed our business by entering new geographic areas, consolidating our existing networks and connections, and rapidly expanding the non-fuel business. We enhanced our ability in global sourcing to ensure crude supply and made a breakthrough in overseas oil and gas business. Our debt structure has also been optimized, thus improving the financial position and asset quality. |
