Report summary
CNOOC is the largest LNG importer in China, accounting for 63% of the country's LNG imports in 2016. The NOC is facing strong competition from emerging buyers that have started importing cargoes in eastern and southern China. This has motivated CNOOC to rely on the spot market and to take cheap spot cargoes to dilute its expensive contracted volumes. Although China's gas demand recovery so far has mainly come from the northern provinces, CNOOC's long-term growth potential remains substantial as the coal-to-gas switching policy is likely to expand to southern provinces.
