PetroChina Company Limited (; ) is a Chinese oil and gas company and is the listed arm of state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), headquartered in Dongcheng District, Beijing.〔"(Contact Us )." PetroChina. Retrieved on July 8, 2010. "Address: 9 Dongzhimen North Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, P.R.China."〕 It is China's biggest oil producer.〔 Traded in Hong Kong and New York, the mainland enterprise announced its plans to issue stock in Shanghai in November 2007,〔(Analysts express optimism about Chinese shares ) (Xinhuanet.com, with source from ''Shanghai Daily'')〕 and subsequently entered trading on the Shanghai index. == History == PetroChina was established as a joint stock company with limited liabilities under the Company Law of the People's Republic of China (the PRC) on November 5, 1999, as part of the restructuring of CNPC. In the restructuring, CNPC injected into PetroChina most of the assets and liabilities of CNPC relating to its exploration and production, refining and marketing, chemicals and natural gas businesses. Although PetroChina is the most profitable company in Asia, this success may be the result of corporate management, but can also be attributed to the near duopoly on the wholesale and retail business of oil products it shares with Sinopec in China. Because of Sinopec's link to Sudan through parent company China Petrochemical Corporation, several institutional investors such as Harvard and Yale decided, in 2005, to divest from Sinopec. Sudan divestment efforts have continued to be concentrated on PetroChina since then.〔(Response to Berkshire Hathaway's statement on its holdings in PetroChina Company Limited ), Sudan Divestment Task Force, 2007-02-23.

On August 19, 2009, PetroChina signed an A$50 billion deal with ExxonMobil to purchase liquefied natural gas from the Gorgon field in Western Australia,〔Stephen McDonell, August 19, 2009, (Record gas deal between China and Australia - AM ) - Australian Broadcasting Corporation〕〔Babs McHugh, August 19, 2009, (Massive sale from Gorgon Gas Project ) - Australian Broadcasting Corporation〕 considered the largest contract ever signed between China and Australia, which ensures China a steady supply of LNG fuel for 20 years, and also forms as China's largest supply of relatively "clean energy".〔David McLennan, August 20, 2009, (Australia to be 'global supplier of clean energy' ) - The Canberra Times〕〔August 20, 2009, (CNPC to import 2.25m tons of LNG annually from Australia ) - ChinaDaily (Source: Xinhua)〕 This deal has been formally secured, despite relations between Australia and China being at their lowest point in years, following the Rio Tinto espionage case and the granting of visas to Rebiya Kadeer to visit Australia.〔Peter Ryan, August 19, 2009, (Deal means 2.2 million tonnes exported per year - AM ) - Australian Broadcasting Corporation〕 PetroChina's Dushanzi District refinery became fully operational on September 24, 2009.
