In recent years China has emerged as the world's sixth-largest oil producer and as Asia's largest oil exporter. As a result, attention has become increasingly focused on prospects for the rapidly growing petroleum industry. Although much of this attention has been directed towards foreign involvement in the development of offshore resources, the most dramatic changes have been taking place onshore, in the newly revitalized petroleum extraction and refining industries. This book takes a new look at China's position in the Asia-Pacific and international markets, defines the recent structural changes in these markets, and examines the impact of the Chinese industry on trade, pricing, and the regional refining industry. China's current energy policy is briefly discussed, followed by an examination of both the petroleum and refining industries, including a look at China's options for deriving the more valuable fuels from their heavy domestic oil.
