Description

China Exploration & Production, 2025

Summary

China remains Asia's largest oil and gas producer, with srong upstream resilience driven by national oil companies (NOCs) such as CNPC, Sinopec, and CNOOC. While oil production is set to decline post-2026, natural gas remains stable and central to China's energy transition strategy. Despite geopolitical uncertainty and rising energy security concerns, China continues to invest in mature and offshore fields, supported by enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and reinvestment into low-cost projects. However, exploration is largely internal, licensing is limited, and M&A activity remains domestic and modest.

With declines in onshore production being offset by a ramp-up in offshore and deepwater expansion, Indonesia is keen to continue its E&P activities, and incentivize domestic, and outside investment to do the same. Projects like Geng North, Gendalo-Galang, and renewed investments in Tangguh, will keep up production levels, while ultra-deepwater projects continue to come online.

Today, Pertamina dominates the hydrocarbon sector in Indonesia, but Eni’s acquisitions and drastic growth could reflect a change in market dynamics. Despite all the challenges, Indonesia’s commitment to technological advances to work on maturing fields to increase outputs, increased investments, and ET goals, maintains their status in Southeast Asia, and global energy markets.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
