Bypassing domestic monopoly giant private oil companies

Saudi Arabia has committed $300 million to a new investment initiative, but many private oil companies remain cautious, with experts warning that the risks involved are too high. Yesterday, crude oil prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange surged to $70.80 per barrel at the market's opening, sending shockwaves through China's private oil sector. The soaring prices have intensified concerns among independent Chinese oil companies, prompting them to seek alternative strategies for securing stable energy supplies. At a recent meeting titled “China Petroleum Industry Investment Fund and China Petroleum Industry International Industry Investment Alliance Briefing Meeting,” industry leaders discussed a potential shortcut known as the “equity change source.” Cui Xinsheng, chairman of Beijing Minsheng Shanglian International Petroleum Energy Consultant Company, introduced this plan as a key solution to China’s energy challenges. The “equity change source” involves Chinese private oil companies in the middle and lower tiers exchanging equity with firms in neighboring and oil-exporting countries to secure long-term energy supply. This approach aims to create a collective investment model where private enterprises can invest in their own assets, such as building small-to-medium oil terminals, transportation systems, storage facilities, refineries, and retail outlets. Cui revealed that the initial oil industry investment fund is structured around a platform (coalition), an axis (fund), two markets (domestic and international), and a route (equity change plan). The China Petroleum Industry International Investment Alliance is evolving into an energy alliance, aiming to compete for hundreds of quality companies before the release of wholesale rights in 2006. In the coming months, the alliance plans to collaborate with agencies in Malacca to research the “Malacca Strategy” and establish energy cooperation routes connecting the Middle East, Malacca, and China. The China Fund Forum, Beijing Minsheng Alliance International Energy Consultant, GCCIE, and SAGIA have formed the China Petroleum International Industrial Investment Alliance (CIPIU) and will launch the “China Petroleum Industry Investment Fund (ICCPI)” to support the “equity swap source” initiative. Currently, over 30 domestic private oil companies and numerous energy firms from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Gulf states, Singapore, and Australia have shown interest. Saudi Arabia’s General Investment Agency has also signed a $300 million investment agreement. Yang Yuanhua, a researcher at Xinhua News Agency’s World Problems Research Center, suggested that the term “market-for-resources” might be more accurate. He emphasized that the fundamental solution to China’s energy issue lies in pursuing a market-driven approach. However, due to incomplete domestic mechanisms, private enterprises face significant restrictions in accessing the oil sector. Han Xiaoping, executive vice president of China Energy Network, believes that while China’s oil demand remains strong, oil from countries like Saudi Arabia, Brunei, and Indonesia struggles to reach the domestic market directly. Instead, multinational oil giants profit from the middlemen. The “equity change plan” allows oil companies to connect directly with end-market consumers, creating a win-win situation. Despite optimism from many experts, most companies attending the meeting remain cautious. Cai Daren, chairman of Shanghai Yadong International Freight Co., Ltd., warned that the high volatility of global oil prices makes the equity exchange risky, with uncertain return timelines. Yao Tongxin, vice president of China Finance & State-Owned Enterprises Investment Co., Ltd., questioned how private oil assets would be integrated and what the process of setting up foreign funds would look like. He also pointed out that the concept of “equity change source” is still unclear. Chen Wei, deputy general manager of Beijing Heterogeneous Petroleum Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd., noted that China’s current oil policy is skewed. Even if oil is sourced overseas, private companies can only sell it to state-owned giants like PetroChina and Sinopec, as they lack wholesale rights. “The problem isn’t that there’s no oil in the world; it’s that private companies can’t access it,” Chen said. He added that if the market becomes more liberalized, private companies could buy oil directly from the market rather than relying on equity swaps. But without proper policies in place, he questioned what would happen if they managed to secure overseas oil.
