PetroChina

Incorporated in 1999, the company headquartered in Beijing, China, operates in several key business segments. These include Exploration & Production, where the focus is on oil and natural gas exploration, development, production, and sales. The Refining & Chemicals segment deals with refining crude oil, production of petroleum products, and manufacturing and selling of chemical products. Another critical area of operation is the Natural Gas & Pipeline segment, which encompasses the transmission of natural gas, crude oil, and refined products, along with the sale of natural gas. Lastly, the Marketing segment involves the retail and wholesale distribution of refined products. While "PetroChina" serves as the company's significant recognition marker in the industry, the firm largely works as a B2B entity within the energy sector rather than adopting a conventional consumer brand strategy. With a dominant presence in China, PetroChina also maintains a footprint in international markets, undertaking exploration and production activities in nations such as Kazakhstan, Venezuela, and Canada, with the sale of products in various international markets subject to shifting business strategies and worldwide market conditions.
