Petro China (PCCYF), China's No. 1 exploration and

production player, is growing fast, thanks to surging oiland gas demand from the red-hot Chinese economy.

Outside of China, Petro China's image is of a company

rushing around the world trying to snap up oil reserves

wherever it can. But China's biggest energy company,

which controls 75% of the mainland's reserves, has major

domestic exploration programs that enable it to keep

jacking up production of both oil and gas.
