New Chinese Star sells first Russia Oil from $9 Billion Rosneft Deal
Published in Amwal Al Ghad on 22 - 11 - 2017

A Chinese firm that's grown from a small local trader to a global deal-making juggernaut sold its first cargo of Russian crude after buying a $9 billion stake in Rosneft Oil Co.
CEFC China Energy Co. sold a cargo of Sokol crude from the Sakhalin region for January loading, according to traders who asked not to be identified. It's the first sale of oil that the company will get access to as part of the September Rosneft deal. Under the agreement, the Russian energy giant will supply the Shanghai-based firm with as much as 60.8 million metric tons over five years.
The supplies are set to help CEFC stamp its mark on the oil-trading market as it pursues global ambitions that span everything from energy to metals and ports. Apart from Sokol, the Chinese company has access to other grades — it's marketing East Siberia-Pacific Ocean oil, known as ESPO, from eastern Russia, as well as Urals out of the Black and Baltic seas. The firm also secured a 4 percent stake in Abu Dhabi's largest oil concession in February.
Last month, in a note running longer than 12,000 Chinese characters that touched on everything from Chinese history and philosophy to the future of fossil fuels, CEFC Founder and Chairman Ye Jianming justified purchasing the Rosneft stake from Glencore Plc and Qatar's sovereign wealth fund. While there's a risk oil may slide below $30 a barrel as its displaced by alternative energy sources, it will still be used to make petrochemicals, he said.
