2.4	Business Review

Despite the continued economic recovery throughout the world during the first three quarters in 2021, there was a divergence in the development trend of different economies due to the impact from the fluctuating cases in the prevention and control of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (the “COVID-19”). There was a rapid recovery of the demand in the international crude oil market, which led to a tight balance in the demand and supply. The international crude oil prices continued to rebound, with the average spot price of North Sea Brent crude oil and the average spot price of the West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil standing at US$67.94 per barrel and US$65.12 per barrel, representing a surge of 65.7% and 70.8% as compared with the same period of last year, respectively. As China managed to bring COVID-19 under effective control, the domestic macro-economy has been improving and developing on a continued basis. The gross domestic product (GDP) of the first third quarters recorded a 9.8% increase on a year-on-year basis. With the gradual uptick in demand in the international crude oil market, the domestic refined oil market has been largely restored to the pre-COVID-19 levels, and the demand for the natural gas market has also been increased rapidly.

The Group promptly captured the favorable opportunity arising from the recovery of the macro-economy, the uptick in the oil and gas market demand and the rebound of international oil prices, and adhered to the five major development strategies, namely innovation, resources, market, internationalization, green and low-carbon, by focusing on high-quality development and proactively following the requirements of achieving the “carbon peak, carbon neutrality” target and also the trend of energy transformation. We also coordinated a range of works, including the prevention and control of COVID-19, production and operation, quality and profitability enhancement, reform and innovation and ESG matters. As the Group insisted on implementing refined management and strengthening its control over cost and expense, the operation of the oil and gas busines, i.e. the two major industry chains, was stable in general, which resulted that the business operation was significantly improved with continuous promising performance and that the Group and all of its four business segments continued to remain profitable. In the first three quarters of 2021, the average realised price for crude oil of the Group was US$62.66 per barrel, representing an increase of 56.4% as compared with the same period of last year, of which the domestic realised price was US$62.62 per barrel, representing an increase of 51.1% as compared with the same period of last year. The domestic average realised price for natural gas was US$5.93 per thousand cubic feet, representing an increase of 4.6% as compared with the same period of last year after excluding the impacts of foreign exchange. According to IFRS, the Group generated a revenue of RMB1,880,341 million, representing an increase of 31.8% as compared with the same period of last year, and a net profit attributable to owners of the Company of RMB75,126 million, representing an increase of 646.3% as compared with the same period of last year. The substantial growth in free cash flows enable the Group to maintain a sound financial position.

In respect of domestic exploration and production business, the Group intensified its efforts in conducting scientific and technological research and development activities and vigorously promoted profitable exploration, with an aim to increasing the economically recoverable reserves. While the Group continued to achieve profitable development and to constantly facilitate on stable production in old oil and gas fields and profitable production construction in new areas, it also adhered to a low-cost development strategy in order to further strengthen its refined control over costs and expenses. By fully taking the advantages in resources, the Group maintained a rapid growth in its natural gas production and expanded in an orderly manner the coverage of its new energy business. In the first three quarters of 2021, the domestic crude oil output from the Group amounted to 561.1 million barrels, representing an increase of 0.3% as compared with the same period of last year. The marketable natural gas output of the Group amounted to 3,136.6 billion cubic feet, representing an increase of 7.9% as compared with the same period of last year. The oil and gas equivalent output was 1,084.5 million barrels, representing an increase of 3.8% as compared with the same period of last year. In terms of its overseas business, having put in place measures for regular epidemic prevention and control, the Group actively and steadily pushed forward the production and operation of key projects and constantly optimised its business presence and asset structure. In the first three quarters of 2021, the overseas crude oil output from the Group amounted to 100.7 million barrels, representing a decrease of 28.7% as compared with the same period of last year. The marketable natural gas output of the Group amounted to 143.9 billion cubic feet, representing a decrease of 16.6% as compared with the same period of last year. The oil and gas equivalent output was 124.7 million barrels, representing a decrease of 26.6% as compared with the same period of last year. These changes were primarily due to the impact brought by the surge in international oil prices, the decrease in product sharing of several overseas projects and production restriction policies in certain countries with resources. The overall crude oil output from the Group amounted to 662.3 million barrels, representing a decrease of 5.6% as compared with the same period of last year. The marketable natural gas output of the Group amounted to 3,280.5 billion cubic feet, representing an increase of 6.5% as compared with the same period of last year. The oil and gas equivalent output was 1,209.2 million barrels, representing a decrease of 0.4% as compared with the same period of last year. The unit oil and gas lifting cost was US$11.36 per barrel, representing an increase of 12.8% as compared with the same period of last year and an increase of 4.5% after excluding the impacts of foreign exchange. The exploration and production segment achieved in the first three quarters of 2021 an operating income of RMB487,479 million, representing an increase of 25.8%, and achieved an operating profit of RMB58,369 million, representing a surge of 191.8% as compared with the same period of last year.

In respect of refining and chemicals business, the Group adhered to the market-oriented and profitability-focused approach. Through optimising our production and operation, the production facilities of the Group were smoothly operated and under control, which resulted that most of the technical and economic indicators were improved on a year-on-year basis. Further, the Group continued to carry out the transformation and upgrading of our refining and chemical business, and optimised in a timely manner its product structure to in line with market demand. At the same time, we vigorously control the oil production and increase the chemicals production, continuously reduced the yield of gasoline and diesel products, adopt a flexible approach in adjusting the ratio of diesel fuel to gasoline, and maintain a high load operation of ethylene as well as other key chemical units. Following the successful completion, and the subsequent commencement of operation of the ethane to ethylene projects in Changqing and Tarim, the Group vigorously enhanced its technological innovation and actively promoted the research and development of new chemical products and materials. We also intensified our marketing efforts and focused on identifying direct sales customers with an aim to increasing to the fullest extent as possible the production and sale of high value-added chemical products. As we further strengthened our control over costs and expenses, we were in position to achieve a continuous reduction in unit processing costs under the rising oil price. In the first three quarters of 2021, the Group processed a total amount of 911.9 million barrels of crude oil, representing an increase of 3.9% as compared with the same period of last year. The Group produced 81.327 million tons of gasoline, kerosene and diesel, representing an increase of 1.4% as compared with the same period of last year. The output of chemical products amounted to 22.695 million tons, representing an increase of 5.5% as compared with the same period of last year. The refining and chemicals segment achieved in the first three quarters in 2021 an operating income of RMB705,811 million, representing an increase of 22.0% as compared with the same period of last year, and an operating profit of RMB31,990 million, representing an increase of RMB33,658 million as compared with the same period of last year, of which the refining operations recorded an operating income of RMB533,190 million, representing an increase of 19.0% as compared the same period of last year, and an operating profit of RMB20,133 million, representing an increase of RMB28,403 million as compared the same period of last year; and the chemical operations achieved an operating income of RMB172,621 million, representing an increase of 32.2% as compared with the same period of last year, and an operating profit of RMB11,857 million, representing an increase of RMB5,255 million as compared with the same period of last year, which hit its historical high for the same period.

In respect of the marketing business, the Group strengthened the connection between production and sales in line with market changes, coordinated and optimized the flow of resources and enhanced the management of the inventory of refined oil products, which effectively benefited sales for upstream production. As we continuously intensified our marketing initiatives, vigorously implemented refined marketing, and proactively identified end customers, we were able to effectively improve the price realization rate. Further, by coordinating the international and domestic markets and optimising the operation of international trade business, the plan for the export of refined oil products was rationalized based on the profitability of such products, resulting in an improvement in the overall profitability of the value chain. We actively achieved innovation in connection with the method of operation of non-oil business and continuously improved the quality of convenience store development, which contributed to a significant improvement in the profitability of the non-oil business on a year-on-year basis. We also continuously strengthened the development of sales network and applied different digital technologies, which include the Internet of Things, cloud platform, big data and artificial intelligence, to actively explore the development of an integrated energy service platform covering “oil, gas, hydrogen, electricity and non-oil business”. As a result, the first integrated energy service station in China officially commenced operation. In the first three quarters of 2021, the Group recorded a sales of 123.694 million tons of gasoline, kerosene and diesel, representing an increase of 2.5% as compared with the same period of last year, of which the domestic sales of gasoline, kerosene and diesel amounted to 84.106 million tons, representing an increase of 8.1% as compared with the same period of last year. The sales segment recorded in the first three quarters of 2021 an operating income of RMB1,557,629 million, representing an increase of 37.8% as compared with the same period of last year, and an operating profit of RMB8,776 million, representing an increase of RMB13,712 million as compared with the same period of last year.

In respect of natural gas and pipeline business, by capitalising on the favourable opportunities arising from the domestic natural gas market with features that the demand remained unabated during low seasons but became excessive during in peak seasons, the Group intensified its efforts in exploring the market and actively optimised its sales structure. We actively identified direct-supply and direct-marketing customers, continued to strengthen the construction of terminal sales network so as to improve the quality of our customer service and to promote to the fullest extent as possible the expansion of sales and increase profitability. Our natural gas sales experienced a significant growth accordingly. These also enabled us to provide a stable and clean low-carbon energy supply for the green and low-carbon economy transformation. Further, the Group continuously optimised our gas resource structure, rationalised our procurement cycle, allocated long-term trade and spot resources in a scientific manner and actively reduced our procurement costs, which resulted in improving our sales profitability. By following the market-oriented and rule-of-law principles, the restructuring of KunLun Energy Company Limited pipeline assets was successfully completed and the transaction was closed. In the first three quarters of 2021, the Group recorded a sales of 198,721 million cubic metres of natural gas, representing an increase of 14.4% as compared with the same period of last year, of which the domestic sales of natural gas amounted to 138,105 million cubic metres, representing an increase of 16.2% as compared with the same period of last year. The natural gas and pipeline segment recorded in the first three quarters of 2021 an operating income of RMB285,023 million, representing an increase of 10.3% as compared with the same period of last year, and an operating profit of RMB36,715 million, representing a decrease of 36.4%, or an increase of 55.1% after excluding the impact of the gains from pipeline restructuring generated in both the current year and also the previous year, as compared with the same period of last year.
