PRESIDENT Xi Jinping's overhaul of China's energy industry took a step forward as PetroChina Co announced plans to unload US$2.4 billion in Central Asian pipelines.
The country's biggest energy producer will sell a 50 per cent stake in Trans-Asia Gas Pipeline Co to a unit of China Reform Holdings Corp, another state-owned company that acts as an investment firm charged with revamping government-run entities. Trans-Asia Gas Pipeline operates a 1,830 km system that carries gas through Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to China's far western province Xinjiang.
