China's largest oil and gas producer moves up a notch on Fortune's
Global 500 list. The company continues to grow despite peculiar
circumstances -- it looks, in many ways, like a multinational, except
it's exposed to the Chinese government's control over oil and gas
prices.
Sinopec, also known as China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., posted a 25% increase in first-quarter net profits in April, beating out competitor PetroChina thanks to Sinopec’s extensive distribution network in the country. It’s also acquiring aggressively outside China -- this past June, Sinopec bought Marathon Oil's stake in an Angolan oil and gas field, which should boost its production by 14,600 barrels-per-day.
