China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC), the state-owned parent company of China’s second-largest oil producer, PetroChina, explores, refines and sells crude oil and natural gas, in addition to manufacturing equipment and offering oil field services. That, coupled with international diversification in recent years, has propelled the behemoth to the No. 4 rank among companies worldwide ­– a position it has held three years running. At the same time, the company is facing pressure due to stricter environmental standards in many markets, as well as tense trade relations between the U.S. and China.
