I.

Mutual Supply and Cross Supply of Crude Oil

 

  1.

Mutual supply of crude oil: In 2014, PetroChina shall supply Sinopec with 4.08 million tons of domestic onshore crude oil, including 2.25 million tons of blended oil produced at the Daqing Oil Region (including replacement crude oil of 0.15 million tons), 0.70 million tons of oil produced at the Jizhong Oil Region, 1.10 million tons of oil produced at the Changqing Oil Region, and 30,000 tons of oil produced at PetroChina Zhejiang Exploration Company.

In 2014, Sinopec shall supply PetroChina with 1.881 million tons of domestic onshore crude oil, including 0.40 million tons of blended oil produced at the Tahe Oil Region, 0.50 million tons of oil produced at the Chunguang Oil Region, 0.40 million tons of oil produced at the Chunfeng Oil Region, 45,000 tons of oil produced at the Yanqi Oil Region, 0.53 million tons of oil produced at the Shengli Oil Region, and 6,000 tons of natural gas condensate produced at the Western Sichuan Oil Region of Sinopec Southwest Company.

The above 1.10 million tons of oil produced at the Changqing Oil Region supplied by PetroChina to Sinopec shall include 0.50 million tons of oil supplied in exchange for Sinopec’s supply of the equal amount of oil produced at the Chunguang Oil Region. The parties shall implement such crude-oil exchange strictly on an equal-amount basis and shall ensure the free flow of their respective downstream operations of the oil regions and ensure the resource supply to their respective refineries. In case either party fails to supply the agreed amount in full, the other party may reduce its supply by an equal amount.

 

  2.

The parties hereto shall, in principle, make available crude oil of the above supply and take delivery thereof on an evenly distributed basis. The quarterly mutual supply of crude oil may be adjusted as necessary by mutual agreement thereon and in light of the availability of crude oil resources, price and the State’s macro-economic planning requirements.

After the quarterly plans have been issued to the respective subsidiaries, PetroChina’s relevant regional companies (including its oil fields, refineries and pipeline companies) and Sinopec’s relevant subsidiaries (including its oil fields and refineries) will enter into specific sales and purchase contracts. The total quantities and varieties of crude oil to be supplied under such contracts shall be consistent with those specified under the above quarterly supply agreements.
