Global crude prices averaged $105 a barrel in the first six months, 62% higher than in 2021, providing a windfall to producers after several years of depressed prices. PetroChina has invested heavily in maintaining steady oil production while boosting gas output to match the country’s goal of tapping into cleaner fuels.
