China's CNOOC in takeover talks with Canadian energy firm: report

Hong Kong (AFP) May 26, 2008
Chinese oil giant CNOOC is in talks with Canadian-based Talisman Energy over a possible takeover deal, a report in Hong Kong said Monday.

CNOOC, China's third largest oil company, is in discussions that could lead to asset sales or a complete takeover, the South China Morning Post said citing unnamed sources.

The report also said that energy giant PetroChina was looking at taking a stake in Santos, the third largest oil and gas company in Australia.

Oil firms have shied away from acquisitions in recent months, waiting for a correction in the record oil price.

But the apparently relentless rise of crude -- which traded at more than 132 US dollars a barrel on Monday -- has led to concern that companies should make a move before potential buys become too expensive, the report said.

Since the death of Turkmen "President for Life" Saparmurat Niyazov, his successor, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, has been adroitly talking to Moscow, Beijing and Washington about exploiting the country's reserves.
