Petrochina JV not currently priced in but would be no surprise. Petrochina oil production has been declining over the years having peaked at 25000 bopd. Was 21000 bopd around 4 years ago and now just under 19000 bopd.
Their drop will be offset by increase in Production from Heron which is part of the same giant Oil field. Petrochina started with around 1500 bopd if i remember correctly around 25 years ago before ramping up Production by drilling additional wells as they are pretty cheap / low cost shallow drills. Heron Production is very important feed stock for the 30,000 bopd capacity refinery.
Domestic demand in Mongolia is c 42,000 bopd.
So there is already a shortfall met by imported refined oil currently. Mongolian Govt desperate to get domestic Oil production to increase and fill current shortfall.
