LNG

China LNG Group Ltd., a Hong Kong-based company with assets along the value chain in mainland China, has said its billionaire Chief Executive Dr. Kan Che (Billy Albert) Kin, was stepping down while the company was also changing its name to better reflect its activities.

China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., known as Sinopec, and an importer of liquefied natural gas cargoes from Queensland in Australia and from the US and Qatar, reported a more than 5 percent first-half increase in domestic natural gas output to partially offset its LNG needs.
