HONG KONG - China’s largest refiner, the fully- state owned China Petrochemical Corporation, more commonly known as Sinopec Group, is playing a salvage role in the case of troubled Australian oil producer AED Oil. Sinopec has agreed to pay 600 million Australian dollars ($594 million) to take a 60% stake in its oil-producing properties.

Who knows, perhaps the reporter made an assumption or perhaps he contacted someone at Sinopec.
