With doubts of Canada's govt approving CNOOC's $15b takeover for Nexen Energy (due to Canada not approving a similar deal Petronas takeover of Progress Energy), has led CNOOC in taking a pre-emptive move in buying a 25% stake in QGC's Gladstone project for $6b USD.
This reinforces CNOOC is here in Australia to stay, with QGC and EXE interests.

CHINA has agreed to make one of its biggest recent investments in Australia, with China National Offshore Oil Corp inking a $US6 billion ($5.7bn) deal to take a one-quarter stake in BG Group's Queensland Curtis LNG project being built at Gladstone to export coal-seam gas.
Associated with the deal is a $US60bn-plus LNG supply deal, where CNOOC will buy five million tonnes a year of LNG from BG's global gas portfolio for 20 years, making the British company the biggest supplier of the fuel to China.
