What happened
PetroChina instructed Petro Matad Limited to stop delivering crude oil. Following this order, Petro Matad shut down its Heron-1 and Gazelle-1 wells. PetroChina halted deliveries because its storage tanks were nearly full ahead of China’s national holidays in early October. Petro Matad has escalated the matter to Mongolia’s deputy prime minister.
Why it matters
The dispute over the oil sales agreement caused Petro Matad shares to drop 19%. Petro Matad is currently managing cash while awaiting 2026 oil sales revenue. The stoppage of deliveries affects the flow of crude oil between China and Mongolia.
A forum was held in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, discussing bilateral cooperation between China and Mongolia amidst their shared Northeast Asia context.
