油气行业值得关注的几个营商环境问题

Business environment problems of China’s oil and gas industry

我国油气企业的国内外营商环境仍存在一些问题,亟需引起重视。在国内,财政部涉及油气的会计准则(第27号)妨碍中小石油企业勘探投资积极性;国家发改委取消油气开发方案审批易导致破坏性开采;天然气体积计量计价不利于与国际规则接轨和管网公平开放。在国外,我国石油企业海外经营面临着多法律体系、多税务体系和多主权政府监管,需要政府部门牵头与相关东道国商谈,进一步改善我国石油企业的国际营商环境。石油公司在新签订的油气合同中要尽可能引入"法律法规稳定性条款",同时寻求与国际大石油公司开展油气项目合作。

There are still some problems in the domestic and foreign business environment of China’s oil and gas enterprises, for example, in the realm of domestic oil and gas, the No. 27 of the accounting procedure impedes the enthusiasm of the middle to small scale oil companies’ exploration activities. Abandoning of the approval procedure by authorities on the Overall Development Plan may give rise to destructive development to reservoirs. Volume calibration and pricing on natural gas transaction is not conducive to the conformity with international rules and the fair opening of pipeline network. Abroad, the overseas operation of Chinese oil enterprises is faced with multi-legal system, multi-tax system, and multi-sovereign government supervision, which requires government to take the lead and negotiate with relevant host countries to further improve the international business environment of Chinese oil enterprises. Oil companies should introduce legal and regulatory stability clauses as far as possible into new oil and gas contracts and seek to cooperate with major international oil companies in oil and gas projects.
