An Empirical Analysis on the Prediction of Chinese Financially Distressed Listed Companies

This paper presents an in-depth analysis of financially distressed listed companies in China between 1998 and 2002. We compare the predictive power of multiple discriminant analysis （MDA）, logistic regression, and neural network models. We design and implement 126 different forecasting models using different predictive methods, different sample proportions, and different initial independent variables. The aim is to determine which model（s） and variables are best applicable for the short-term prediction of financial distress in China. We find that logistic regression models are superior to multiple discriminant analysis models in terms of prediction accuracy rate, restriction of sample distribution or prediction cost, but the neural network models show promise in their low Type I and Type II errors. The paper also inherently tests the applicability of variables traditionally used for bankruptcy prediction to the purpose of financial distress prediction in China.

Through analysis of four aspects,including the distribution and production of global oil and gas fields,the distribution and changes of remaining recoverable reserves,the differences in oil and gas production between regions/countries,and the development potential of oil and gas fields with production capacity not built and to be built,this paper presents the situation and trends of global oil and gas development in 2022.It is found that,in 2022,oil and gas fields are widely distributed worldwide,and upstream production activities continue to recover;the oil and gas reserves decrease slightly year on year,and the oil and gas reserves in sea areas increase significantly;the oil and gas production increases continuously,and the key resource countries make a significant contribution in oil and gas production growth;the oil and gas fields with production capacity not built and to be built hold abundant reserves,and their development potential will be gradually released with the economic benefits increase.Further analysis is conducted from the perspectives of global oil and gas resources continuity,geopolitical risks,potential of international cooperation,and upgrade of unconventional oil and gas technology.Finally,in view of core business domains and strategies under the new situation,the Chinese oil companies are recommended to:(1)keep a foothold in onshore conventional oil and gas development by virtue of their comparative advantages and learning from other’s experience in cooperation;(2)carry out pilot tests on development adjustment,and deepen the international cooperation in enhanced oil/gas recovery;(3)improve the oil and gas operation capabilities in sea areas to transform from follower as minority shareholder to joint venture and then to independent operations;and(4)seek appropriate ways for shale oil/gas development to reduce the dependence on foreign oil and gas.

Progress in Foreign Cooperation of China's Oil Industry

In 2015, China＇s oil companies＇ overseas equity oil has grown steadily to approximately 150 million tonnes. State-owned oil majors have turned from scale-oriented to profit-oriented by adjusting investment speed and optimizing portfolio to improve operating profit of overseas business. The overseas investment of private oil companies mainly focused on two fields： the first is to invest in countries along the Belt and Road （the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road）, and the second is to enter the oil industry of the developed countries by M＆A. Limited progress has been made in ＆e foreign cooperation of domestic upstream sector, while new changes emerged in the foreign cooperation of upstream sector. Some planned projects were postponed or delayed due to domestic or international market changes. Private oil companies, however, began to cooperate with foreign companies in the downstream sector after the former got the right to import crude oil.

The energy transition of the Chinese national oil companies towards renewables:An opportunity or a bottleneck?

Renewable energy is the fastest growing energy source.China,the world’s biggest energy consumer,is also the largest investor in renewable energy.Although it is expected that oil will continue to dominate the energy mix in China and in the world by 2040,a transition towards a renewable model in the energy sector is unfolding,which has also been acknowledged by international oil companies(IOCs).Then,how the Chinese national oil companies(NOCs)approach such a transition becomes important–to what extent their investment transform and what are the pressures and influences behind the transformation.This paper investigates the positions and decisions taken by the Chinese NOCs,through comparing the similarities and differences between these NOCs and IOCs.A neo-Gramscian theoretical framework that considers environmental governance through dynamics at material,organisational,and discursive levels is used to examine the Chinese NOCs’energy transition.We find that the Chinese NOCs’energy transition is determined by:materially,economic profits;organisationally,the administrative environmental governance structure that copes with the market competition against IOCs and other stateowned companies;and discursively,the political concept of ecological civilisation.
