MOSCOW (MRC) -- China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) posted a rise in output during 2013, driven mainly by an increase in overseas production, said Upstreamonline.
China's Xinhua news agency reported the company's output had risen 10.2%, compared to 2012, to 306.65 million tonnes of oil equivalent.

CNPC is planning to further increase production this year to 329.67 million tonnes of oil and gas Xinhua reported, citing CNPC general manager Liao Yongyuan.
