How it started
History
In 2007, CITIC Resources acquired oil assets in Kazakhstan and Northeast China from its parent, CITIC Group, for US$1.15 billion. This strategic shift transformed the company from a metals-focused entity into an energy producer. CITIC Resources has since positioned itself as one of the leading Chinese oil producers after PetroChina, Sinopec, and CNOOC.
