Over the past three years, CNOOC (00883.HK) and PETROCHINA (00857.HK) demonstrated strong cash flow generation capabilities, with their CROCI ranking improving among global peers, proving that their valuations should converge, Goldman Sachs said in its report.

Looking ahead, Goldman Sachs projected that they will maintain a top-tier FCF yield of approximately 10%. Goldman Sachs' analysis reinforced CNOOC's leading cost advantage, with its future production assets having a Brent breakeven point as low as about USD30/ bbl. On the other hand, PETROCHINA benefited from strong upstream natural gas profits and enormous cost-saving potential.
