Bureau likely to benefit sector

Editor's note: China International Petroleum & Petrochemical Technology & Equipment Exhibition (CIPPE), the nation's largest oil equipment expo, opened in Beijing on Monday. Over 800 businesses will attend the three-day event.

Recent reform of the nation's energy administration will boost the oil equipment sector, a senior energy official said yesterday.

"The new National Energy Bureau will provide more market-oriented services to the country's oil equipment manufacturers to improve the industry," Zhou Xi'an, director of the Office of the National Energy Leading Group, said.
