PetroChina is discussing selling a stake in domestic gas pipelines worth an estimated US$47 billion, according to reports.
PetroChina produces two-thirds of China's natural gas and controls nearly 80% of the country's 90 000 km of gas pipelines.
Beijing is expected to announce a reform package in the coming weeks that targets its vast energy sector, part of a broader restructuring drive to boost efficiency and bring in private investment.
The pipelines for sale include three trunklines running from the country's far west to its eastern and southern shores.
