Deal as follows: CNOOC , one of China's major oil companies (Hong Kong listed, HK$788 billion market cap), acquires control in Soco International plc (London listed, market cap GBP 1.1 billion). Interest confirmed by Mr. Fang Zhi , the President of CNOOC International - see below. Have not discussed details with him, but we can help them by getting it done and fronting the deal etc. I attach Annual and Half Year Report on target. Can you structure so we make tons of $...? Do we also involve JPM? I need to get back to him asap. When can we discuss ? When can I call you ?

Fangzhi 2010-11-04 18:22 Dear David, Oil Update Thank you very much for the information. I will have my team looking into this and come back to you shortly. Best Regards, Fangzhi. David Stem - 2010-11-02 03:52 SE Re: Nil: Dear Fangzhi, As mentioned, please very confidentially have a look at Soco International plc This is an oil and gas exploration and production company, headquartered in London, traded on the London Stock Exchange with interests in Vietnam, the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa) and Angola. Would this be an asset of interest for CNOOC ? We are internally reviewing this company and feel CNOOC may benefit greatly from this. I attach the Half Year Results 2010 and Annual Report 2009. I look forward to your comments!
