Looking ahead, the company said it expects 2011 capital expenditures to total 124.1 billion renminbi. It also plans to produce 45.59 million tonnes of crude oil and 14.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas, and process 222 million tonnes of crude oil.
The company's board recommends a final dividend of 0.13 renminbi per share, bringing the 2010 full-year dividend to 0.21 renminbi per share.
