=Chinese Investors Are Unlikely To Make Any Investments Into Cote d'Ivoire's Petroleum Or Natural Gas Industries=

Executive Summary:
It is unlikely that Chinese companies will make any significant investments into either Cote d'Ivoire's petroleum or natural gas production industry. Cote d'Ivoire currently only has discovered minor deposits of petroleum and natural gas. The entire industry only produces 12,000 barrels for export per day. Sinopec currently owns a 27 percent share in Block CI-112, however the block has no producing oil fields.
