China’s CNPC appoints Zhang Wei as general manager

The outgoing president of chemicals giant Sinochem Group, Zhang Wei, has been appointed to take the helm of China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC).
In an announcement on Saturday (link in Chinese), China’s largest state-owned oil and natural gas producer said its next president would be 50-year-old Zhang, who has worked at Sinochem Group Co. Ltd. for more than two decades. No date was given for Zhang to commence his tenure.
CNPC has been headless since last month when previous president Zhang Jianhua was named head of the National Energy Administration, the government department which makes energy policy.
