CHINA National Petroleum Corp, the country's largest oil producer, promoted Zhou Jiping to chairman, Xinhua news agency said yesterday.

He previously worked in the International Exploration and Development Cooperation Bureau of CNPC and at the subsidiary China National Oil & Gas Exploration & Development Corp.

PetroChina fell 1.9 percent to HK$9.49 (US$1.22) in Hong Kong. Xinhua reported Zhou's appointment after the close of regular trading.
