Nomura was positive about the prospects of CHINA OILFIELD.

Given the bright future of the entire sector, the research house maintained CNOOC and CHINA OILFIELD at Buy and the target price of CNOOC was trimmed from $12.5 to $12. Among the three major oil stocks, the research house's top pick was PETROCHINA (00857.HK)  -0.110 (-1.763%)    Short selling $57.22M; Ratio 7.957%   .
