ANNOUNCEMENT ON PROGRESS IN RELATION TO
THE DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION INVOLVING CONTRIBUTIONS TO BRIDAS CORPORATION AND THE POSSIBLE ACQUISITION BY BRIDAS CORPORATION
Reference is made to the announcement of CNOOC Limited (the “Company”) dated 28 November 2010 (the “Announcement”) in relation to a discloseable transaction involving the Company making contributions to Bridas Corporation and the Proposed Acquisition by Bridas Corporation.
