The paper analyzes whether these companies pursue commercial interests of their shareholders or political will of national governments. To answer this question the author examines Chinese and Indian corporations’ organization and ownership structure foundations of which were laid in the 1990s when both countries’ energy sectors faced structural reforms resulted in transforming archaic governmental organizations into modern competitive state-owned corporations that could compete with the leading Western oil and gas companies. The article also scrutinizes competition between Chinese and Indian companies so as to find out if it is able to affect political relations between Beijing and Delhi, exacerbates existing conflicts or cause the emergence of the new ones. To address this issue the author analyzes some cases of Sino-Indian clash of energy interests in different regions of the world.Статья посвящена политике китайских и индийских национальных энергетических компаний по приобретению зарубежных нефтегазовых активов, проводимой на протяжении последних двух десятилетий. В работе ставится вопрос - лежат ли в основе инвестиционной политики коммерческие интересы акционеров или воля политического руководства двух стран. Чтобы ответить на него, автор исследует организацию китайских и индийских государственных нефтяных компаний и их структуру собственности, основы которых были заложены в 1990-х гг., когда в национальных энергетических секторах Индии и Китая были проведены кардинальные преобразования, позволившие превратить архаичные административно-командные структуры в современные госкорпорации, способные конкурировать с ведущими западными нефтегазовыми компаниями. Особое внимание в статье уделяется конкуренции между китайскими и индийскими компаниями, исследуется проблема - способна ли эта конкуренция повлиять на политические отношения между Пекином и Дели, а также спровоцировать эскалацию существующих конфликтов или появление новых. Для ответа на этот вопрос автором был проанализирован ряд показательных проектов в различных регионах мира, в рамках которых столкнулись интересы нефтегазовых компаний из Китая и Индии.ChinaIndiaenergy sectorenergy securityoil and gasКитайИндияэнергетическая безопасностьнефть и газ1.Bloomberg.
