CNOOC Limited (HK0883013259) is extending a shareholding increase plan under which CNOOC Group had invested RMB 652 million by October 8, 2026, according to The Globe and Mail. The update gives investors a concrete measure of support from the controlling shareholder while the company approaches its third-quarter reporting date.
