(ECNS) -- China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group) has denied reported merger plans regarding another domestic energy giant.

Sinopec spokesman Lv Dapeng said, "We have never heard any internal talk about this case ...... And our principle is to make no comment on rumors."

China is reportedly considering the merger of its state-owned oil and gas companies in a bid to cut costs and streamline operations.

One plan is said to combine China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and Sinopec. Other options include merging Sinopec with China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).
