Key for Afghanistan perhaps, but 1.5 million barrels a year isn't exactly key for China, which in 2011 imported roughly 5 million barrels a day. 1.5 million per year would barely be a half drop in a bucket.With the news that the field in Afghanistan is now producing, it looks like CNPC has cemented its position as a key investor in Afghanistan. The 25-year contract the company has signed has it extracting 1.5m barrels per year, and it is currently looking to extract 1,950 per day.
