Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Petrochina (NYSE: PTR), PT HK17.

Analyst, Lana Yu, said, "PetroChina's 1H12 net income of Rmb62B missed street ests by 3% and our ests by 8%. Disappointment versus our estimates was largely a result of lower earnings from the pipeline segment, likely caused by overestimating volumes delivered by the WEII Pipeline to Guangdong. Though PetroChina has been a frustrating stock, we believe energy fundamentals demand repricing of natural gas."
