Chinese energy group Sinopec is in talks with Britain's BP over potentially collaborating in the exploration and development of shale gas in China, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
BP would not confirm the talks, the paper said.
In November it was reported that PetroChina and Royal Dutch Shell had started joint exploration of a Chinese shale gas block in China's Sichuan province in an effort to find alternative gas sources to meet the country's rising demand.
