- China's Big Three oil companies reported increased Q1 earnings due to Middle East conflict-driven energy price surge.
- Cnooc focuses on exploration and extraction and is expected to benefit most.
- Sinopec is heavily reliant on Middle Eastern imports and less well-positioned for prolonged crisis.
