Jefferies downgraded CNOOC Ltd. (NYSE: CEO) to Underperform.

The firm comments, "With Brent retracing to US$118/bbl (July 2011 levels), CNOOC shares have also rallied to within 2% of July 2011 levels. It appears that the market is disregarding the substantial negativity that had weighed on share prices – QoQ declines, various accidents, weak 2012 production guidance, and surging capex spending. We believe the market has over-reacted to the rise in crude prices. Downgrade to Underperform."
