China will launch a nationwide safety examination of domestic oil production enterprises, said the safe production commission under the State Council, or the country's Cabinet, on Monday.

The checkup is scheduled to begin November and last for two months, according to the commission.

The move aims to make clear the number, scale and production situation of domestic oil enterprises, based on which a data base of the country's oil enterprise will be set up, according to the commission.

The move also aims to dig out hidden risks and problems and work out feasible resolutions.

The government also ordered local production safety supervision organs to enhance monitoring and take effective measures to tackle problems.
