Research Area: the natural gas industry
Vendors Involved: CNPC, Sinopec and CNOOC
Report Summary
In recent years, annual output of natural gas has been growing by 20% or so. In the future, natural gas supply will present four trends in China: West-East Gas Transfer, high-quality natural gas is transferred from the west to coastal areas in the east; North-South Gas Transfer, natural gas from the north and even Russia is transferred to Bohai Area, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta; Offshore Oil to Land, on the one hand, natural gas produced by China in offshore areas is transferred to coastal areas; on the other hand, imported liquefied natural gas is supplied to coastal areas by precedence. In addition, areas surrounding resource pools utilize natural gas nearby.
During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, China natural gas industry will usher in a new development area full of vitality. The fast-growing natural gas market will deliver major opportunities for Chinese natural gas enterprises. Enterprises in China natural gas industry, including foreign businesses investing and operating in China, must understand and study the market environment they are in from time to time, so as to grasp the trend, and achieve development while keeping encountering and addressing new situations and new problems.
