"China Natural Gas Development Report (2020)": The growth rate of natural gas consumption this year is expected to slow down significantly

Recently, the "China Natural Gas Development Report (2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") jointly prepared by the Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas of the National Energy Administration, the Resource and Environmental Policy Research Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Council, and the Oil and Gas Resource Strategy Research Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources passed the line The above form was released in Beijing.

The report pointed out that the current world natural gas supply and demand pattern is facing in-depth adjustments.

From a global perspective, in 2019, the world’s new recoverable natural gas reserves of 2.

In terms of China's natural gas development, the report pointed out that in 2019, China's natural gas exploration and development efforts have been significantly increased, and both reserves and production growth have reached historical records.

In 2019, China imported 96.

As of the end of 2019, China has built more than 87,000 km of trunk gas pipelines, with a primary gas transmission capacity exceeding 350 billion cubic meters per year.

In 2019, China's apparent natural gas consumption was 306.

In terms of system, China's natural gas market reform process is gradually accelerating.

　　Since 2020, the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has had a significant impact on my country's economic, social and energy development in stages.
The growth rate of natural gas demand in my country has slowed down significantly, but it still achieved a positive growth of 1.
5% in the first half of the year.
The report pointed out that in the second half of 2020, facing the impact of the epidemic, the development of China's natural gas industry will face challenges, but the basic conditions and supporting factors that promote the coordinated and stable development of the natural gas industry have not changed, and the overall tone of the natural gas industry's sustained and steady development remains unchanged.
At the same time, international natural gas supply and demand are generally loose, natural gas prices fluctuated widely at low levels, and domestic capacity to increase reserves and production has increased significantly, and gas supply security capabilities have been further improved; institutional reforms continue to deepen, and industrial policies continue to improve; new industries spawned and promoted by the epidemic The continuous emergence of new models and new business formats provides a favorable space for the rapid development of natural gas.
It is estimated that the national natural gas consumption in 2020 will be about 320 billion cubic meters, an increase of about 13 billion cubic meters from 2019.
