my country's natural gas production growth rate has been faster than consumption growth rate for two consecutive years

The "China Natural Gas Development Report (2021)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was released recently
.

The report was jointly prepared by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Department of the National Energy Administration, the Resource and Environmental Policy Research Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Council, and the Petroleum Resource Strategy Research Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources

The report pointed out that 2020 is the final year of the "13th Five-Year Plan".

Over the past five years, the construction of the natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system has been steadily advancing, and the natural gas storage and production has grown rapidly.
The establishment of the Co.

The report shows that in 2020, due to the dual impact of the new crown epidemic and low oil prices, the world's natural gas production will be 3.

85 trillion cubic meters, a year-on-year decrease of 3.

Domestic natural gas production has increased by more than 10 billion cubic meters for four consecutive years, and new reserves have reached a new high
.

In 2020, the national natural gas output was 192.
5 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 9.

According to the report, the construction of "one network across the country" has been accelerated, interconnection capabilities have been significantly improved, gas storage and peak shaving capabilities have been further enhanced, and stable gas supply has been achieved during the heating season
.

The four major import channels have been further improved, major infrastructures for interconnection have been promoted rapidly, and a number of key projects such as the middle section of the China-Russia Eastern Route and Qingning Pipeline have been completed and put into operation one after another

According to the report, natural gas is a clean and low-carbon fossil energy and will play an important role in the global energy green and low-carbon transition
.

At present and for a long period of time in the future, China's energy development has entered a development stage where incremental substitution and stock substitution coexist.
Fossil energy, including natural gas, is not only the "ballast" to ensure energy security, but also a high proportion of new energy sources.

Based on the preliminary judgment of the market situation in the first half of the year, the report predicts that China's natural gas consumption in 2021 will reach 365 billion to 370 billion cubic meters
.

Excluding the impact of the new crown epidemic, compared with the base of natural gas consumption in 2019, the average annual growth rate in 2020 and 2021 is 9%-10%, which is within a reasonable range of medium-to-high growth

The report believes that in the next step, China will make full use of the domestic and international markets, adhere to the domestic base, continue to increase the level of domestic gas field production and supply, and enhance diversified import capabilities
.

At the same time, we should guide the whole society to increase energy conservation awareness, actively advocate gas conservation, and take multiple measures to ensure the stable supply of natural gas in China
