摘要
In 2019,China launched a series of reform measures in key areas such as increasing oil and gas reserves and production,pipeline network reform and downstream urban gas;the overall operation of the natural gas industry remains stable.In 2019,China’s apparent natural gas consumption crossed the 300 billion m3 mark for the first time,reaching 306.7 billion m3,up by 9.4% over the same period in the previous year.Domestic gas enjoys a sound trend of increase in reserves and production,with an output of 174 billion m3,up by 10.8% over the same period in the previous year.The growth rate of imported natural gas dropped from a high level,with imported pipeline gas and imported LNG totalling 132.2 billion m3 in 2019,up by only 6.5% over the same period in the previous year.External dependence decreased for the first time.In 2020,there is downward pressure on the macro-economy.At the same time,affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,the increment and growth level of natural gas demand will continue to decline compared with 2019,and the market demand growth rate is expected to reach 4%-5%.
