The "2024-2030 China Natural Gas Industry Market Development Status and Competition Pattern Forecast Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") created by the expert team of Zhiyan Consulting was officially announced, and since its publication in 2017, it has been selling well for 8 consecutive years, and has successfully become a powerful reference material for enterprises to understand and develop the market and formulate strategic directions. From the macro strategic perspective of national economic and industrial development, the report deeply analyzes the future market trends of the natural gas industry, accurately excavates the development potential of the industry, and judges the future prospects of the natural gas industry.
This report is divided into 14 chapters, including development overview, operating environment, industry status, trade situation, regional operation, competition pattern, key manufacturers, development strategy, and industrial trends. It involves core data such as natural gas production, import volume, export volume, demand, import dependence, average price of sales terminals, and market size.
All the data in the report are obtained from public information such as official institutions, industry associations and in-depth research, and the data has been verified in detail and verified by multiple parties, in order to provide accurate, reliable and effective value information for the industry!
Natural gas is an important energy resource, mainly composed of methane (CH₄), accompanied by a small amount of ethane, propane, butane and other hydrocarbon gases, natural gas produces fewer pollutants after combustion, mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor, almost no sulfide and particulate matter, compared with other fossil fuels, less carbon dioxide and other pollutants are produced when burned, and it is a clean energy.
With the establishment of the natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system, the completion of the natural gas supply and transportation network, and the promotion of price reform, in recent years, the mainland's natural gas consumption has increased significantly, and the mainland's natural gas consumption will reach 165.4 billion cubic meters in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 8.9%. In the same period, the mainland's natural gas production was only 232.43 billion cubic meters, and the demand gap mainly came from imports, with the mainland's natural gas imports reaching 165.4 billion cubic meters in 2023, with an import dependence of 42.26%.
The upstream of the natural gas industry mainly includes natural gas exploration and development and natural gas drilling and production equipment, which has few participating enterprises in the mining process, strong monopoly, and simple business model, but has a high demand for capital and technology; the midstream is natural gas storage and transportation; At present, the main use of natural gas in mainland China is industrial fuel, covering mining, manufacturing, electricity, heat, gas and other fields, accounting for as much as 60%, followed by residential life, about 18.94%.
At present, the mainland natural gas enterprises mainly include natural gas exploration and production enterprises and natural gas transmission and distribution operation enterprises, in the exploration and development link, in recent years, the mainland has continued to carry out the reform of mining rights, especially prospecting rights, requiring bidding, auction, listing methods, comprehensively promote the competitive transfer of mining rights, reduce the entry threshold of the upstream oil and gas market, and stipulate that 25% of the area specified in the first exploration license should be deducted when applying for renewal of registration of prospecting rights, but from the perspective of operation, natural gas exploration and development is still mainly based on PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC and Yanchang Petroleum are the main ones.
In the process of natural gas transmission and distribution, the long-distance natural gas pipeline industry in mainland China presents a competitive pattern in which three giants (PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC) and several provincial natural gas pipeline enterprises exist at the same time. Due to historical reasons, PetroChina occupies most of the market share in the national natural gas pipeline network, and the market share of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation and China National Offshore Oil Corporation is relatively small; Only a few provinces in mainland China (the province where the main gas fields are located) have provincial long-distance natural gas pipeline network companies, but at present, domestic companies have begun to operate local natural gas branch pipelines across provinces.
As a professional organization that has witnessed the development of China's natural gas for more than ten years, Zhiyan Consulting hopes to work hand in hand with all enterprises committed to the natural gas industry to provide more effective information, professional consulting and personalized customized industry solutions, and make a modest contribution to the development of the industry.
