8 Moon 22 The State Council Executive Meeting held today adopted measures to deepen reform and promote the coordinated and stable development of natural gas, including: building a diversified supply system that expands domestic production and stabilizes international cooperation; strengthening the construction and interconnectivity of infrastructure such as pipeline networks, gas storage facilities, and receiving stations to ensure supply-demand balance and achieve orderly utilization; intensifying domestic exploration and development efforts, innovating mechanisms to encourage participation by various investment entities, and supporting the transfer of mining rights through market-oriented approaches; and improving mechanisms for peak-shaving, emergency response, and safety assurance for natural gas.

　　Experts say that promoting the coordinated and stable development of natural gas is conducive to achieving a balance between supply and demand for natural gas in China and is of great significance for the long-term sustainable development of natural gas.

　　Currently, China’s natural gas sector has entered a golden era of leapfrog development, serving as an indispensable bridge in the transition to clean energy. This year, the Ministry of Natural Resources... 7 Monthly released data shows that, 2017 Nationwide investment in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas resources has bottomed out and is now rebounding, with oil and gas production showing... “ Oil descends, qi ascends. ” Situation. It is worth noting that unconventional oil and gas have experienced rapid growth in recent years; data show that... 2016 In China, unconventional gas production accounts for a certain percentage of the total natural gas output. 33% On the demand side, 2017 China's natural gas consumption grew this year. 15% External dependence remains persistently high, and the peak in demand has yet to arrive.

　　At a critical juncture in the global energy transition, natural gas has been entrusted with the important role of being a key driver of this transformation. Technological advancements and innovations—such as the development of artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things—will bring about a profound revolution in the green exploration and development of natural gas, as well as in improving energy efficiency.
