China Gas Information
China Gas Equipment Reuters: National Development and Reform Commission of measures to stabilize prices came out, all regions of ambitious plans had to emergency brake gas prices. As of November 26, due to the State Development and Reform Commission issued a number of measures to stabilize prices, at present, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Henan provinces are in the pipeline natural gas price adjustment plan has been suspended.
At the same time, according to the internal Development and Reform Commission was informed that the government will further encourage the promotion of natural gas use, in addition to the exploitation of natural gas will increase and imports, the government is to speed up natural gas reserves, and accelerating a number of new gas storage.
Price adjustment scheme brakes
With the oil, electricity, coal and other energy shortages and a larger face upward pressure, natural gas is no exception to the tight supply there. Prior to many parts of the country have raised gas prices move brewing, but also because of the NDRC's policy of a paper have brakes.
It is understood that, in accordance with national requirements, the adjustment of government pricing programs according to priorities, as far as possible to postpone the implementation of an extension, you must put a price adjustment to grasp the timing, tempo and intensity. Although the prices of most goods and services by the market to develop, but there is still a small number of people living with economic development and is closely related to prices of goods and services by the government. At present, the government pricing of goods and services only a few tap water, natural gas, electricity and refined oil.
Recently, all regions are plans to increase natural gas prices as a direct result of this round of regional natural gas price increase is due May 31 National Development and Reform Commission announced that from at 0:00 on June 1, the base price of domestic onshore natural gas factory increased 230 per thousand cubic meters, or 0.23 yuan per cubic meter.
Subsequently, a tide of rising gas prices in many parts of the country to start, Shenyang, Changsha, Hefei, Lanzhou, Beijing and other places have held a hearing planned gas costs increase.
Enthusiasm to the boil in prices soon, November 25, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a document again, price departments at all levels to take further measures to clean up and eliminate unreasonable people involved in production and living fees, reduce the high the unreasonable charges and price, ease the cost of incremental production cost of living increases and the pressure of the masses.
Then on November 26, Henan, Jiangsu and Guangdong Province have said it has suspended the introduction of natural gas price adjustment programs. Among them, Henan Province, said the caution issued by the State Government requested price adjustment around the project has been completed but not yet implemented the hearing of natural gas price adjustment program will stay put.
Is much lower than the consumption of mining
In addition to the factory base price increase, the reasons for this round of gas price increases of natural gas supply Recently there. But the gas shortage is really because of "too low" supply and demand imbalances caused it?
In this regard, Han Xiaoping, CEO of China Energy believes that it has a large area of natural gas shortage of signs, because the country needs energy conservation natural gas, over all positive for natural gas, resulting in the phenomenon now in short supply, local energy conservation in order to complete emission reduction targets for the development of space, at the government subsidies to get gas.
"In addition, gasoline is now more expensive in some parts of Canadian natural gas vehicles have changed, these have also accelerated the demand for natural gas. Will result in the present state of natural gas in short supply, and prices have nothing to do but this." HAN Xiao-ping said.
On the other hand, prices, domestic natural gas prices have not low, is higher than the United States. U.S. natural gas prices is equivalent to 1.05 yuan per cubic meter, the current domestic price of 1.18 yuan, 0.13 yuan higher than the U.S. already. Even accounting for higher domestic gas distribution costs, domestic gas prices are not lower than the United States.
But PetroChina and Sinopec, the current domestic gas prices are still too low.
The reason that the oil is too low domestic price of natural gas, imported gas is mainly to do to get a comparison. The oil that the price of natural gas this year, NDRC adjustment is mainly to make up the loss on the import of natural gas. Adjustment in the price of natural gas this year, before the Development and Reform Commission, China's imports of gas prices has been upside down, and poor in 1 dollar per cubic meter. This year, 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas imports, which means the oil import to enterprises in the loss of 50 billion.
HAN Xiao-ping, but that, in fact, the oil or natural gas for more domestic production, domestic production costs will certainly lower than the imported gas, so if the full import of gas to take the measure of whether a loss is unreasonable. "Ultimately the main reason for China's recent gas shortage is less, not the lowest, increase the amount of natural gas in China is still too slow." HAN Xiao-ping said.
Indeed, in recent years, domestic natural gas proved reserves and production capacity has been growing rapidly.
PetroChina Planning & Engineering Institute, according to deputy director of channels, said Yang Hong, 2000, the nation's proven natural gas reserves by 470 billion cubic meters of reserves growth, access to reserves growth peak. At the same time, also from the national natural gas production of 26.2 billion cubic meters in 2000 to 2009, 830 billion cubic meters, an average annual growth rate of 16%, an average annual increase of 63 billion cubic meters of production into the period of rapid growth.
According to statistics, China's natural gas production this year will exceed 100 billion cubic meters, the actual amount of domestic natural gas supply 920 million cubic meters.
"This means that our natural gas production this year than last year more than 100 billion cubic meters, will be 10 years, the fastest growing natural gas production year. But the data with the international growth in natural gas consumption is still far from enough compared to the . "HAN Xiao-ping said.
Statistics show that domestic natural gas consumption in 2006 amounted to 55.6 billion cubic meters, up by 20%, up by 13% in 2008, the first half of 2010, up by 22.1%. More data predicted that the dependence on foreign natural gas in 2010 rose to 12.8%; to 2020, foreign dependence will reach 50%.
This calculation, compared with the rapid growth in consumption, domestic production began to seem inadequate.
New gas storage will continue to be monopolized
At the same time, from within the State Development and Reform Commission was informed that, because natural gas is a relatively clean energy, promote energy conservation in China in the current context, the Government will further encourage the promotion and consumption of natural gas, encourage the exploitation of natural gas and imports . To support the rapid development of natural gas, the government will speed up the natural gas reserves, and accelerating a number of new gas storage.
Another source revealed that Pingdingshan, Liaohe, 11 places have been included in the national oil and gas reserves located.
HAN Xiao-ping that if the government does not release the natural gas market, but simply to encourage gas consumption, the phenomenon of the future gas shortage will be even more serious.
"Mining is mainly lack of proven reserves of natural gas is not poor, and even more can be described as rich, but the current domestic natural gas resources were in the upper reaches of PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC monopoly in hand, other companies have no chance involved in the exploitation, and exploitation of three petrochemical giants, after all, limited capacity, by virtue of its current production rate, gas supply shortage is inevitable. "HAN Xiao-ping said.
It is understood, not only now in the upstream natural gas monopoly, will be the new gas storage will also be in PetroChina and Sinopec to operate.
"Now gas prices can not reflect its value. Because there is no natural gas market, without adequate competition, there is no way to determine its real price, the Government should encourage the development of natural gas, and to ensure their healthy development, it is necessary to further the market , to open up the upstream, and only open to full competition upstream have, but also will allow the leverage to influence the price of supply and demand balance. "HAN Xiao-ping said.
