Review of Gas Transportation and Storage Facilities Construction in 2015

摘要

By the end of 2015, total length of China's long-distance gas pipelines has exceeded 70,000 km. Onshore strategic import paths have been formed, domestic trunk networks perfected and gas storages construction pace accelerated. The Chinese section of Russia-China East Gas Pipeline was officially commenced, which marked that the northeast import path entered the stage of construction. There are 13 LNG terminals in China. The National Development and Reform Commission(NDRC) approved China's first private-owned LNG terminal—the Zhoushan LNG terminal. In the coming five years, the focus of institutional reform will be the independence of pipelines and networks, the focus of construction will be regional networks and branch pipelines, and joint ventures will be the mainstream for gas pipeline construction and operation.
