China has had to cut domestic gas production to make space for imports amid a seasonal dip in demand over the second and third quarters of the year. The country produced 8.5 billion cu m (10 Bcf/d) of gas in April, up 8.6% year on year but down 25% from March, official government data showed. Production last year similarly tapered off after a strong first quarter—output in April 2011 fell 25% from March to 7.8 Bcm.
