Singapore—China’s production of unconventional gas in 2014 totaled 4.9 Bcm, soaring 42% year on year, data from the country’s Ministry of Land and Resources showed Monday. Coalbed methane output rose 23.3% year on year in 2014 to 3.6 Bcm while shale gas production was 1.3 Bcm, expanding by over five times from 2013, the ministry said. The shale gas output is just under the 1.5 Bcm that the ministry expected in September would be reached in 2014.
