Low gas price and insufficient capacity of storage gas cause domestic gas shortage

The China Petroleum Daily Survey of domestic natural gas production and sales shows that the construction of gas storage is not in harmony with gas supply capacity, and the pricing mechanism has not yet been straightened out, which has become the most important reason for the imbalance of gas supply and demand. reported that the Beijing Gas Peak Valley difference of more than 10:1, north China reached 5:1.　　At present, there are only 6 small and medium-sized underground gas storage reservoirs in Dagang and Jintan, and the working gas used for peak shaving is about 3 billion cubic meters, accounting for 3.5% of total gas consumption, and the global average is 15%-20%. Survey data show that in the past 20 years, the domestic price of natural gas prices per party only up 0.1-0.3 yuan, while the coal price from 80 yuan per ton-100 yuan rose to the present 600-700 yuan per ton.　　At the same calorific value, the current natural gas price is equivalent to 25%-30% of the oil price, 40% of the tariff, and 60% to 80% internationally. Low gas prices, while stimulating demand for disorderly expansion, also depress upstream capacity. Surveys show that, in addition to a very small number of high-quality gas fields, most of the gas fields are in meager profit or even loss of state.　　Among them, PetroChina Group's southwest Oil and gas field 2009 years of natural gas sales income of 12.8 billion yuan, book profit of only 95 million yuan, natural gas pipeline income of 846 million yuan, book losses amounted to 735 million yuan. Prices have also become the biggest obstacle to the import of gas sources. Take the Central Asian natural gas as an example, according to the current domestic gas price settlement, the Central Asian natural gas through more than 1800 kilometers pipeline to our country's hall of the fruit port, each gas price only 2.05 yuan, equivalent to Beijing, Shanghai and other land end-user prices.　　According to the current domestic gas price, the loss is obvious. The survey also shows that the international market for nitrogen fertilizer and other price factors, China's chemical fertilizer exports in recent years has continued to surge momentum, at once as much as 40%. Last year, the national chemical fertilizer gas as high as nearly 10 billion, accounting for the natural gas consumption of about 20%, much higher than 3% of the international industry level.　　Low-priced natural gas is eventually exported to foreign countries in the form of chemical fertilizers. In addition, natural gas production growth is not only difficult, but also a much longer period. PetroChina Southwest Oil and gas field Company general manager Li Yuguang said, build a natural gas as raw material fertilizer plant, generally need 1 years to 3 years; exploration and development of a gas field, to undergo geophysical prospecting, drilling wells, proven reserves, trial production, development and deployment, drilling and development wells, construction pipe network and purification plant is very complicated process, generally need about 8 years,　　Even longer.　　By the end of 2008, the world's remaining recoverable natural gas resources were 185 trillion, while China's natural gas reserves were 2.38 trillion, and China's natural gas resources per capita amounted to only 1/7 of the world average.　　In this respect, Zengshing, a former general geologist of SinoChem Group, said that the overall condition of China's resource situation is "rich in coal and less gas shortage", the total amount of natural gas resources has been found insufficient.
