Nature Gas is universally recognized as a clean energy in the world. Emission of carbon dioxide and Nox produced from burning only amounts to 50% and 20% of that of coal respectively, and pollution produced by burning of nature gas is only 1/4 corresponding to petroleum and 1/800 compared to coa.
China will have a strong demand for consumption of natural gas. At present, natural gas only represents 3 percent of energy consumption in China, while in the developed countries it represents an average 22 percent of energy consumption.
China covers a 3 million square kilometer offshore area with an abundant reserve of gas resources. Researches conducted by Chinese ocean geologists through many years prove that there are seven gas-bearing prospect basins with 14000 billion cubic meter gas resources and 5000 billion cubic meter resources of economic values in China coastal offshore areas. Nansha Basin, with a very promising prospect, is particularly rich in gas reserves, which amounts to 8000 to 10000 billion cubic meters. At present, China National Offshore Oil Corp.( CNOOC) has listed the development of natural gas as one of its major priorities.
Development focus:
Offshore nature gas went ashore at an earlier time and has been transmitted to coastal areas like Liaoning Province, Hainan Province, etc. for Industrial use and town gas as a clean energy. It helped to optimize town fuel consumption structure and made noticeable contribution to promote environment protection and improve living standards in urban areas. Detail... |
