"In the future there may be 3-4 in each city gas supply, gas supply to a relative surplus." China Gas Association, the responsible person on the 18th told reporters, "the next 3-5 years will create a domestic gas pipeline network, and more gas source, the interconnection of multiple pipelines. natural gas one, two, three, four, Shaanxi-Beijing one, two, three, four, ZhongWu line, Burma line, Northeast pipelines will be interconnected. "" gas shortage " problems exist at present, though still to some extent, but in the near future oil and gas companies will face the market situation of supply exceeding demand, the city gas companies will not air for a change, no air can buy the fields. Gas Association, the relevant person in charge that "in accordance with the development experience of developed countries, natural gas, natural gas industry will form the future of our country 'two open participation, unified management of the middle and lower middle comprehensive regulatory approach', that 'X +1 + X' mode. "This development model will maintain the midstream pipeline transportation system, the uniqueness of the premise of the upstream natural gas market players to achieve diversification and the diversification of gas supply of natural gas, placing the main downstream market diversification and diversity of end customers. Upstream firm to enter the downstream market strong
China Gas Association, commissioned by the National Energy Board, the completion of "promoting the orderly development of China's natural gas industry-related policy research," and proposed the natural gas "X +1 + X" development model. "'X +1 + X' model is the experience of developed countries, but also conform to the industrial development law." Related to the Gas Association official told reporters. However, in the current natural gas management system, the implementation of the above model can be described as heavy resistance.
China's natural gas upstream production supply chain, whether domestic gas exploration and production source, or sources of procurement and supply of international gas are concentrated in the oil, Sinopec, CNOOC, the Big Three in the hands, midstream pipeline transportation links in the same three companies are monopolies.
Upstream gas supply business with resources to implement the "resources-for-market" strategy, the business expanded to downstream markets, with local government to sign an exclusive franchise agreement with the emerging non-state-owned gas enterprise development space severely squeezed and squeezed . Among these, the oil on behalf of the Kunlun Gas Group. The company was founded in 2008, the PetroChina gas professional company, has nearly 90 prefecture-level cities were gas franchise. Have the advantage because the gas source, the Kunlun Gas rapid rate of expansion. Because of the strong debut Kunlun gas, city gas industry set off a firestorm.
In this regard, a number of gas industry experts, natural gas midstream and downstream industry chain is not conducive to integrated monopoly gas industry reform. Once the enterprise has the resource advantage into the downstream, it is easy to achieve a dominant market position, associated with abnormal trading enterprises will act to limit growth, and extrusion downstream firms survive.
China Gas Association, suggested that "the strong into the downstream business for the upstream market, to achieve vertical integration of the phenomenon, the industry should clearly establish a market access system, in order to define the anti-monopoly, regulate the investment behavior of investors, specifically the upstream enterprises to enter the downstream restrictions, to encourage full competition downstream. "downstream market experienced regional monopoly
Reform of China's city gas industry began in 2002. In December 2002 the former Ministry of Construction has issued "public service industries on the market to speed up the reform process view", gas industry in the municipal utility system, the first to introduce market competition mechanism, large state-owned capital, private capital, foreign capital started taking the field in the gas planned economic system under the monopoly be broken.
Wang Tianxi director of China Gas Association, said: "The gas market reform is successful, the reform is better than water in the field. Now established diversification of investment and management structure. As of the end of 2009, the domestic city gas industry, trans-regional business management of five major gas group, that is state-owned China Resources background gas, the Kunlun Gas, China Gas three central level, representatives of private capital the new Austrian gas, on behalf of foreign capital in Hong Kong and China Gas. "
Nevertheless, China City Gas Society, the "gas sector reform assessment study" that the gas market reform is still facing many challenges. At present, the city gas industry practitioners are mostly state-owned enterprises or state-owned holding enterprises, these enterprises despite the company's Transformation, and some already on the market, ownership structure, but still the main state-owned or state-controlled, corporate governance and the modern enterprise system far.
These companies, many managers are airborne from the original trade department, who with government regulators between the layers. In addition, the enterprises have already become an independent legal entity, but the government interference in business investment is still an administrative order, management, personnel, assets disposal and other activities, corporate behavior is not the market.
China United Coal Management Director Li Liang had told reporters that "some local gas companies do not study the law of development of natural gas, with the support of local government, regardless of how much gas volume, in a time of high raw materials costs, construction of gas pipeline networks, increase human natural gas supply costs. business process ends meet, forming huge losses. local governments to exempt from its financial subsidies, had to raise gas prices.
