    China Petroleum & Chemical News Network reported on May 7, according to oil and gas engineering news, data from the Department of Energy showed that as of May 4, the Philippines’ natural gas production reached 33.


    According to data from the Department of Energy, the power sector used most of the country’s natural gas production, which was 31.


    At the same time, the industrial sector used 15 million cubic feet of natural gas, while the transportation sector did not use any natural gas.


    The country’s total natural gas production is 2,424.


    Among them, 229.


    The Department of Energy pointed out that the data from 2000 to 2008 included natural gas production from the PNOC Exploration Company’s San Antonio gas field, the exploration arm of the National Petroleum Corporation of the Philippines.


    The San Antonio Gas Field was the country’s first natural gas discovery project and was developed as a demonstration project to improve the country’s natural gas production experience.


    The gas field began production in 1994 and will provide the fuel needed for a 3 MW power plant in Isabella E Hague.


      Currently, the Malampaya deep-water natural gas power generation project in the northwestern part of Palawan Island is the country’s main source of natural gas.


      The US$4.

      Natgas Output Hits 33,356 MMCSF

      Natural gas (natgas) production in the Philippines reached 33,356 million standard cubic feet (MMcf) as of May 4, data from the Department of Energy (DoE) showed.


      Based on the DoE data, the power sector utilized the majority of the country's natgas output at 31,935 MMcf, a decline of 75.


      The industrial sector, meanwhile, used 15 MMcf while the transport sector did not utilize any natural gas.


      The country's total natural gas output stood at 2,424,147 billion cubic feet (Bcf), which includes production from the San Antonio gas field.


      Of the total number, 2,290,904 Bcf of natgas output went to power consumption.


      The Energy department noted that data from 2000 to 2008 included natgas output from the San Antonio gas field of the PNOC Exploration Corp.


      San Antonio gas field was the first natural gas discovery in the country and was developed as a demonstration project to enhance the country's experience on gas production.

      The said gas field commenced production in 1994 and supplied the fuel requirements of a 3-megawatt (MW) power plant in Echague, Isabela.
    The gas field produced 3.
    54 billion cubic feet of gas until its decommissioning in 2008.

      Currently, it is the Malampaya deep water gas-to-power project in Northwest Palawan that serves as the country's primary source of natural gas.

      The $4.
    5-billion Malampaya gas field — which fuels about 21 percent of the country's electricity requirements — is expected to be depleted by 2027 at the latest.
