The supply of natural gas in some areas is tight, and the overall supply can meet

Affected by the violent fluctuations in terminal demand, the price of LNG (liquefied natural gas), which has been soaring for nearly a month, has fluctuated sharply in recent days.

Regarding the question of whether the supply of civil natural gas will be "cut off" and whether the price will fluctuate, Jinlianchuang analyst Wang Xue told the reporter of International Business Daily that civil natural gas is related to people's livelihood, and the principle of "guaranteeing the quantity and keeping the price" is the principle.

The overall supply of the natural gas market is adequate

Zhai Cuiping, an analyst at Zhongyu Information, told the International Business Daily that due to the frequent occurrence of cold air, the heating season in the winter of 2020 will come earlier.

Price fluctuations will not affect residents' gas consumption

Wang Xue said that under the guidance of the National Development and Reform Commission, the three major oil and gas companies and the national pipeline network company will make every effort to ensure supply during the peak gas consumption period, and promote domestic gas fields to increase production as much as possible under the premise of ensuring safety, and orderly increase the supply of imported resources.

Zhai Cuiping said that in order to ensure the gas demand for public and civilian life, the amount of raw gas in the upstream LNG liquid plant in some areas has been continuously reduced, and many liquid plants have shut down or reduced production to ensure supply.

Tight supply in Southwest China, prices tend to be rational

Zhuo Chuang Information analyst Zhang Rongrong told the International Business Daily that since the end of November 2020, the continuous decrease in temperature has significantly stimulated heating demand, and the residential use of natural gas in the southwest has far exceeded the level of the same period in previous years.

Gas fields in southwestern regions such as Sichuan and Chongqing are densely distributed, and the supply of raw gas in the region has been sufficient for a long time.

　　In the long run, during special periods such as the winter heating season, a substantial increase in demand is an inevitable trend.
At this time, improving the supply situation has become a top priority.
On the one hand, the annual output of natural gas in the Southwest Oil and Gas Field has exceeded 30 billion cubic meters, and the daily industrial output has exceeded 100 million cubic meters.
Taking full advantage of the local gas field and increasing self-production can improve the stability of local natural gas supply; on the other hand, in addition to national injection and production In addition to the most capable Xiangguosi gas storage in Chongqing, Tongluoxia gas storage has also started a cyclic injection-production test a few days ago.
The successive operation of the gas storage will also enhance the gas storage and peak shaving capacity in the southwest region during the critical period.
