Oil & Gas Journal: Unconventional Gas to Meet Surging Chinese Gas Demand

“In a prewinter analysis of Chinese natural gas demand for the 2010-11 heating season, Poten & Partners, New York, reports that the country’s National Development and Reform Commission had demanded a 20% increase in gas supplies to avoid a recurrence of last winter’s shortages. Poten cites China’s official Xinhua news agency, which reported that NDRC’s vice-director has urged local companies to boost LNG spot purchases and move ahead on new gas projects.”
