Natural gas prices soared due to gas shortage in t

Natural gas prices soared due to "gas shortage" in many places, and the national development and Reform Commission held a warning meeting to stabilize prices

Hubei news pointed out that natural gas in the province has been tight since November 22. Previously, similar news came from Ningxia, Shaanxi and other places. Shaanxi news pointed out that the demand for natural gas increased during the winter heating period, the gap between supply and demand expanded, and the pressure on natural gas supply was large

supply gap leads to price rise, and the most direct is the price of liquefied natural gas. According to the National Bureau of statistics, 21 From November 21 to 30, 2017, the price of liquefied natural gas (LND) in 24 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) was 5636.7 yuan per ton, an increase of 28.3% over the previous period. If compared with the price in the same period in September, the increase was 60.2%

to this end, the national development and Reform Commission recently issued a notice to uniformly deploy the relevant provincial, regional and municipal price departments to immediately convene a meeting to remind and warn the LNG price regulations and policies, remind and warn the LNG production and circulation enterprises and relevant social organizations within the jurisdiction, strengthen price self-discipline, and standardize price behavior

21st Century Business Herald learned that enterprises in the main production areas of liquefied natural gas, enterprises in the main receiving stations of imported liquefied natural gas, and enterprises in the main sales areas of liquefied natural gas participated in the above-mentioned meeting

linboqiang, director of the energy economy collaborative innovation center of Xiamen University, pointed out that the rapid rise in short-term LNG prices is related to the conversion of coal to gas for heating in Hebei and other places. But this should be local tension, and it should be able to solve the problem in twoorthree weeks

the price of liquefied natural gas soared by 60% in two months.

the 21st Century Business Herald noted that the price rise caused by the tight supply of natural gas is now reflected in many fields, and the largest increase is liquefied natural gas

Taking Hubei as an example, Wuhan Natural Gas Co., Ltd. has issued a notice that there has been a shortage of gas across the country recently. The company has launched an emergency plan for ensuring supply in winter. If the situation further intensifies, it will take measures to limit, limit and stop supply to industrial and commercial enterprises to fully ensure the demand for civil gas

on November 28, Baoding Xinao Gas Co., Ltd. issued a message to all user units that PetroChina natural gas sales North Branch has notified that there will be no increase in natural gas supply resources from October 21. Hebei Provincial Development and Reform Commission decided to launch the provincial natural gas demand side management mechanism, and entered the orange warning of natural gas supply in the province from 0:00 on November 28

according to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the national LNG price was 3129.1 yuan per ton on August, 2017, 3519 yuan in September, 4337.4 yuan in October and 5636.7 yuan in November. According to this, the price of liquefied natural gas in November increased by 80% over August, 60% over September and about 30% over October

why does the price of liquefied natural gas rise so fast? Yang Fuqiang, a senior adviser to the natural resources commission of the United States, pointed out that the price of natural gas for residential use and industrial and commercial use cannot be increased indiscriminately, but liquefied natural gas, as a supplement, goes through the market auction price, so it rises rapidly

"all regions are accelerating the treatment of changing coal to gas, and the lower they go, they tend to increase the weight layer by layer, which reduces the use of coal, but the demand for natural gas increases, and the actual supporting supply needs to keep up." He said

according to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, with the promotion of the "coal to gas" and other projects, the demand for natural gas is strong, and the output has maintained rapid growth since this year. In October, the natural gas output was 12.41 billion cubic meters, an increase of 15.4% year-on-year; The imported natural gas was 5.81 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 52.1%, 48.2 percentage points faster than that in September

Miao Yingying, a natural gas market analyst at jinlianchuang, pointed out that on the whole, the growth rate of China's natural gas demand is greater than that of natural gas supply. Since 2016, the state has changed coal to gas, gasification of rural areas, and coal heating to natural. Many countries have invested heavily in graphene materials nbsp; Competing to seize the industrial highland of natural gas heating, the consumption of natural gas in all aspects has increased significantly, so the overall consumption of natural gas has increased very fast, but the whole supply has not kept up with the consumption. 11. The distance between columns: 600mm development speed, resulting in a situation of short supply

the national development and Reform Commission held a warning meeting to stabilize prices

in the face of the rapid rise in the price of liquefied natural gas, the national development and Reform Commission required 11 regions to hold a warning meeting on the price regulations and policies of liquefied natural gas on December 4, and submit it to the price supervision bureau of the national development and Reform Commission

these regions include Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Sichuan, Shandong, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Beijing and Hebei. Participants include major enterprises in the main production areas of liquefied natural gas and relevant associations, as well as enterprises and associations in the main terminal sales of liquefied natural gas, enterprises in the main sales areas of liquefied natural gas and relevant associations

the national development and Reform Commission reminds and warns all liquefied natural gas enterprises and relevant social organizations to maintain the order of the industry, not to bid up prices maliciously, not to evaluate whether the products have met the requirements of the European Union in time, not to cheat, not to collude with each other, manipulate the market price, not to abuse the dominant market position, not to reach a monopoly agreement, and not to implement any other forms of price violations and price monopolies

an expert in the gas industry pointed out that there is no shortage of natural gas in the overall market at present. The situation of high price and tight market is that some enterprises believe that the price of natural gas was too low in the past, and greater benefits can be sought through this way. "In the final analysis, the upstream enterprises want to raise prices and the downstream enterprises want to buy cheap gas. The demands of both sides are inconsistent." This person said

it is understood that there are about 2million households in Beijing Tianjin Hebei region involved in coal to gas conversion this year. With the situation of coal to gas conversion in Shandong, Shaanxi and other places, there may actually be millions of households in the country. According to national policies, in the peak season of natural gas consumption in winter, the benchmark gate price of natural gas for non residents can fluctuate by less than 20%

Miao Yingying believes that this warning meeting did not make a practical limit on the price of natural gas, and did not stipulate the minimum price and maximum price, but only served as a warning. The next step is to solve the contradiction between supply and demand and increase the construction of natural gas supply capacity
