International Energy Network News: Following Changsha and Urumqi, cities such as Jinan and Xi’an have recently experienced intensive use of gas and difficulty in refueling, which has caused the industry’s concern about the occurrence of “gas shortages†to increase again.
In recent days, due to the peak of winter gas usage, Jinan taxis have been experiencing difficulty in gas filling, and some taxis in front of gas filling stations have long queued up. As one of the major gas supply companies in Jinan, a person in charge of the production and operation department of Shan Dong Energy Natural Gas Utilization Co., Ltd. stated that the current total supply of natural gas has not changed significantly. The “gas shortage†is mainly caused by the increase in downstream demand. Although the upstream gas source has continued to increase the capacity of peak regulation, the seasonal impact is still significant.
He said that the company has now clearly given priority to guaranteeing residents' livelihood, heating, and other people's livelihood use of gas, while ensuring the use of gas for key projects and public facilities. It is expected that the "gas shortage" will gradually ease with the warming of the weather.
Also in this week, the ancient city of Xi'an also exposed the news of “gas shortageâ€. As some stations have been forced to stop or limit supplies, many local vehicles have been shut down due to “gas shortagesâ€. Some taxi drivers have even been unable to air for two or three hours.
To this end, the Xi’an Bus Corporation recently launched a pre-arranged plan to establish a gas-filled assault squadron. From 0am to 6am daily, crews and road captains will refuel the off-duty buses to ensure The city’s 195 bus lines can operate normally during the day.
The local natural gas company issued a notice to urge industrial users and large gas users to “discriminate use of gas at peaks and peaks.†Every day at noon and in the afternoon, residents spend a maximum of six hours of suspended gas supply for large gas users during peak cooking hours.
"As early as September and October last year, we discovered that the local gas shortage in this winter couldn't be avoided. It seems that this is indeed the case." A natural gas expert of CNPC told the reporter yesterday that due to the existence of the supply and demand gap, When demand suddenly increases, supply will not keep up. "What we are worried about now is whether the local gas shortage will become a large-scale gas shortage."
Professor Liu Yijun, a natural gas expert at the China University of Petroleum's School of Business Administration, pointed out that the temperature level in this winter is higher than the same period of last year. Therefore, it seems that there is no characteristic condition for a large-scale “gas shortageâ€, at least not yet serious. Degree.
It is worth noting that while the “gas shortage†has intensified in some regions, the price of liquefied gas in the south has started to rise. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the gas department of the Guangdong Oil and Gas Association that due to the rise in international oil prices, the increase in international import gas costs, coupled with the cold weather, North-South transportation was blocked, and resources outside the province were difficult to access, resulting in a shortage of resources on the market and the price of gas rose accordingly. .
According to the Guangdong Provincial Price Monitoring Center, the average price of 14.5 kilograms of bottled liquefied gas in the province was about 100 yuan per bottle in early November last year. The latest monitoring of the gas division of the Guangdong Oil & Gas Merchants Association showed that the retail price of bottled liquefied petroleum gas in Guangzhou reached RMB 115 per bottle this week.
