摘要
In 2017,due to the intensified implementation of the ‘changing coal into gas' policy in the northern area and the gas supply shortage in Central Asia,China's LNG imports greatly increased,leading to our country overtaking South Korea as the world's second largest LNG importer.In this process,the demand for LNG in the northern area of our country increased substantially,leading to relatively large differentiation development in the LNG imports of ‘three barrels of oil(CNPC,SINOPEC and CNOOC)',exposing the insufficiency of supporting infrastructure construction for the development of the LNG business in our country,and triggering the government,enterprises and academic circles to pay great attention to ensuring the safety of the domestic natural gas consumption market.Nevertheless,according to a comprehensive analysis of the external environment,internal market,business entities and policy orientation,China's LNG import business is still on the rise,and extensive room remains for progress in the future.
