The government is drafting a strategic reserve blueprint to ensure energy security-the move coming close on the heels of the construction of four oil reserve bases, according to Ma Fucai, deputy director of the Office of the National Energy Leading Group. 'The blueprint will focus on building strategic reserves for key resources ranging from natural gas and coal to uranium, but the top priority is to build strategic oil reserves, which are almost complete,' Ma told the news media in mid-March, adding that 'the reserve system will then be expanded to other key energies.'
