Recently, the energy security issues in China have once again raised the wide concern of industry insiders and senior Chinese Government leaders. The focus this time is on the security of oil and natural gas supplies. Taking 2017 as an example, China＇s crude oil consumption was nearly 600 million tons, with imports of more than 400 million tons and external crude oil dependence of nearly 70%; in the same year, China＇s natural gas consumption exceeded 240 billion m3, with imports exceeding 90 billion m3 and natural gas external dependence of nearly 40%.
