Guizhou provincial government issued a 2026–28 unconventional natural gas
three-year action plan targeting production of >0.9 bln cubic meters in 2026,
>1.7 bln in 2027 and >2.2 bln in 2028; self-sufficiency targeted at >40% by
2028, 60% by 2030 and near full self-sufficiency by 2035. The plan calls for a
provincial natural gas trading center and regional production‑to‑sales
coordination pilots to link upstream and downstream, aiming to unlock upstream
capacity, expand downstream markets, strengthen resource allocation and boost
Guizhou’s gas pricing power and market competitiveness.
