The Industry Research Of The Gas Transportation Through Pipeline Based On Technical And Institutional Ecomomics

As one kind of clean energy and high-quality industrial chemical, the development and use of natural gas has obtained more and more attention. In recent years, the demand of natural gas will be inceasing in our country. According to the basic estimation, the demand will achieve 2000×108m3 in 2020. The development of natural gas is closely related to the pipeline. Our country's natural gas resource mainly concentrates in the mid-western area, but the eastern area is the main consuming market.The essay analized the technical and economic problems existed in the gas transportation through pipeline, got the conclusion that the design and construction of gas pipeline have strong rigid. Once completed, the transportation route, process, equipment and materials have been set and can not to be changed basically. Because of the rigid, most of the gas pipeline can not be in the operation at the optimal parameters. In order to resolve the limitation which the technical and economic characters of the gas transportation pipeline brought and ensure the optimization of pipeline design, the gas pipeline network is needed. From the perspective of network, utilizing, coordinating and balancing each gas pipeline can take full advantages and can bring the maximum benefits. Afterwards, the essay researched the operation of the gas pipeline network in the direction of institiutional economics. The current construction and operation status were firstly introduced. The rigional pipeline network has formed in our country. But compared to the developed countries in the world, the scale and cover are small. Secondly, the magenement of the pipeline transportation enterprise was analized. Then, in the respective of property theory, the essay pointed out that controlling the company through the standard organization, proposed to attach importance to institutional arrangements and vertical integration controlling. The essay also took the cooperation between the pipeline transportation enterprise as one kind of transaction in the respective of transaction costs theory, sumed up the governance as the long-term relational contract. When problem appears, it should be solved privately, not resorting to the court, so that the transaction cost can be better saved. At last, the essay analized the necessity of the cooperation, raised proposals to strengthen the cooperation between the pipeline transportation enterprise.
