| LS state locates in the southwest of SiChuan province, which is360km wide from east to west and about370km long from south to north. There are some counties in the state, such as central city district, county A, etc. LS state is very rich in mineral resources with a high grade, buried deep, good mining conditions and high utilization value. In order to support the LS state economic construction and development, NX Pipeline Company proposed a long distance gas pipeline leading to the city of PZH and the LS state to solve natural gas supply problems in LS state.The market demand research of natural gas in LS state will provide basic informations for feasibility studies of long distance gas pipeline.Firstly, we investigated the State Development and Reform Commission, Bureau of Economic and Information, NBS, Electric Power Company, Gas Company, the Public Security Bureau, the Industrial park management committee and other related departments to get the second-hand information. Secondly, we did a field sampling survey to the big energy users of Central District and county A, there we got some first-hand informations. Finally, according to the relevant data, and using linear regression analysis and correlation coefficients, we predicted the Central City’s and county A’s natural gas demand during2014-2025year from four residents:residents of users, service commercial users, industrial users, CNG cars. In LS state the gas demand forecasts are36740000Nm3in2014,64040000Nm3in2015,304510000Nm3in2020and481010000Nm3in2025. |
