Cost and risk factors of midstream storage and transportation of natural gas industry chain

Pipeline-transport pricing controls were strengthened. There is no unified standard for domestic natural gas pipeline transportation prices for the time being, basically in accordance with the "first-line, one-price" method, the pricing dominance is controlled in the hands of business enterprises, and the transportation costs are superimposed from the gas source to the main line to the provincial network to the terminal.

At present, the relevant competent authorities are gradually promoting the reform of the natural gas price mechanism.

In addition, according to the statistical results of Anxis research, the provincial natural gas pipeline transportation price is between 0.15 and 0.5 yuan /m3, and some provinces and regions are above 0.25 yuan /m3, and the price level is relatively high.

Some provinces and regions have successively introduced regulatory policies to strengthen anti-monopoly and cost restraint, comprehensively carry out pricing cost supervision and examination in key areas such as natural gas pipeline transportation, strictly check and validate, and carry out governance of illegal charging behaviors. It is expected that the price of pipe network transportation will fall, the gross profit will narrow, and it is necessary to develop a more reasonable and sustainable profit model.
