China's shale gas production could hit 65 billion cubic metres by 2035, about six times the volume produced in 2018, according to a senior industry official of a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), writes Xu Yihe.
Zhao Wenzhi, president of CNPC-owned Petroleum Exploration & Development Research Institute, said that the country’s domestic gas production will peak at 280 Bcm by 2035, up from 162 Bcm reported last year, with shale gas expected to account for 25% of this volume.
