Demonstrational Research Into The Rate Of Natural Gas Pipeline Transmission In China

The production and transmission of natural gas is playing an important role in everyr countries'development. Experts forecast that the proportion of natural gas in one-off energy consumption configuration would increase by 28% to 29% and natural gas would become another primary energy alongside oil. Natural gas resources mostly concentrated in Midwest China, yet China's natural gas market is mostly distributed in eastern China. Nowadays China is energetically constructing facilities for natural gas utilization. Several large natural gas pipelines have been built or will be built. However the economic problems related to natural gas, especially concerning the rate of transmission, has not been sufficiently regarded. Traditional ratemaking methods do not accord with the characteristics of natural gas pipeline transmission and do not fit with the up-to-date natural gas industry in China.First discussed were economic theories concerning natural monopolization industries. Next analyzed were the characteristics of natural gas pipeline transmission; cost, ratemaking principle, method of acquiring the pipeline transmission fee, constitution, calculate, management and control After that, wt; compared service cost methods with economic evaluation methods and the one-part pricing method with the two-part pricing method. Later on was introduced the regulate coefficient of pipeline transmission fee structure, established the modificatory two-part pricing method, and found out a natural gas pipeline transmission pricing method that is fit for China's current situation. Finally, we validated the rationality and applicability of this metho j by the demonstrational analysis on the natural gas pipeline transmission price of 'The Gas Transmission from West to East' pipelineThis paper's research fundamental is: the fundamental of natural gas pipeline transmission pricing should reflect the characteristics of natural gas pipeline transmission. The rate of natural gas pipeline transmission can cause the investor to increase or withhold investment. At the same time, we must take the support capability of consumers into account. The rate of natural gas pipeline transmission should be in favor of the sustainable development of the natural gas industryThe research method used examined demonstration analysis and criterion analysis together First, we analyzed the pricing methods of natural gas pipeline transmission in western countries and found out their commonness. Then, we deducted these methods. Last, we demonstrated the rationality of the method thought 'The Gas Transmission from West to East' pipeline.
