PetroChina Ramps Up Coalbed Gas Output
PetroChina Co (NYSE: PTR, SHA: 601857, HKG: 0857), the nation's biggest oil and gas explorer, has increased its target for annual coalbed gas production by 50% to six billion m3 by the end of 2015, PetroChina Coalbed Methane Co president Jie Mingxun said. "We are placing our focus on coalbed gas as mass production of shale gas is not attainable in the short term," Jie said, adding that the company will likely produce three billion m3 of coalbed gas this year. China is expected to produce 30 billion m3 of coalbed gas annually by the end of 2015, according to a five-year plan released earlier by the National Development and Reform Commission.
