China shift to Gas number 1 priority: ASX SEH in sweet spot
 

Energy firms to cash in on China natural gas demand WASHINGTON China is expected to double its demand for natural gas in the next five years, making it an irresistible market for western companies attempting to export America's energy bonanza and to exploit China's own vast reserves.

Chinese cities are choking in smog, and its government is intent on moving the country away from coal to cleaner-burning natural gas, said Anne-Sophie Corbeau, a senior gas analyst for the International Energy Agency.

"This is becoming priority number one," Corbeau said on Tuesday as she presented the agency's forecast at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

Western energy companies are hoping to cash in by sending American natural gas overseas. BP last month signed a $20 billion deal to send liquefied natural gas in tankers to China starting in 2019, with much of the supply expected to come from an export plant in Freeport, Texas, that is awaiting federal approval.
