The forecast of China's natural gas proved reserves shows a steady upward trajectory from 2024 to 2028. The reserves are expected to grow from 11.65 trillion cubic meters in 2024 to 14.69 trillion cubic meters by 2028. Compared to a base estimate from 2023, these figures indicate an accelerating growth pattern. Year-on-year growth rates indicate a consistent increase, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) calculated to be significant over the upcoming five years, suggesting a robust expansion trend in natural gas reserves.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements that may boost extraction efficiency and reserve estimation accuracy.
Government policies targeting energy security and sustainability could impact reserves exploration.
Potential shifts in global energy markets affecting import/export dynamics and reserve management strategies.
