Abstract: The natural gas resources in China is quite rich, the recoverable gas resources amount occupies the important position in the world. However, the natural gas resources are in huge imbalance in regional and basinal distributions. At present, the low proved degrees of natural gas resources in China indicate its natural gas industry is in a fast-developing stage, the reserves and output are expected to increase in large scale in the near-and mid-term. In view of the characteristics and the exploration potentials of natural gas resources, the five pieces of specific suggestions concerning the development in China's natural gas industry are proposed as following: To increase scientific and technological research investment, depend upon scientific and technological progress for promoting natural gas industry development in continuing and high speed; to take the gas resources as foundation, the market outlook as chance for speeding up the natural gas exploration and exploitation steps and constructing as soon as possible three major gas production bases in the central, western and offshore areas; to develop the natural gas vigorously, raise gas production for optimizing the energy structure; to strengthen the natural gas pipe network construction and improve the pricing mechanism of natural gas; to perfect regulations and policies for oil and gas resources in China.
