Abstract: By the end of 2001, China has demonstrated 191 gas fields with a total proved reserve of 30 023×108m3 and remained recoverable reserve of 16 767.72×108m3. This will help China to be a big gas-producing country. Coal measures mainly generate gases, and oil secondarily. Till the beginning of 2001, the proved reserve of coal-formed gas accounts for 64% of total reserve in China. The present greatest 7 gas fields in China are all coal-formed types, which dominate domestic proved natural gas reserves. Presently, China has found 21 great gas fields, accounting for 59.8% of total gas reserve. There are 7 controlling factors in formation of a great gas field. The article has studied 31 indexes of identifying different natural gases.
