Policy Bottlenecks for Increasing Oil and Gas Reserves and Production in 14th Five-Year Plan Period and Suggestions on Countermeasures Pan Jiping 2021, 40(1): 7-14.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2021.01.002 Abstract ( )   PDF (1826KB) ( )   China overcame the impact of continual low oil prices on the country’s oil and gas upstream industry during the 13th Five-year Plan period, making a series of major discoveries in the field of exploration. As a result, the oil and gas reserves were raised significantly while the capacity for production and supply was apparently improved. The active progress was also made in market deregulation, withdrawal from blocks, competitive transfer of mining rights, paid use of resources, and protection of the ecological environment. However, as for increase of the oil and gas reserves, some policy bottlenecks appeared during the 14th Five-year Plan period owing to incompatibility between withdrawal and providence of oil and gas prospecting blocks, compatibility between more efforts for exploration and development and land use, sea use and protection of the ecological environment, and imperfect policies for high-cost risks for exploration and development and low-grade resources development. This paper comes up with a series of suggestions to implement the country’s relative strategies and policies and unify the efforts for promotion of reform, development and protection. Those suggestions include perfection of the competitive transfer system for oil and gas mining rights to accelerate establishment of oil and gas mining rights transfer system, perfection of the preferential policies for oil and gas exploration and development to accelerate technological innovation, and establishment and perfection of the unified coordination mechanism for exploration and development as well as ecological protection to satisfy the demand for reasonable and legal land and sea use to increase the reserves and production. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen supervision of exploration and development, maintain market fairness and improve efficiency of resources development and utilization while perfecting the oil and gas prizing mechanism and deregulating the oil and gas prices in the competition link.
