天然气是当前世界上一种重要的能源和化工原料,近几年在一些国家中发展很快。曾有人估计,天然气将与煤炭和石油一起成为目前世界上能源供应的三大支柱。根据我国的地质条件推断,天然气有着良好的远景,应加快天然气的勘探和开发,以满足日益增长的国民经济的需要。 Natural gas is an important energy and chemical raw material in the world today and has been developing rapidly in some countries in recent years. It has been estimated that natural gas, together with coal and oil, will become the three pillars of the world’s energy supply. According to the geological conditions in China, it is inferred that natural gas has a good prospect and should be accelerated exploration and development of natural gas to meet the needs of the growing national economy.
