World non-renewable energy discussion

so now we have plans for a 45 BCM gas pipeline from Russia to Kazakhstan and China. China will need to build gas pipeline to bring that from Xinjiang in land, but they should sign this as long as terms are reasonable. I don't really care if LNG terminals sit idle. Why continue to buy LNG for hostile nations at higher prices?

so they added a little more than 10% in NG power plant capacity. That's still pretty minimal. Also, I think they are more used in the role of peakers, so not sure what the utilization looks like

They are also still building a lot of pipelines.

But it seems to me the energy supplied by NG is still quite small.

the discoveries continue

19 gas field at around or over 100 bcm were discovered

10 oil field at 100 million ton or more were discovered.

To put things in perspective, they were at 3.8 billion ton in oil reserve before this. And 6.68 trillion cubic meters. So added 1/4 to 1/3 more to both.
