Chinese Gas Pipeline Networks
From Global Energy Monitor

Chinese Gas Pipeline Networks are the groups Global Energy Monitor (GEM) uses to sort China's gas pipelines. China is building gas pipelines on a vast scale, and these groups make the buildout easier to follow. These are largely GEM's categorization, not official Chinese networks.
How pipelines are grouped
Every gas pipeline in China belongs to one network. There are five kinds:
- Provincial gas networks: Pipelines that a province builds, or that run within one province or autonomous region. There are 26, one for each province or region with gas pipelines. Tibet is the only one without a provincial network.
- Municipal gas networks: The same for the four cities governed directly by the central government: Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin.
- China National Gas Pipelines: China's national trunk gas pipelines, most of them built by PetroChina, PipeChina, and other state-owned companies.
- China International Gas Pipelines: Gas pipelines that cross China's borders.
- China Interprovincial Gas Pipelines: Gas pipelines that cross provincial borders but belong to neither a provincial network nor the national trunk system.
