Nationwide natural gas wholesale and direct sales serving industrial, municipal, and power-generation buyers across China.
Natural Gas Sales is the core gas-marketing segment of PetroChina Company Limited, which describes itself as the most significant natural gas retailer in China with a sales network covering the entire country. In 2024 the group sold 287.753 billion cubic meters of natural gas, up 5.2 percent year over year, including 227.833 billion cubic meters in the domestic market.
The business combines wholesale gas marketing with expanding direct sales to end users, allocating both domestic and imported gas resources across long-term contracts and spot purchases, and supplies growing gas-fired power generation demand. PetroChina is listed in Shanghai (601857) and Hong Kong (0857), and its nationwide supply and trading operation overlaps the same Chinese industrial and municipal buyer pool served by independent gas suppliers.
