On the 15th, it was learned from the 2026 National Energy Work Conference that China's oil and gas production will reach a new historical high in 2025, with crude oil production of about 215 million tons and natural gas production exceeding 260 billion cubic meters, increasing production by more than 10 billion cubic meters for nine consecutive years. Wang Hongzhi, Director of the National Energy Administration, stated that in 2025, China's energy security guarantee will be strong and effective, and the supply guarantee effect will be the best year since the 14th Five Year Plan. It will effectively respond to the peak summer electricity load test of 20 times exceeding last year's peak, and the "Seven Year Action Plan" for increasing oil and gas reserves and production will come to a successful end. The level of complementary and mutually beneficial energy resources will continue to improve, and the security situation of the power system will remain stable. In terms of complementary and mutually beneficial energy resources, we will optimize the layout of national power flow, strengthen the construction of cross provincial and cross regional transmission channels, approve and approve five inter regional power mutual aid projects including Fujian and Jiangxi, and approve the commencement of the Tibet Guangdong direct current ultra-high voltage transmission project. The national west to east power transmission capacity will reach 340 million kilowatts. The third and fourth lines of the West East Gas Pipeline have been fully put into operation, the first section of the second line of the Sichuan East Gas Pipeline has been completed and put into operation, the provincial oil and gas pipeline network has steadily integrated into the national oil and gas pipeline network, and the mileage of long-distance oil and gas pipelines has reached 200000 kilometers. The export volume of coal from major production areas exceeds 1.9 billion tons. Wang Hongzhi stated that in 2026, energy work will promote the achievement of higher levels of energy security, consolidate the foundation of coal supply guarantee, improve the level of electricity supply guarantee, enhance the production and supply capacity of oil and gas, optimize the layout of energy backbone channels, and enhance the intrinsic security level of energy infrastructure.
