Nov 22 (Reuters) - As China struggles to rid cities of choking smog, an early priority for Beijing's economic reforms will likely be to force the state-owned companies that monopolise natural gas pipelines to open up to private gas producers, industry officials say.
The following lists China's main gas pipelines connecting fields in the west of the country to consumers in the east, as well as projects that pipe gas from central Asia and Myanmar, according to state energy group CNPC, state media and government websites.
China, the world's top energy user but the fourth-largest gas consumer, has three tiers of pipelines. Trunk lines from the fields built by the big state energy firms and intercity lines built by the state firms along with local government-backed gas firms. City grids delivering to consumers are run by firms such as ENN Energy.
