China aims to raise its domestic oil and gas supply to 440 million metric tons of oil equivalent by 2030, as part of a sweeping blueprint to bolster national energy security and optimize its infrastructure network, according to a newly released government plan.

The 15th Five-Year Plan for Petroleum and Natural Gas Development (2026-30), jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration on Monday, outlines key targets for production, transportation, and green transition over the next five years.

To strengthen energy distribution, the country plans to construct 20,000 kilometers of long-distance oil and gas pipelines by 2030. This expansion will increase the nation's total long-distance pipeline network to 220,000 km, significantly enhancing domestic supply chain resilience.

The plan also emphasizes expanding energy buffers. Natural gas storage capacity is projected to see continuous growth, targeted to account for more than 13 percent of the country's total natural gas consumption by 2030.

On the import and global trade front, China is moving to further diversify and secure its energy supply channels. The unloading capacity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminals will be expanded to 200 million tons per year, while the import capacity of onshore natural gas pipelines is scheduled to reach 114 billion cubic meters annually.

In addition to traditional energy security measures, the master plan firmly integrates the sector's low-carbon transition.

By 2030, the annual carbon dioxide injection volume through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) projects is projected to hit 10 million tons, supporting the oil and gas sector's alignment with China's broader decarbonization commitments, it said.
