CHINA NATURAL GAS MAP 5
 
Published on August, 2012, China Natural Gas Map 5 (Chinese) took more time than its original schedule in 2011 since the research team was at the same time developing the China Petroleum Map products. The GPS-based 5th edition map, by no. of projects recorded, is 300% more than the 4th edition and 2,000%-5,000% more than similar products readers may find from elsewhere.
   

Main Updates:

No. of recorded natural gas projects was increased to 4,793;
Add 8 new types of projects: CBM, shale gas, gas process, coal-to-gas, gas storage, LNG satellite station, CNG and gas chemical;
Modify pipelines route on the basis of GPS technology;
Divide pipelines into 3 types (strategic, backbone and regional) by gas transport capacities, and, into 2 types (conventional and unconventional) by gas sources;
Divide gas power plants into 2 types by fuels (conventional gas and CBM);
Add extra segment maps for China’s 6 most promising segment gas markets;
Reduce font size of location names and delete report reference page & key project supplier name list to make room for containing booming number of projects;
Magnifier became a must to view the map detail.
