  Recently, a number of netizens left messages on the "Leadership Message Board" of People's Daily Online to reflect problems such as natural gas purchase restrictions and gas cutoffs, and officials from many places in Hebei responded.

Among them, Chimbusco was accused of insufficient gas source contracts throughout Hebei Province, and there was a gap between gas supply and demand.

  On December 30, 2022, a netizen in Xingtai, Hebei left a message on the "Leadership Message Board" of People's Daily Online and complained that Nijiazhuang Village, Renze District, Xingtai City had been unable to purchase natural gas, resulting in the inability to heat the home normally.

The old man passed the sun, his body was weak, and his body was frozen at home.

  The official reply of Renze District, Xingtai City on January 4, 2023 stated that the main leaders of the district party committee attached great importance to the problem that Nijiazhuang Village in Renze District had been unable to purchase natural gas reported by netizens, and immediately asked the District Housing and Construction Bureau and the District Development and Reform Bureau The bureau investigated the incident as soon as possible and gave netizens a satisfactory answer.

After investigation, the District Development and Reform Bureau and China Gas Company did not sign sufficient gas source contracts with upstream companies according to this year's demand, and it was difficult to maintain continuous supply guarantees, and purchase restrictions occurred. In this regard, our district coordinated the Development and Reform Bureau and China Gas Company to actively coordinate The superior department strives for policy support, signs a difference contract to meet the actual gas demand in our district, and solves this problem in a timely manner.

  The Paper noticed that the Xingtai Nangong Municipal Party Committee Office revealed in a unified reply to netizens’ messages recently that China Gas Company’s gas source contracts in Hebei Province were insufficient, resulting in a gap between gas supply and demand.

  On December 18, 2022, a netizen in Nangong City, Xingtai left a message on the "leadership message board" of People's Daily Online, saying that I am a villager in Dongxiaoma Village, Sucun Town, and that during the heating period, natural gas often cuts off without notice. Moreover, the purchase of gas is limited to 150 square meters per month. Normal heating is not enough for a month. Now the gas and supply are cut off frequently, which has seriously affected our lives. We cannot cook or heat. All become problems.

  On December 28, 2022, another netizen in Nangong City complained on the "Leadership Message Board" of People's Daily Online that Sucun Town of Nangong City uses natural gas wall-hung boilers for heating. It lasted just one night. Now there are elderly people and babies under five months old at home. They are often too cold to rest. The adults all catch colds. There are many people with colds and fevers in the town. I hope to solve the problem of heating for the people in the town. Non-stop gas, unlimited gas purchases.

  On December 30, 2022, the Nangong Municipal Party Committee Office of Xingtai responded in a unified manner, saying that after investigation and verification, the problems reported by netizens were true.

The main reason for this problem is that China Gas Company has insufficient gas source contracts throughout the province, and there is a gap between gas supply and demand.

In response to this problem, the relevant city leaders in our city have carried out coordination and dispatch, requiring enterprises to carry out rectification immediately to ensure that the masses will survive the winter warmly.

At the same time, the relevant departments actively report to the superiors, coordinate sufficient gas sources, do their best to ensure the gas source, and satisfy the people's daily gas consumption.

  However, on December 30, 2022, the Handan Municipal Government of Hebei Province responded to a netizen's message on the "Leadership Message Board" of People's Daily Online that "China Gas Company in Guantao County has stopped gas every night for more than a month" The upstream Sinopec pipeline was affected by the staggered peak adjustment pipeline pressure, resulting in insufficient downstream gas volume, resulting in insufficient gas supply.

Guantao County has applied for an increase in gas supply, which will gradually improve in the near future, and is expected to completely change the supply situation in early January 2023.

  On December 27, 2022, the Baoding Municipal Government of Hebei Province admitted in a reply to a netizen’s message on People’s Daily Online that “China Gas Company in Dingxing County has been restricting the purchase of gas” and admitted that the amount agreed in the contract between the gas company and the upstream gas supply company has not been adjusted in time. The gas supply affected the people's daily life in the area. After this situation occurred, the Dingxing County Government immediately interviewed the person in charge of the gas company and asked for immediate rectification, and reported the situation to the company headquarters to make a gas supplement in advance.

At the same time, gas companies are required to do everything possible to raise funds to ensure the supply of gas to ensure the gas demand of the masses.

In the next step, we will further supervise the gas companies to take effective measures and coordinate with upstream gas supply companies to ensure the supply of gas sources.

  On December 26, 2022, the People's Heart Hotline Service Center of Wangdu County, Baoding City responded to a netizen's message on People's Daily Online about "China Gas is still limited to purchase 100 cubic meters of gas per month during the heating season" and said: It was verified that it was caused by the shortage of upstream gas sources.

Through communication and coordination between the National Development and Reform Bureau, China Gas Company of Wangdu County and the upstream gas company, currently our county can purchase a maximum of 200 cubic meters of natural gas each time. The service station in the jurisdiction where it is located applies for purchase again, and rural gas instead of coal users can also pay gas fees in the WeChat mini-program "Yipinhui Life".

As for the problem of gas outage, it has been verified that due to the recent sudden drop in temperature, the gas pipeline is blocked by ice, the pressure is too low, and the gas source is insufficient, and some parts cannot be ventilated normally, which brings inconvenience to the majority of users. If problems are found, repairs will be carried out at any time to ensure that users can use gas normally and survive the winter warmly.

  On December 23, 2022, the Development and Reform Bureau of Daming County, Handan City responded to a netizen’s message on People’s Daily about “why there is always insufficient pressure leading to gas shutdown”, saying that in response to the problem of China Gas Company’s gas shutdown at night, the Development and Reform Bureau of Daming County Interviews have been conducted with Daming Chimbusco, requiring Chimbusco to quickly resolve the gas outage problem, and to actively communicate with higher-level companies to compete for gas sources.

After coordination, the upstream enterprise has approved the increase of gas volume in Damingzhong to 400,000 cubic meters per day.

Daming Chimbusco has started to use LNG facilities and purchased LNG to fill the shortage of pipeline gas.

The government has raised funds to start distributing gas subsidies.

In the next step, the Development and Reform Bureau will cooperate with the Bureau of Housing and Construction, the Market Supervision Bureau and other departments to strengthen the gas supply management of gas companies, strictly follow the principle of "protecting people's livelihood and key points", and do a solid job in ensuring the supply of natural gas.
