The demand for natural gas in daily production and life is increasing with the improvement of the social economy. Natural gas is a clean, pollution-free energy source and is widely used worldwide. However, the distribution of natural gas in China is uneven. Natural gas resources are relatively scarce in the economically developed eastern region of China, while in contrast, the sparsely populated western region is rich in natural gas resources. Therefore, to promote economic development effectively,...
