Abstract:

Oil and gas，as important strategic resources，are related to national economy and people’s livelihood. The oil and
gas industry，due to its technical and economic characteristics，needs to strengthen supervision in natural monopoly aspects
and safety and environmental protection. Based on systematical analysis，this report has developed a roadmap for regulatory
reform in the next decade（2015—2025）on China’s oil and gas industry. Specifically，in the years between 2015 and 2020，
the main task is to amend the current laws and rules，and to improve current energy administration and regulatory system
to fully prepare for the progressive transition to a regulatory pattern with unified but internally separated policy-making and
regulation relationship；to open access to the fields of oil and gas exploration and development，oil and gas import and export，
oil refinery，circulation，gas wholesale and infrastructure construction and service. In the years between 2021 and 2025，new
fundamental laws and rules are to be developed so as to implement macro-management for oil and gas industry with concentrated
energy management mode，and according to the principle of separation of policy-making and regulation，an independent and
specialized oil and gas regulatory institution is to be established.

Key words: oil and gas industry, administrative rules and regulations concerning oil and gas management, energy management
pattern, separation of policy-making and regulation, economic supervision
