ABSTRACT
In China, the separation of pipeline network effectively promotes the process of natural gas marketoriented
reform and leads to the inclination of pipeline pricing autonomy to the middle party. In order to
strengthen the safety of pipeline operation, PipeChina tends to increase the investment cost and increase
the uncontrollability of pipeline price. Pipeline tariff is the bottleneck factor to adjust the revenue flow
between shippers and carriers. Analyzing the behavior strategy choice of shippers and carriers in price
game of pipeline transportation and exploring the supervision strategy of tariff are the key measures
to ensure the virtuous cycle of natural gas industry chain. Combined with the results of strategic game
among upstream companies, PipeChina and the Chinese government, it is found that PipeChina tends
to overinvest in the construction of ‘luxury pipelines’, which delays the transportation of upstream
companies. Therefore, it is urgent to introduce government supervision to regulate pipeline investment
and operation cost. Therefore, China should actively improve the laws and regulations on tariff,
promote the market mechanism of tariff, implement tariff based on the maximization of social welfare,
and establish the ‘joint management committee’ of tariff inspection department, so as to reasonably
regulate the pipeline tariff. This research was carried out with these main objectives to analysis on
Price Game of Natural Gas Pipeline Tariff under the Background of Pipeline Network Separation and
b) to Supervision Natural Gas Pipeline Tariff in China.
