According to Xinhua News Agency on October 5, the State Administration for Market Regulation announced that the International Organization for Standardization recently approved all 7 international natural gas standards led by China for project initiation. The standards cover key upstream areas of the industry chain, including shale gas exploration and development, natural gas carbon footprint accounting, natural gas reservoir core sampling, and natural gas hydrate testing. They will help establish globally unified technical rules for natural gas, and promote the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient global energy system.
