China is one of the fastest growing economies in the Asia Pacific region. Alongside this economic growth, the demand for energy is increasing continuously. At present, China has natural gas reserves of 80tcf and the majority of its gas fields are located in the western and north-central parts of the country. South Korea is the world's largest liquiefied natural gas (LNG) buyer after Japan and largely relies on gas imports to meet its domestic demand. The country has relied on LNG imports for its natural gas supply since 1986, but started producing 0.54bcm of natural gas from its Donghae-1 field in 2004. Major LNG exporters to South Korea are Qatar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Oman, Australia and Brunei and more recently Sakhalin. South Korea, in September 2008, signed a deal with Russian major gas supplier Gazprom to import 10bcm of natural gas annually starting from 2015. A natural gas pipeline via North Korea is proposed to import the gas, although the option of importing the gas as LNG is also possible if North Korea pulls out of the project. South Korea is also considering a major pipeline from the Kovytinkskye gas fields in Russia via China to supply 0.028 bcm of natural gas. Natural gas has emerged as a preferred fuel in India, mainly due to its inherent environmentally benign nature, greater efficiency and cost effectiveness. The demand for natural gas has sharply increased in the last two decades at a global level. In India too, the natural gas sector has gained importance, particularly over the last decade, and is being termed as the fuel of the 21st century. Although, at present, natural gas has a low share of 8% in India's primary energy mix, there is significant potential for gas in India. The share of natural gas in the primary energy mix for the world is around 25%. Singapore has no natural gas reserves of its own. It is completely dependent on imports for meeting its gas requirements. Oil is the dominant constituent of the primary energy mix, accounting for around 88% of the total. Natural gas is a relatively new addition to the primary energy mix, following its introduction in 1992, when gas was imported from Malaysia for the purpose of electricity generation at the Senoko power generating facility.
