Sichuan-Chongqing area's economy, social development and natural gas industry has undergone rapid growth during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. To meet the development needs of the 14th Five-Year Plan period, this paper carried out a study of the current status of natural gas in Sichuan-Chongqing area and the growth prospect posed by the 14th Five-Year Plan. By sorting out the economic, social and natural gas development achievements in Sichuan-Chongqing region during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, incorporating an analysis on the potential provided by resources and policies, this paper studied and assessed the development situation of natural gas in this area during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The results show that: 1) during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the GDP of Sichuan-Chongqing area grew rapidly, and the proportion of clean energy supply and demand was significantly better than that of the whole nation; the rapid growth of natural gas production widened the gap between production and sales, and the gradual improvement in natural gas infrastructure further increases natural gas industry contribution to the regional GDP.2) Sichuan Basin has the largest natural gas resources in China, and the “dual-carbon” target and regional policies have helped to boost the development of natural gas.3) during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the development situation of natural gas in Sichuan-Chongqing area will be even better, with the production possibly maintaining peak growth, the role of storage and transportation infrastructure hub becoming more prominent, and the regional consumption market will be further optimized and improved. The study concluded that the social-economic development of the Sichuan-Chongqing area will accelerate the growth of natural gas industry, which in turn will fuel the social-economic development of the area. The quality of the natural gas industry development in the Sichuan-Chongqing area will be significantly improved during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
