The Third U.S./China Oil & Gas Industry Forum, took place in Beijing, September 11, 2001. The second day of this meeting was canceled; however, proceedings for the entire two-day agenda are posted on this website.
Outcomes:
The Forum continued to use a panel-discussion format, facilitating open dialogue. Discussions were focused around three themes - National Energy Policies and Plans, Regulatory Issues, and The Specifics of Implementation. In addition, several case study sessions examined natural gas contracts, clean transportation fuels in the U.S., and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's project, Expanding Natural Gas Utilization in China. The third Forum initiated participation by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA) and led to a new natural gas training institute, funded for two years by TDA and China’s State Development and Reform Commission.
