Chinas Gas Choices
Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei: Burgeoning
demand faces midstream bottlenecks
We take a detailed look at the gas supply-demand outlook for Beijing, Tianjin
and Hebei provinces with the worst air quality problems in China, and that we
expect to account for one-fourth of incremental Chinese gas demand growth
over the next decade. We foresee an implied gas shortage of c.30bcm or one-
third of the provincial gas demand targets by 2020e, with lack of midstream
infrastructure the key bottleneck (pipelines, LNG regas, and gas storage). We
conclude that if these provinces want to improve air quality, via increased gas
usage, then a wave of new midstream projects is urgently required.
An insatiable thirst for gas in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei
demand to quadruple by 2020e
The major structural tailwind for gas demand growth in these provinces is the
growing resolve to enforce a switch from coal/oil to gas for industrial boilers,
powergen, vehicles and residential. Based on our bottom-up work, we forecast
gas demand in these provinces to grow 21% pa (almost double the national
average) to reach 70bcm by 2020e - at which point these provinces would
account for 18% of China gas demand, and would have contributed to a 70mt or
2% cut in national coal consumption.
Gas supply rising fast but midstream capacity has to more
than double to realize government demand targets
During the same period, based on existing and confirmed new capacity, we
expect total gas supply to these provinces to grow an impressive 17% pa, but
this still falls 37% short of the provincial demand targets due to midstream
constraints. In our view, this implied shortage provides impetus to commission
Kunluns Shaanjing line-5 (15bcm; on top of line-4 under construction), LNG
regas expansion projects, and/or formalize the agreement with Russia.
Structurally long the mid/downstream players
Our forecast gas shortage structurally underpins gas volume growth for Kunluns
Shaanjing pipelines at least until the end of this decade. We raise our Kunlun
price target by 10% to HK$22 on higher transmission volumes and a higher
implied target PE. China Suntien benefits from its leveraged downstream gas
exposure in Hebei and we raise our price target by 36% to HK$4.75.
A wave of new midstream projects needs to be commissioned soon

Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei: Burgeoning
demand faces midstream bottlenecks
In this edition of Chinas Gas Choices we take a detailed look at the gas supply-
demand outlook for Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei provinces with the worst air
quality problems in China and provinces that we forecast will account for one-fourth
of incremental Chinese gas demand growth over the next decade. This note
complements our detailed work in Light My Fire, which looked at overall China gas
supply-demand dynamics.
An insatiable thirst for gas in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei demand to
quadruple by 2020e
As an extreme example of the air quality issues facing these provinces, PM2.5
emissions in Beijing reached 35x the WHO-recommended daily health safety
limit during peak smog last year.
These provinces target cutting annual coal consumption by 63mt or 16% by
2017 (vs. 2012), to help cut PM2.5 emissions by 25% over the same period.
The major structural tailwind for gas demand in these provinces is the growing
resolve to enforce a switch from coal/oil to gas industrial boilers, powergen,
vehicles and residential.
We forecast gas demand from these provinces to grow 21% pa over the next
seven years (almost double the national average) to 70bcm by 2020e, at which
point these provinces would account for 18% of overall Chinese gas demand
(vs 11% today).
Gas supply rising fast but faces midstream constraints
The Kunlun Energy/Beijing Enterprises operated Shaanjing or Shaanxi-Beijing
pipelines cater to c.90% of gas demand in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and will
remain the major conduit of supply (70%+) until the end of this decade.
Based only on existing and confirmed new capacity we expect total available
gas supply to these provinces to rise an impressive 17% pa, but this still falls
37% short of the provincial demand targets due to midstream constraints.
Our preferred Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei gas growth plays
If Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei want to improve air quality, via increased gas
usage, then Shaanjing line-5 (on top of line-4 under construction), and the
Tangshan and Tianjin LNG regas expansion projects must break ground.
We raise our Kunlun price target by 10% to HK$22 on higher transmission
volumes and a higher implied target PE. China Suntien benefits from its
leveraged downstream gas exposure in Hebei, and we raise our price target by
36% to HK$4.75.

Stock Implications
We see multiple stock/sector implications as a result of the burgeoning gas demand growth
outlook for Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
Structurally long the mid/downstream players: We raise our Kunlun price target by
10% to HK$22, on higher transmission volumes and a higher implied target PE. We now
model 24%/17% y/y gas transmission volume growth for Kunlun's Shaanjing pipeline
over 2014/15, above consensus at ~10-15% y/y growth. We continue to think the risk-
reward for Kunlun is compelling, with potential 60-95% base-bull fair value upside
potential versus 20% downside in a low probability bear scenario. China Suntien
(covered by Patrick Dai) benefits from its leveraged downstream gas exposure in Hebei
and we raise our price target by 36% to HK$4.75. Also China Resources Gas (covered
by Gary Chiu) will benefit from downstream gas volume growth in Tianjin.
Play upstream growth via oilfield services, rather than PetroChina or Sinopec. We
believe it is likely that PetroChina will continue to be responsible for the majority of the
new upstream gas required to satisfy Chinas rapidly growing gas demand. This role has
unambiguously destroyed shareholder value thus far and we continue to see such work
as more social duty than value creation. Our preferred upstream gas volume related
plays remain the independent oilfield service provides Petroking (Outperform, HK$6.9
PT 92% upside) and Anton (Outperform, HK$7.5 PT 35% upside), rather than
PetroChina (Neutral rating) or Sinopec (Underperform rating). Separately, while
Datang International Power (Neutral rating) will benefit from coal-to-gas volume
growth in Beijing, the impact on group EPS is minimal.

Remain cautious on thermal coal sector. We estimate annual coal consumption in
Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will decline 70mt or 20% by 2020e, due to the expected coal-
to-gas switch. While the absolute impact on coal demand is not large from a national
perspective (~2%), this trend supports our expectation for a slowdown in Chinas coal
demand growth to 2-3% in the next few years, and we maintain our Underperform
ratings on Yanzhou Coal, Fushan and Hidili.
Further we highlight three non-rated stocks that could benefit from this forecast gas
growth in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei: Beijing Enterprises (not rated) could directly benefit
from higher gas transmission volumes (as it controls 40% of Shaanjing pipeline) and
downstream gas volumes in Beijing; Beijing Jingneng (not rated) could benefit from
gas-fired powergen growth in Beijing; CIMC Enric (not rated) could benefit in the
medium term from LNG equipment growth.
Risk-reward outlook for our key stock picks
Fig 9 Kunlun still offers a compelling risk-reward valuation skew

Base: HK$22.0/sh @ 15.8x base HK$1.40/sh 2015e EPS, 60% TSR
upside
Gas transmission: 24%/17% y/y gas transmission vol growth in
2014/15e, and flat EBITDA margins
Natural gas sales (incl LNG): 38%/20% y/y gas sales volume
growth, and a rebound in EBITDA margins to Rmb0.42/cu.m in
2014/15 (from Rmb0.34/cu.m)
E&P: $106/109/bbl realized oil prices in 2014/15e
LNG regas: 95% utilization rates, backed by take-or-pay contracts
Target 15.8x 2015 PE, 10% disc to HK/China gas sector, backed by
DCF.
Bull: HK$26.8/sh @ 18x bull target PE, 95% upside
Assuming no valuation gap to the HK/China gas sector.
Bear: HK$10.9/sh @ 7.8x bear target PE, 20% TSR downside
Pipelines sold at acquisition cost; further PE suppression related to
senior exec investigations.
Risks to our base case thesis
Pipeline tariff cuts; inability to pass on rising upstream gas costs;
higher than forecast capex would imply higher DD&A and a delay in
achieving +ve FCFs.
Source: Datastream, Macquarie Research, March 2014
Fig 10 Suntien (covered by Patrick Dai) risk-reward shows limited downside for material potential upside

Base: HK$4.75/sh, 39% TSR upside, gas market share in Hebei falls
to 15% in 2020 from 27% in 2012
Natural gas sales: 16%/17% y/y gas sales volume growth in
2014/15e, average ASP increase by 3% pa, and gross margins
rebound to Rmb0.48-0.49/cu.m in 2014/15 (from Rmb0.47/cu.m),
gas sales vol CAGR 15% in 2014-2020.
Wind power sales: 21%/26% y/y wind power revenue growth, new
capacity addition 400MW pa in 2014/15 (up from 150MW-250MW
pa) , and 85%/86% EBITDA margins in 2014/15
TP from DCF implies 16.1x 2015 PE, 10% disc to HK/China gas
sector (from 30% disc), 17% prem to valuation derived from sum-of-
the-parts.
Bull: HK$6.15/sh, 70% upside, gas market share falls to 20% in 2020
Implies 20.9x 2015PE, 20% gas sales vol CAGR in 2014-2020.
Bear: HK$3.00/sh, 20% TSR downside, gas gross margin falls to
Rmb0.4/cu.m by 2020
Implies 10.6x 2014PE, assuming 70% cost hike pass-through.
Risks to our base case thesis
Inability to pass on rising upstream gas costs; lower than forecast
receivable turnover imply a delay in achieving +ve FCFs.

Gas demand to rise four-fold by 2020e
We expect Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to account for one-fourth of incremental Chinese
gas demand growth over the next decade.
Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have the worst air quality problems in China. As an
extreme example, PM2.5 emissions in Beijing reached nearly 35x the WHO-
recommended daily health safety limit in Jan-13.
These provinces target cutting annual coal consumption by 16% by 2017 versus 2012,
in turn to help cut PM2.5 emissions by 25% during the same period.
The major structural tailwind for gas demand in these provinces is the growing resolve to
enforce the switch from coal/oil to gas industrial boilers, powergen, vehicles,
residential.
Over the next seven years, we forecast gas demand from these provinces to grow 21%
pa, or an average increase of 7.5bcm pa, to 70bcm by 2020e, at which point these
provinces would account for 18% of overall Chinese gas demand.
Our bottom-up demand forecasts are lower than the provincial target of 84bcm by 2020e,
due to more conservative assumptions.
Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei together consumed 18.2bcm of gas in 2013, representing 11% of
overall Chinese gas demand. Till the end of this decade, we forecast demand from these
regions to grow 21% cagr (well above the industry trend of 13% cagr) and reach 70bcm or
18% of overall Chinese demand by 2020e. These provinces have the highest concentration of
PM2.5 emissions in China (fig 16), and the growing resolve to improve air quality by
accelerating the switch from coal to gas is a major tailwind supporting gas demand in these
provinces.

The Airborne Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan introduced by Chinas
Ministry of Environment Protection in Sept-13 calls for a 10% reduction in nationwide PM2.5
emissions by 2017, from 2012 levels. The plan outlines 35 broad action points, including
cutting coal consumption in several regions, banning heavy polluting motor vehicles, and
accelerating the process of monitoring and disclosing PM2.5 readings. Over the same time
frame, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei target cutting PM2.5 emissions by at least 25%. Towards
achieving these PM2.5 emissions cut goals these provinces target cutting coal consumption
by 63mt or 16% of 2012 coal consumption (fig 18).

Beautiful China The Proven Path Towards Cleaner Air
Macquarie Analysts: Jiong Shao, Jing Yang
Beautiful China (II) - The proven paths towards cleaner air
In The Proven Path Towards Cleaner Air, our strategy team reviews the history of air pollution controls in the United Kingdom,
United States, and Japan, to shed some light on how China may proceed to combat air pollution. They outline the necessary
changes in Chinas anti-pollution legislations and regulatory regimes for sustainable environmental protection in the coming
decades identifies, and also highlight three near-term priorities for China;
Coal Control Areas to cut emissions from coal combustion (referring to the smokeless zones in the UK)
The designation of Coal Control Area in London and other cities were widely recognized as the most effective air
pollution control measures in response to the 1952 Great Smog. The measure directly led to the energy consumption
structure shift in the country towards cleaner fuels. In January 2013, immediately after several days of severe smog,
Beijings municipal government introduced Coal Control Areas calling for a ban in coal consumption in the fourth ring
road by 2014, and in the sixth ring road by 2015.
Stricter emission limits for industrial plants (referring to the 1968 UK Clean Air Act):
In mid-February 2013 the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China announced that from March 2013, stricter
emission standards would be implemented for greenfield projects of coal-fired plants/boilers, steel mills, petrochemical,
non-ferrous and chemical plants, and also for retro-fit projects of coal-fired plants/boilers, steel mills and petrochemical
plants in over 47 cities and 19 provinces. In addition the Airborne Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan
introduced in Sept-13 calls for a 10% reduction in nationwide PM2.5 emissions by 2017, from 2012 levels.
Gasoline & diesel quality upgrades to reduce emissions from automobiles (referring to the US Ultra-Low Sulphur
Gasoline/Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel standards).
Since 2006, refiners in the US are required to supply Ultra-Low Sulphur Gasoline and Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel to
reduce sulphur levels in these fuels by 90% and 97%, respectively. In Feb-2013 the State Council of China announced
to accelerate refined oil quality upgrades, by 1) strictly implementing the existing gasoline and diesel standards (with
max sulphur content at 50ppm and 350ppm), and 2) accelerating publication and promotion of new National IV & V
diesel standards and National V gasoline standards.
All these measures highlighted are a clearly step in the right direction, and serve as major structural tailwind for gas demand
growth in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei provinces with some of the worst air quality problems in China.

Beijing
Beijing is currently the fifth-largest consumer of gas in China, and demand has grown 13%
cagr over the past five years (2008-13), broadly in line with the industry growth trend. The
severe smogs in Beijing in January 2013, when PM2.5 emissions in Beijing touched 886/
cu.m or 35x the WHO- recommended health safety levels, raised concerns domestically and
internationally. Recent official rhetoric and policy suggest Beijing is getting more serious on
solving its pollution problems, and as things stand gas is the only viable substitute for coal in
Beijing. By 2017, the NDRC (National Development and Reform Commission) expects Beijing
to cut annual coal consumption by at least 13mt (56% versus the 2012 baseline), and projects
gas demand to rise to 24bcm (2.5x 2013 levels) or 35% of the local energy mix (from 14% in
2013). Based on our bottom-up work, we forecast Beijings gas demand to rise to 18.6bcm by
2017 (17% cagr 2013-17e) and 25.1bcm by 2020 (15% cagr 2013-20e), lower than the
provincial targets due to more conservative assumptions. Our work indicates the provincial
coal demand destruction targets are achievable; we forecast a 15.5mt cut to coal demand
versus the target of at least 13mt by 2017.

Powergen Beijing currently has 4.2GW of gas-fired powergen capacity and targets
having 7.2GW capacity by end-2014, rising to 8.6GW by end-2017. Beijing Jingneng is
the main gas-fired IPP in Beijing and is set to add 2.5GW of capacity by 2017, followed
by Datang (1.4GW NW centre), and Guohua (0.7GW NE centre). By the end of 2015,
Beijing plans to have decommissioned all four existing coal-fired power plants with a
combined 2.7GW capacity. While the cost of gas-fired powergen in Beijing is more
expensive than coal, the on-grid tariff for gas is now ~65% more than that for coal.
Further, the Beijing government also provides subsidies (~Rmb0.05/KWh) to broadly
ensure that the power plant operator makes an 8% IRR. Based on the gas-fired
powergen capacity additions, and assuming Beijing continues to generate one-third of its
electricity needs locally, we forecast gas demand from powergen to rise to 9.3/12.6bcm
by 2017/20e, from 4.4bcm in 2013a, and during the same time this results in a 11.9mt cut
in coal consumption.

Industrial Beijing targets banning coal consumption from industrial boilers in the 4
th

ring road by end-2014, and the 6
th
ring road by end-15. To date 93 boilers have been
retrofitted to use gas, and over the next couple of years another 44 boilers should be
converted (note that the typical size of an industrial boiler in Beijing is nearly three times
the nationwide average). In addition to the demand growth due to the coal-to-gas switch,
historically industrial gas demand has had an extremely strong correlation with GDP
growth (R
2
98%). Consequently, if we assume 7% sustainable growth long-term GDP,
we forecast underlying industrial gas demand to grow at 10% pa. Put together, we
forecast industrial gas demand to rise to 5.6/7.4bcm in 2017/20e, from 2.9bcm in 2013a.
Residential In 2013, 66% of Beijings 21mn population had access to gas nearly 2x
the nationwide average. By 2017, Beijing targets to increase the residential gas
penetration rate to 80%. Further, with rising household incomes, gas demand per capita
has been growing at 2% pa over the past five years. Consequently as more households
get access to gas and with rising consumption per capita, we forecast residential gas
demand to rise to 1.7/2.2bcm by 2017/20e, from 1.1bcm in 2013a.
NGVs Beijing targets converting two-thirds of its 21k bus fleet to gas or EV by 2015;
and also targets 200k new energy vehicles by 2017e. Over the next seven years, we
assume a steady ramp-up in LNG/CNG truck/buses to 42k by 2020e or 20% of the
provincial commercial vehicle fleet (from 3.5k in 2013), and 50k CNG-based taxis in
2020e (from 6.5k today). Consequently, we model gas demand from NGVs to grow to
1.4/2.2 bcm in 2017/20e, from 0.4bcm in 2013a.

Tianjin
120km south of Beijing, the coastal province of Tianjin currently consumes one-third the gas
of Beijing. However, Tianjin is set to quickly close the gas consumption gap to Beijing and
local authorities have aggressive plans in place to quadruple gas demand over the next two
years to 12.3bcm by 2015. By 2020, Tianjin expects gas demand to rise to 23.6bcm and
account for 20% of its primary energy mix. We conservatively assume a more gradual ramp-
up in gas demand to 13.3/19.3bcm in 2017/20e, implying 28% cagr (2013-20e). We forecast
an 8.7mt cut to annual coal consumption by 2017, slightly lower than the 10mt provincial
target.

Powergen Tianjin commissioned the 250MW GreenGen plant in 2013; Chinas coal
gasification powerplant (integrated gasification combined cycle; coal is converted to
syngas and then combusted). GreenGen is funded by a group of power companies led by
Huaneng. By end-2015 Tianjin targets to have more than 5GW of gas-fired capacity with
Huaneng, Datang, Guodian, Huadian, and China Power New Energy all bringing on
stream new capacity. Beyond these known capacity addition projects, we assume
another 2GW of capacity to be added between 2017-20e. Consequently, we forecast gas
demand from powergen to rise to 6.3/9.0bcm by 2017/20e, from 0.7bcm in 2013a.

Industrial Tianjin plans to retrofit 132 coal-fired boilers to gas by end-2015, and
expects gas demand from these boilers to reach 3.58bcm in 2015. Further, Tianjins Gas
Heat Planning Institute expects a steady increase in the use of gas for central heating/
cooling by commercial users to 1.74bcm in 2015. In addition, if we assume GDP-driven
10% pa underlying industrial gas demand growth (similar to that for Beijing), we forecast
gas demand from industrial to increase to 4.7/6.2bcm by 2017/20e, from 2.1bcm in
2013a.
Residential As on end-2013, 48% of Tianjins 14mn population had access to gas.
Assuming the residential penetration rate rises gradually to 80% by 2020e (in line with
Beijings target but with a three-year lag), and assuming 3% pa increase in gas demand
per capita, in line with the trend over the past three years, we model residential gas
demand to rise to 0.9/1.3bcm in 2017/20e, from 0.5bcm in 2013a.
NGVs Tianjin plans to have more than 20k NGVs by 2015. We model the number of
LNG trucks/buses in Tianjin to rise to 58k by 2020, implying a commercial vehicle NGV
penetration rate of 20% by 2020 (at the top end of NDRCs target of a 10-20% nationwide
commercial vehicle penetration rate by 2020 for NGVs), from less than 1% today. In
addition we assume the number of CNG taxis increases to 25k by 2020, from c.3k today,
implying an 80% taxi penetration rate. Put together, we forecast NGV gas demand to rise
to 1.4/2.5bcm in 2017/20e, from essentially zero today.

Hebei
Hebei is the largest consumer of coal in China, and unsurprisingly its air quality problems are
worse than that in Beijing and Tianjin. In 2013, Hebei announced a multi-pronged strategy to
cut PM2.5 emissions by at least 25% and annual coal consumption by 40mt by 2017,
including: decommissioning cement and steel factories (see Environmental restrictions curb
North China Output, 6-Jan); retrofitting all coal-fired boilers in Shijiazhuang, Tangshan etc;
and bringing on stream new gas and wind power plants. Hebei expects its gas demand to rise
to 15bcm by 2017, from 5.2bcm in 2013. Based on our bottom up work, we model 15.0/
26.1bcm in 2017/20e, implying 26% cagr between 2013-20e. We estimate the switch from
coal to gas alone would cut Hebeis annual coal consumption by 20mt by 2017, or half the
provincial target.

2020e with industrial and powergen accounting for a
bulk of growth

Powergen Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei province, issued its own five-year
plan on gas in Oct-13, calling for the construction of three new gas-fired power plants (of
which two would be constructed by Huadian) with a combined capacity of 2.4GW and an
expected 2015 start-up. Further, we assume an additional 2.5GW of capacity gets
commissioned across Hebei between 2016-20e. Consequently, we forecast gas demand
from powergen to rise to 6.4bcm by 2020e, from 0.5bcm in 2013a, but this would still
imply that gas accounts for only 6% of Hebeis powergen mix by 2020e.
Industrial Overall Hebei plans to retrofit all 1765 coal-fired boilers in the province to
gas by 2017. By 2013, nearly 700 boilers had been converted, with 329 conversions
coming in 2013 alone. For instance, Shijiazhuang has already converted its ~600 coal-
fired boilers to gas by end-2013, and targets all petchem plants to use gas for its local
electricity needs by 2017; Tangshan plans to convert all its coal-fired boilers to gas by
end-2015 and targets the penetration rate for gas among industrial customers to rise to
30%/80% by 2015/20e; and Handan, Xintai, Baoding etc. have similar conversion targets
in place. We conservatively assume another 800 boilers are converted by 2020e; taking
the total conversions to 1500, below the 1765 target by 2017. This then equates to 21%
cagr industrial gas demand growth to 12.6bcm by 2020e.
Residential As of end-2013, only 16% of Hebeis 74mn population had access to gas,
nearly half the nationwide average. We assume the residential penetration rate rises
gradually to 50% by 2020e, and gas demand per capita increases 2% pa (similar to that
in Beijing and Tianjin). Consequently we expect residential gas demand to rise to 2.0/
3.5bcm in 2017/20e, from 0.8bcm in 2013a.

NGVs We havent come across any specific NGV targets for Hebei, apart from noting
that Shijiazhuang plans to add 30/105 LNG/CNG stations by end-2016. We assume 5%
of Hebeis 1.4mn truck fleet converts to LNG by 2020; note that the NDRCs nationwide
target is 10-20% NGV penetration rate for commercial vehicles by 2020. We model NGV
gas demand to grow to 2.1/3.5bcm in 2017/20e, from 0.6bcm in 2013a.

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei summary demand outlook
Putting things together, we expect overall gas demand in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to
grow by an average increase of 7.5bcm pa to 47/70bcm in 2017/20e, implying 21% cagr
between 2013-20e. By 2020, we expect these provinces will account for 18% of overall
Chinese gas demand, from 11% today.
Our bottom-up demand forecasts are lower than the provincial target of 84bcm by 2020e,
due to more conservative assumptions.

Demand seasonality and gas storage
Gas demand in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei peaks in winter (mid-Nov to mid-Mar) due to higher
demand from residential and commercial users for space heating needs. To get a sense of
the scale of gas demand seasonality in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, in fig 33 we show the
estimated monthly average gas demand split between winter and non-winter months, and
highlight that typically demand for gas in winter months is ~2.5x that in summer months.
Further, since residential users receive top priority in terms of gas supply allocation, these
provinces are forced to rationalize supply to industrial customers, due to the under-
utilization/lack of gas storage facilities. For example, in 2013, gas supply to chemical fertilizer
producer Cangzhou Dahua and auto maker Great Wall Motor was curtailed due to the surge
in winter gas demand (see Great Wall Motor Company - Running low on gas).

To cater to swing demand in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, currently there are two gas
storage facilities (Dagang and Huabei) with a combined 5bcm working storage capacity
at end- 2013, or 28% of annual gas demand. For perspective, storage typically accounts
for 10-20% of demand in most developed gas markets. However in 2013, only 2.3bcm of
gas was supplied to these provinces from storage (mainly from Dagang), or 13% of
annual demand. In turn the main reason for the apparent underutilization of storage was
that Huabeis Suqiao expansion project was only commissioned towards the end of the
gas injection season. Further, over the next two years we expect another ~5bcm of
storage capacity to be added in Huabei (Suqiao phase-2, Daxingli phase 1-2) taking total
gas storage capacity to 10bcm by 2015e. Assuming an average 70% utilization rate
for these gas storage facilities, we estimate volumes supplied via storage to
Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei would account for ~20% of annual demand.
In addition we note that the Tangshan and Tianjin LNG regas terminals that started in
Nov-13 should also help cater to swing demand in these provinces.

Further, in Jan-14, the NEA published a circular calling for more active management and
increased supervision over local gas supply. In Feb-14, the NEA said that it would
monitor fair/open access to the oil and gas pipeline network and storage facilities
in order to ensure stable supply to the market. To this end the NEA has also set up
six regional supervisory bureaus in North China. In our view open access (if implemented
properly) would be a major positive, since it would provide further gas supply visibility.
Implications for coal demand
Based on the forecast switch from coal-fired boilers to gas, and simultaneous decline in
market share for coal-fired powergen, we forecast coal demand from Beijing, Tianjin and
Hebei to cumulatively decline by 70mt by 2020e (target 63mt by 2017), equivalent to 22% of
coal demand from these provinces. Our base case assumptions imply that Beijing and Tianjin
would largely meet annual coal consumption targets by 2017 solely from increasing the share
of gas in the energy mix, whilst gas would only partly help Hebei wean off its obsession with
coal.
Fig 37 Annual coal demand destruction of 70mt, or 2% of total China demand

Source: CEIC, NDRC, Macquarie Research, March 2014
We estimate that coal consumption in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei were around 21.5mnt,
50mnt, and 250mnt respectively in 2013. Cutting 63mnt coal consumption by the end of 2017
implies 20% decline from current levels. However, given the fact that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei
region only accounted for 8.3% of Chinas total coal consumption in 2013, the impact on coal
demand is not large from a national perspective, and is in line with our forecast that Chinas
coal demand growth will slow down to 2-3% in the next few years.
Oversupply in 2014/15e and mid-term price fluctuation at cost curve: despite slower
demand growth, oversupply may remain in the mid-term due to high capacity growth in
Shanxi. According to Shanxi Coal Mine Safety Supervision, 524 mines are under construction
in the province. Including these, Shanxi has a capacity of 1.2bnt (vs. 910mnt output in 2012).
80 of the 524 mines may start to contribute by 2013 y/e (70-80mnt capacity), with the majority
being coking coal. Under the current weak prices/strict safety rules, there may be delays in
construction; yet these extra capacities should put a ceiling on coal prices, especially coking
coal prices. Mid-term price is likely to fluctuate around the cost curve at Rmb 550-600/t.
Cost curve to drop further in mid-term: Industry consultants CCTD and Fenwei believe
there is room for cost cuts, especially admin costs. Production costs may still be cut by
RMB30-50/t in 2014-15F. Railway bottlenecks are likely to be solved by end-2015, when
major new railways are due to be completed. Resources tax may have limited impact on
thermal coal but the impact may be big for coking coal, likely around 3-5% of mine-mouth
price. However, the government will probably clear up other fees and levies by the end of this
year, so the incremental burden might be limited to ~Rmb 5/t for thermal coal per CCTD and
China Coal. Again, the impact to coking coal may be much bigger.

Cautious on thermal coal and bearish on coking coal: Taking into account the oversupply
in 2014-15E with large capacity growth in Shanxi restructured mines, Indonesia output growth
and only 2-3% pa demand growth, we maintain our cautious view on the thermal coal sector
and are bearish on coking coal. We see thermal coal fluctuating at the cost curve at
RMB580/t in 2014 (relatively stable y-y) and RMB550/t in 2015, while we cut the China HCC
price by 10-15% for 14/15. We keep our Neutral rating for Shenhua (1088 HK, HK$19.30, TP:
HK$27.00) and China Coal (1898 HK, HK$3.78, TP: HK$4.20), and maintain Yanzhou (1171

earnings declines forecast in 14-15 (6-53%).

Gas supply rising fast but faces midstream
constraints
At present the Kunlun Energy/Beijing Enterprises-operated Shaanjing or Shaanxi-
Beijing gas pipelines cater to more than 90% of gas demand in Beijing, Tianjin and
Hebei. Even with Keqi coal-to-gas, Tangshan and Tianjin LNG regas terminals, these
pipelines would remain the major conduit of supply (70%+) to these provinces until the
end of this decade.
The major sources of gas supply to the Shaanjing pipelines are local production from the
Ordos basin, and gas volumes via the West-East pipelines (in turn supplied by
Turkmen imports and the Tarim basin).
Based only on existing and confirmed new capacity we expect total available gas supply
to these provinces to grow an impressive 17% pa to 53bcm by 2020e.
Our analysis indicates that the gas supply to these provinces could easily increase by at
least another 25bcm (i.e. taking total supply to ~80bcm), if new midstream capacity gets
commissioned.
In 2013, 92% of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebeis combined 18.2bcm gas demand was supplied via the
Kunlun Energy/Beijing Enterprises-operated Shaanjing or Shaanxi-Beijing gas pipelines
(three lines with a current combined 35bcm capacity). The main source of gas supply to the
Shaanjing pipelines is the PetroChina-operated Changqing gas fields in the Ordos basin, with
the remaining volumes sourced from the West-East pipelines (in turn supplied by Turkmen
imports and the Tarim basin). In addition to gas volumes via the Shaanjing pipelines, these
provinces are also served by three small local gas fields (Dagang, Jidong, and Huabei all
operated by PetroChina), Datangs Keqi coal-to-gas (CTG) plant (started in Dec-13),
PetroChinas Tangshan LNG regas terminal (started in Nov-13), and CNOOCs Tianjin
floating LNG regas terminal (started in Dec-13). In fig 39 we summarize the gas supply
outlook for the key fields, LNG regas terminals, CTG plants, supplying Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei.

The Shaanjing pipelines and J ingbian
Jingbian in Shaanxi province is a major gas transmission hub in China. Gas from the Tarim
basin (Xinjiang, NW China), the Ordos basin (Shaanxi, NW China), and pipe imports from
Turkmenistan via the West-East pipeline (WEP) all converge in Jingbian before reaching the
designated end-markets. Jingbian is also the starting point for the major Shaanjing or
Shaanxi-Beijing pipelines that supply gas to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei (BTH). Apart from the
BTH market, the Shaanjing pipelines also supply gas to Jiangsu and Shandong, via a spur-
line from Anping in Hebei. While the Ordos basin will likely continue to supply the bulk of
Shaanjings gas volumes, we note that increasingly gas from the Tarim basin and pipe
imports via the West-East pipeline (Shanghai, Guangdong primary end-markets) would also
flow via the Shaanjing pipeline.

Existing sources of gas supply
1) PetroChina Ordos basin (Changqing gas fields) via Shaanjing pipelines
Nearly two-thirds of overall Shaanjing pipeline volumes flow to Beijing, Tianjin and
Hebei; with the remainder flowing to Jiangsu and Shandong. In turn, Ordos basin gas
is responsible currently responsible for nearly two-thirds of gas supply to the
Shaanjing pipeline, however this should decline to ~50% by 2020 as the share of
Tarim and Turkmen imports rises.

Fig 41 A closer look at Shaanjing pipelines

Source: Wood Mackenzie, Macquarie Research, March 2014
Over the past three years, the Changqing gas fields in the Ordos basin (Shaanxi
province, North-West China) have witnessed a 1.6x rise in gas production and have
been responsible for a bulk of overall Chinese gas production growth. Gas production
from Changqing is dominated by the Sulige field Chinas largest onshore gas field
(20bcm in 2013) although there are many other gas discoveries in the basin
awaiting development, e.g. South Sulige (PetroChina/Total).
We estimate that, at present, nearly two-thirds of gas from the Ordos basin flows via
the Shaanjing pipelines (fig 43), with the remaining gas catering to local demand in
Shaanxi and neighbouring Ningxia. Gas from Changqing could also serve Shanghai
and Guangdong via the West-East 1 and 2 pipelines, respectively.
In 2013, gas production from Changqing grew 20% y/y to reach 34bcm. We expect
PetroChina to focus the bulk of its upstream gas capex towards further developing its
flagship Changqing gas fields (770bcm remaining 2P reserves) and forecast 9% pa
production growth over the next two years, to 40.7bcm by 2015e (PetroChina
targets 41.5bcm by 2015).
Overall, Shaanxi province expects local gas production (Changqing and others) to
reach 45bcm in 2015, of which 15bcm is planned for local use and the remaining
30bcm for sale to other provinces, mainly via Shaanjing.

2) PetroChina-operated gas fields in Tianjin, Hebei
Dagang and Huabei oilfields in Tianjin and Hebei provinces respectively have been
producing oil for nearly 40 years, with associated gas production from the field
catering to local demand. The gas produced from the Dagang field caters to demand
in Cangzhou (via the Banqiao-Cangzhou pipelines), while that from Huabei flows to
Beijing via two 70km pipelines. We forecast gas production from these fields to
remain broadly flat at 1.2bcm until 2015, and thereafter decline at c.5% pa. At
present Huabei has 3bcm of gas storage capacity (7.3bcm by 2015e), and a 180km
pipeline links the Shaanjing pipelines to gas storage in Dagang (2.2bcm today rising
to 2.7bcm by 2015e).
Jidong gas field in Tianjin has seen 15% pa production growth over the past three
years to 0.7bcm in 2013. We expect production to decline at c.2% pa from current
levels.
3) Keqi coal-to-gas from Inner Mongolia via the new Keqi-Beijing pipelines
Datang Powers Keqi coal to gas (CTG) project was the first large-scale project
(US$4.2bn cost) to be approved by the NDRC, with commercial operations starting in
Dec-13. The Keqi project is split into three phases with 1.2bcm/yr to be supplied in
phase-1 (planned capacity 4bcm) via a newly constructed 490km pipeline running
from Keqi to Beijing. At the time of commissioning the Keqi plant, Datang also signed
a 30-year gas off-take agreement with PetroChina. Under this agreement,
PetroChina will sell the gas, likely via Beijing Enterprises, to end-customers in
Beijing, and in return Datang will get a fixed tariff of Rmb2.75/cu.m till 2016, and a
market price thereafter.
4) LNG Tangshan (PetroChina), Tianjin FLNG (CNOOC)
Tangshan/Caofeidian LNG (3.5mtpa/4.8bcm, start-up Nov-2013, PetroChina
51%, Beijing Enterprises 49%). The Tangshan LNG regas terminal in Hebei
province started up in Nov-13, with first volumes flowing from Qatar. PetroChina
operates the terminal, but as was the case with the Rudong and Dalian LNG
terminals, we expect the Tangshan terminal to be injected to Kunlun Energy; albeit
this would likely be done at a fair market valuation rather than 1x book, as was the
case in the past. Associated with the regas terminal are a 9bcm/129km trunk line and
a 3.5bcm/28km spur line to feed Hebei and Tianjin. There are plans to increase
terminal capacity to 6.5mtpa (8.8bcm), and eventually to 10mtpa (13.5bcm), but
PetroChina has made no firm investment decision on these expansion projects as
yet.

Tianjin FLNG - CNOOC (2.2mtpa/3.0bcm, start-up Dec-13, CNOOC 100%).
CNOOC commissioned Chinas first floating LNG receiving and storage facility
(FSRU) in Dec-13. CNOOC plans to expand capacity at the terminal to over 6mtpa
(8.1bcm), but this would likely come in 2018+. The terminal would supply gas to an
integrated petchems and industrial park (Lingang Economic Zone) and residential
customers in Tianjin.

Potential incremental sources of gas supply
1) West-East pipelines (Tarim basin, Turkmen imports) feeding Shaanjing pipelines
The West-East pipelines (WEP) already supply c.8bcm of gas via the Shaanjing
pipelines, with 6bcm going to Jiangsu and 2bcm to Shandong. WEP is the backbone of
Chinas gas transmission network, and at present there are two lines operational: WEP-1
(15bcm capacity, started 2004) transports gas from Lunnan in Xinjiang (NW China) to
Shanghai on the east coast 4000km away, also serving Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu, and
Zhejiang en route; WEP-2 (30bcm capacity, started 2009) transports gas from Horgos
(Xinjiang) on Chinas border with Kazakhstan to Guangdong (South China). A third line,
WEP-3 (35bcm from Xinjiang to Fujian), is under construction with first volumes expected
in 2015. While Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are not the main designated end-markets for
WEP, it is important to note that these provinces still receive gas from WEP via the
connection in Jingbian (starting point of the Shaanjing pipelines). The main sources of
gas for WEP are: a) local production in the Tarim and Junggar basins, and
b) pipe imports from Turkmenistan (fig 47).

The Tarim basin is already the largest contributor of domestic gas, and will supply a
major portion of the West-East pipelines throughput in the coming years. PetroChina
is the main operator in Tarim and has three large fields, including, Kela-2, Dabei-1,
and Keshen. We forecast Tarim gas production grow 12% pa over the next two years
to 25.8bcm in 2015, mainly driven by the ramp-up in Dabei-1 and Keshen gas fields.
Gas from the Tarim basin is consumed locally in Xinjiang as well as sent to its end-
markets on Chinas east coast via the WEP.
Gas imports from Turkmenistan. China imported 25bcm of gas from
Turkmenistan in 2013, equal to 15% of overall Chinese gas supply. We expect
imports from Turkmenistan to increase by 5bcm pa to reach 65bcm by 2020 as the
Galkynysh gas field ramps up. As we noted for gas production from Tarim, pipe
imports from Turkmenistan could also flow to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei via the
Shaanjing pipelines.

2) Sinopec Daniudi gas field (Ordos basin)
The Daniudi gas field in Inner Mongolia has been producing gas since 2005 and is
Sinopecs third-largest gas field behind Puguang and Yuanba (both in Sichuan).
Production from Daniudi has grown 19% cagr over the past three years, to 3.4bcm in
2013. We note that production was particularly strong in 2013 following the start of
horizontal drilling by Sinopec in this field. Gas from Daniudi mainly caters to demand
in Shandong via the 1045km Yulin-Jinan pipeline operated by Sinopec. However,
with the National Energy Administration (NEA) starting to implement pipeline open
access, gas from Daniudi, in theory at least, could flow to Beijing from Yulin via the
Shaanjing pipelines. Further, in 2013 Sinopec signed an agreement with Hebei
province to build three new off-take pipelines with a combined 8bcm capacity.
3) LNG Tianjin (Sinopec, 2017+), Dalian (Kunlun)
Tianjin LNG - Sinopec (3.0mtpa/4.1bcm, expected start-up 2017, Sinopec
100%). Sinopec started construction of its 3mtpa Tianjin LNG regas terminal in Sept-
13, with an expected start-up in early 2017. Associated with the terminal, Sinopec
also plans to construct 700km of pipelines to supply the BTH region as well as
Shandong. There are preliminary plans to expand capacity of this terminal to 10mtpa.

Dalian LNG (3.0mtpa/4.1bcm, start-up Nov-11, Kunlun 75%, Dalian Port/Others
25%). The Dalian LNG regas terminal started up in Nov-11, with a majority of the
LNG supplied coming from Qatar. At present all the re-gassified LNG flows via a
389km pipeline to residential and industrial customers in Liaoning province (Anshan,
Benxi, Fushun, Liaoyang, Shenyang). While there are no flows from the Dalian
terminal to Beijing at the moment, conceivably some of the LNG arriving at Dalian
could be used to cater to swing demand in the region. There are preliminary plans to
double capacity to 6mtpa, but this is still subject to approvals.
4) Russia (2018+)?
China could/may formalize its MoU with Gazprom (re-signed Mar-13) for 38bcm
of gas supply from Russias East Siberia gas fields, with first gas 2018+. While
Russia-China gas discussions have been ongoing since 2006, with Gazprom
increasingly facing competition from Qatari LNG to supply a stagnant European gas
market, its only now that things appear to be moving ahead with the resigning of the
MoU in Mar-13, agreement on technical specs in Sept-13, and discussion on pricing
are still underway.
5) Coal bed methane (CBM)?
China has been trying to commercialize CBM since the late-1990s, yet in 2012 CBM
production was an insignificant 1.7bcm or 1.5% of overall domestic supply due to
multiple unresolved challenges, including heavy faulting, low permeability, brittle coal
seams, regulatory issues, and an unreliable state partner in CUCBM). CBM
production in China is concentrated around Shanxi and Henan, and the blocks are
operated by the small independents (Green Dragon Gas, Asian American Gas, Sino
Gas & Energy, etc) as well as PetroChina.
Despite policy support (CBM subsidy increased to Rmb0.4/cu.m, no VAT on
equipment imports, four ODPs awarded over the past two years), and CNOOC taking
a 70% stake in CUCBM, we forecast actual gas production to fall short of
government and PetroChina targets. We forecast 3bcm/8bcm in 2015/20e versus the
government target of 16.0bcm production capacity by 2015 and PetroChinas target
of 5bcm.
At present the CBM produced is mainly used locally in Shanxi and Henan provinces.
However, if CBM production does ramp up per government expectations, then the
gas could be tied into the Shaanjing pipeline system, via Yulin or Jingbian, and sold
to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
6) Sinopec Xinjiang coal-to-gas (2017+)?
Sinopec has received approvals for its 30bcm Zhudong coal-to-gas plant in Xinjiang
(US$30bn planned capex), and associated Xinjiang to Zhejiang 30bcm pipeline and
4.5bcm gas storage facilities. This new pipeline would essentially complement
Sinopecs existing Sichuan-East pipelines. While at present there are no plans to
direct gas volumes from this project to the BTH market, conceivably a spur line could
be commissioned if demand in these provinces ramps up above the provincial
targets.
7) Sinopec shale gas?
Following the recent success in the Fuling block (Chongqing), in Dec-13, Sinopec
increased its shale gas production target to 3.3bcm in 2015, from 1.7bcm. However,
while the governments 6.5bcm shale gas production target for 2015 may be
achievable, we think its still too early to get excited about the governments 60-
100bcm target for 2020 (MQe 10-15bcm). Separately, we note that a majority of
Sinopecs gas acreage in Chongqing would be used locally as well as sold via
Sinopecs Sichuan-East pipeline system that is at present not connected to the
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market. For full details on our outlook for Chinese shale gas,

The choices to achieve government targets
Putting our supply-demand work together, we conclude that Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will
face a supply shortage of 13-31bcm or 23-37% of the government demand target
between 2017-20e.
The key bottleneck for these provinces is insufficient midstream infrastructure
(pipelines, LNG regas terminals, gas storage), rather than a lack of gas supply.
If Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei really want to improve air quality, via increased gas usage,
then in our view Shaanjing line 5 (on top of line 4 currently under construction) and LNG
regas expansion projects should break ground shortly.
Our forecast gas shortage dynamic structurally underpins gas volume growth for the
Shaanjing pipelines, and consequently for Kunlun Energy (Macquarie Marquee Buy
Idea) and Beijing Enterprises (not rated). In addition, we highlight that China Suntien
would directly benefit from its leveraged downstream gas exposure in Hebei.
Putting our demand and supply work for Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei in the previous sections
together, we forecast gas demand to grow 21% cagr to 70bcm by 2020 (provincial target
84bcm), while gas supply from existing sources rises 17% cagr to 53bcm, with the key
bottleneck being midstream infrastructure (pipelines, LNG regas terminals), rather than a lack
of gas supply. We conclude that unless new midstream projects are commissioned (e.g.
Shaanjing line 5, 15bcm) these provinces will face a supply shortage of 13-31bcm or 23-37%
of the government demand target between 2017-20e (fig 50).

Beijing, Tianjin and Hebeis gas choices
In order for Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to realize gas demand targets, and consequently
PM2.5 and coal demand destruction targets, we think the following has to happen:
1. Shaanjing pipeline line-5 is commissioned (+15bcm)
At present the Shaanjing pipeline has 35bcm capacity running at ~70% utilization
rates. Construction on Line-4 for Shaanjing is under way and would add 15bcm
capacity by 2H15E. In our base case we model overall volumes flowing via
Shaanjing to ramp up from 25bcm in 2013 (of which ~70% to Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei)
to 49bcm in 2020e, implying 97% utilization rates in 2020e. While the prospects of
Shaanjing line-5 (another 15bcm) have always been on the cards, as of now no firm
investment decision has been taken.

In our view, if Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei want to meet their PM2.5 and gas demand
targets then we think Shaanjing line-5 has to happen. In Fig 51, we show the
potential ramp-up in Shaanjing pipeline capacity and the available gas supply
options. As we noted in the supply section on page 25, after factoring in the local
demand/supply targets for the other major provinces that source gas from WEP, we
see an average 20bcm of gas volumes that could be diverted from WEP to the
Shaanjing pipelines between 2015-20e. Consequently assuming a majority of this
20bcm available gas supply from WEP gets allocated to Shaanjing, we think line-5 if
commissioned in 2018 could ramp up to 90%+ utilization rates by 2020, and Beijing-
Tianjin-Hebeis 31bcm supply shortfall in our base case would reduce to
15bcm.

Fig 52 then, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebeis implied gas
shortfall could be halved versus the base case

Will the gas volume slowdown experienced by Shaanjing in 2013 likely persist?
Gas volumes in Shaanjing grew by ~5% y/y in 2013, against consensus expectations
of 15-20% y/y volume growth at the start of the year. In our view this was mainly due
to the limited incentive for PetroChina to raise gas supply ahead of the much-
anticipated gas price hike announcement. In our view the impact of slower gas
volume growth will likely not persist, given that:
o A) Notwithstanding the new sources of supply to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei (see
pa 21-26), the Shaanjing pipelines will remain the major source of gas
supply to the region. So if these provinces are indeed going to do something
about their pollution problems, then gas volumes via Shaanjing simply have to
ramp up.
o B) There is a strong top-down directive from Chinas NDRC and NEA (National
Energy Administration) to ensure the SOE oil companies adhere to their
volume commitments. In Jan-14, the NEA published a circular calling for more
active management and increased supervision over local gas supply. In Nov-13,
the NDRC directed the SOEs to run all their gas fields at maximum capacity and
also accelerate new gas field development.
o C) Further, in February the NEA said that it would monitor fair/open access to
the oil and gas pipeline network and storage facilities in order to ensure
stable supply to the market. To this end the NEA has also set up six regional
supervisory bureaus in North China. In our view open access (if implemented
properly) would be a major positive since it would provide further gas supply
visibility. For instance, open access would imply that Sinopec, CNOOC, and the
other smaller independent producers (eg. CBM in Shanxi, Henan) would be able
to monetize their gas via the Shaanjing pipelines, assuming there is spare
capacity.

Stock Implications: Our forecast gas shortage structurally underpins gas volume
growth for the Shaanjing pipelines at least until the end of this decade and
consequently for Kunlun Energy (Macquarie Marquee Buy Idea). We raise our
price target to HK$22.0/sh, as we increase our 2015e EPS forecasts by 4% and
target 2015 PE to 15.8x (from 15x prior). We note that our 2015e EPS forecasts for
Kunlun are 20% above consensus and the highest on the street, and incremental
potential pipeline volumes would represent further earnings upside for Kunlun (gas
pipelines ~50% of group EPS). In the downstream, we highlight that China Suntien
would directly benefit from its leveraged exposure to the Hebei gas market; also
China Resources Gas would benefit from higher volumes to Tianjin.
2. LNG regas terminal expansion projects all go ahead (9bcm)
At present, the two existing LNG regas terminals (Tangshan and Tianjin FLNG)
serving the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market have a combined capacity of 7.7bcm
(5.7mtpa), and Sinopecs Tianjin LNG terminal that is currently under construction
would add another 4bcm in 2017. Our base case gas supply shortfall of 31bcm in
2020 assumes all these regas terminals ramp up to full capacity. At present,
PetroChina has tentative plans (no FID or government go-ahead as yet) to increase
the capacity at Tangshan to 8.8bcm (6.5mtpa), and CNOOC plans to increase
capacity at Tianjin FLNG to 8.1bcm (6mtpa). If all these capacity additions actually
go ahead and ramp up to full capacity by 2020, they would add 9bcm of gas supply
to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Consequently, if we put these LNG regas terminal
expansions together with Shaanjing line-5, then our forecast 31bcm shortfall in the
base case could be largely bridged.
Separately, Macquaries global LNG analyst Adrian Wood notes that a complete
reliance on LNG imports to bridge 31bcm shortfall appears unlikely for a number of
reasons. Significant expansion of regas capacity (beyond existing facilities and
current expansion proposals) would be required. Furthermore, regas capacity is
unlikely to run a 100% utilisation, as some capacity is likely to be preserved for swing
loads during winter. While pricing remains the major hurdle regarding the China-
Russia pipeline deal, with North Asian spot LNG pricing reaching >U$19/mmbtu over
last winter, a growing reliance on LNG could see these negotiations accelerated.
Finally, authorities are unlikely to want to lock in 20-year plus high cost LNG off-take
agreements for what appears to be a temporary shortfall and the global LNG spot
market is unlikely to have sufficient depth to absorb such a large requirement (given
we estimate this would represent ~25% of total spot volumes by 2020).
Stock implications: In our view, as was the case with the Rudong and Dalian LNG
terminals, we expect the Tangshan terminal to be injected to Kunlun Energy at some
stage. Consequently we see potential upside to our regas volume assumptions for
Kunlun. Also the dynamic of rising LNG needs could justify the signing of further
LNG contracts by PetroChina (formalize 2.7bcm Qatargas-4 MoU, Yamal LNG,
Vladivostok LNG? etc), while CNOOC (terminals operated by the parent) still has
adequate LNG options to cater to its existing confirmed projects.

3. Russia standalone could balance the market, but negotiations on pricing still the
major hurdle.
A formalization of the Chinas agreement with Russia on its own would completely
solve the implied gas shortage for these provinces. If China formalizes its MoU with
Gazprom (re-signed Mar-13) for 38bcm of gas supply from Russias East Siberia gas
fields, we could expect first gas 2018+. While newsflow over the past year would
suggest that Russia-China discussions are finally moving ahead (after nearly a
decade), with the resigning of the MoU in Mar-13, agreement on technical specs in
Sept-13, we note that pricing still remains the major hurdle to finalizing any deal.
Stock Implications: In our base case we assume zero pipe imports from Russia till
the end of this decade. If this deal were to be finalized, then in our view it would likely
be PetroChina which spends the bulk of the pipeline capex, despite its new-found
enthusiasm for mixed ownership reform and social investors. Consequently a
Russian gas deal would likely serve as another headwind to PetroChinas
precariously poised stretched free cash flow, balance sheet and ROCE
situation for several years. Even if and when such gas started flowing, it could still
be loss-making in 2018 unless city gate gas prices rise ~60% from current levels.
4. Better utilization of existing and new storage facilities to cater to winter demand
As we noted on pages 16-18, we expect the amount of gas supplied to these
provinces via storage to increase to 7bcm by 2015e, or 20% of annual demand, as
the utilization of newly commissioned storage facilities ramps-up. For perspective,
storage typically accounts for 10-20% of demand in most developed gas markets. In
addition we note that the Tangshan and Tianjin LNG regas terminals that started in
Nov-13, should also help cater to swing demand in these provinces. Further, we think
the recent announcement by the NEA (Chinas energy watchdog) to monitor
fair/open access to the oil and gas pipeline network and storage facilities is a major
positive, since it should provide further gas supply visibility.
Stock Implications: We expect a ramp-up in utilization rates at the newly
commissioned gas storage facilities and LNG regas terminals should increasingly
help alleviate concerns around winter gas shortages for companies operating in
these provinces, such as Great Wall Motors.

Macquarie Capital Securities Limited
Kunlun Energy
Structural gas growth at a discount
Event
In tandem with Chinas Gas Choices Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Burgeoning
demand faces midstream bottlenecks published today, we are raising our
Kunlun price target by 10% to HK$22/sh, on higher gas transmission volume
assumptions and a higher implied target PE. Kunlun is a Marquee Buy Idea
with 63% potential total shareholder return on a one-year horizon.
Impact
Following our detailed work on gas supply-demand outlook for Beijing, Tianjin,
Hebei, we now model 31.0/36.3bcm gas volumes (vs. 30/35bcm prior) for
Kunluns Shaanjing pipelines in 2014/15e, implying 24%/17% y/y gas
transmission volume growth (above consensus of ~10-15% y/y growth).
Further we foresee an implied gas shortage of c.30bcm or one-third the
provincial gas demand targets in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei by 2020e, with
lack of midstream infrastructure being the key bottleneck.
In our view, this implied gas shortage dynamic is a major structural tailwind for
the Kunlun investment case since it: 1) underpins gas volume growth for
the Shaanjing pipelines at least until the end of this decade, and warrants
a PE de-risking; 2) in addition, if Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei wants to improve its air
quality then, in our view, Kunluns 15bcm Shaanjing line-5 (on top of the
15bcm line-4 under construction), should be commissioned soon; 3) in an
environment where these provinces are short midstream infrastructure, in our
view, the risks related to a potential negative change to the existing tariff
mechanism further recedes. See Kunlun Energy - Pacifying the bears
Earnings and target price revision
We raise our 2014/15e EPS forecasts by 4% on higher gas transmission
volume assumptions. Our EPS forecasts, already the highest on the street,
now stand 15%/20% above consensus. Our new HK$22 PT (previously
HK$20) implies 15.8x 2015e PE (from 15x prior), still a 10% disc to the
HK/China gas sector.
Price catalyst
12-month price target: HK$22.00 based on a PER methodology.
Catalyst: FY13 results 20-March; ramp-up in gas transmission volumes (open
access to pipelines would be a +ve); ramp-up in LNG sales to truck/bus fleets.
Action and recommendation
We continue to think the risk-reward for Kunlun is compelling with potential
60-85% base-bull fair value upside (largely on a return to normal scenario in
terms of market sentiment towards Kunlun) versus 20% downside in a low
probability bear scenario. Our HK$22 price target implies Kunlun closes the
12M fwd PE gap vs. the HK/China gas sector from the current 40% to 10%.

Kunlun Raising the bar, again
Fig 1 Kunlun still offers a compelling risk-reward valuation skew

Base: HK$22.0/sh @ 15.8x base HK$1.40/sh 2015e EPS, 60% TSR
upside
Gas transmission: 24%/17% y/y gas transmission vol growth in
2014/15e, and flat EBITDA margins
Natural gas sales (incl LNG): 38%/20% y/y gas sales volume
growth, and a rebound in EBITDA margins to Rmb0.42/cu.m in
2014/15 (from Rmb0.34/cu.m)
E&P: $106/109/bbl realized oil prices in 2014/15e
LNG regas: 95% utilization rates, backed by take-or-pay contracts
Target 15.8x 2015 PE, 10% disc to HK/China gas sector, backed by
DCF.
Bull: HK$26.8/sh @ 18x bull target PE, 95% upside
Assuming no valuation gap to the HK/China gas sector.
Bear: HK$10.9/sh @ 7.8x bear target PE, 20% TSR downside
Pipelines sold at acquisition cost; further PE suppression related to
senior exec investigations.
Risks to our base case thesis
Pipeline tariff cuts; inability to pass on rising upstream gas costs;
higher than forecast capex would imply higher DD&A and a delay in
achieving +ve FCFs.

In tandem with Chinas Gas Choices Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Burgeoning demand faces midstream
bottlenecks published today, we are raising our Kunlun price target by 10% to HK$22/sh, on higher
gas transmission volume assumptions and a higher implied target PE. Kunlun is a Marquee Buy Idea
with 60% potential total shareholder return on a one-year horizon. In our recent note Kunlun
Energy - EPS upgrade cycle beckons, we go through in detail the assumptions underpinning our
base case earnings forecasts and valuation. The key changes since are:
1) Raising 2014-15 EPS forecasts by avg 4% on higher gas transmission volume
assumptions.
We now assume 31.0/36.3bcm volumes (vs. 30/35bcm prior) for Kunluns Shaanjing pipelines
in 2014/15e, implying 24%/17% y/y volume growth respectively (above consensus estimates
of ~10-15% y/y growth). A majority of this forecast transmission volume growth for Shaanjing
comes from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, where we expect volumes to grow 30% cagr 2013-15e to
27.7bcm in 2015e, while volumes to Jiangsu and Shandong remain essentially flat at 8.6bcm.
Our EPS forecasts now stand 15%/20% above Bloomberg consensus.

2) Increasing price target to HK$22/sh (from HK$20), based on implied 15.8x 2015E target PE
Following our bottom up work on the supply-demand outlook in Chinas Gas Choices, we are
now more confident on the outlook for Kunluns Shaanjing pipeline. Our forecast 30bcm gas
shortage in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei (more than one-third the provincial gas demand targets by
2020e) is a major structural tailwind for the Kunlun investment case since in our view it:
1) Underpins gas volume growth for the Shaanjing pipelines at least until the end of this
decade, and warrants a PE de-risking;
2) Further, if Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei want to improve air quality then we believe the 15bcm
Shaanjing line-5 (on top of the 15bcm line-4 under construction) should break ground
shortly;
3) In an environment where the Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei area is short midstream
infrastructure, the risks related to a retroactive negative change to the existing tariff
mechanism further recedes. Also see Kunlun Energy - Pacifying the bears
Our HK$22 PT implies 15.8x 2015e PE (from 15x prior), still a 10% disc to the HK/China gas
sector. Our price target is backed up by DCF of HK$22.6/sh.
Our HK$22 price target implies Kunlun closes the 12M fwd PE gap vs. the HK/China gas
sector from the current 40% to 10%.

China Suntien
Valuation gap should close from
stronger gas/wind demand in Hebei
Event
In tandem with Chinas Gas Choices Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Burgeoning
demand faces midstream bottlenecks published today, we are raising our
Suntien price target by 36% to HK$4.75 (the highest target price on the
Street), on higher gas distribution volume assumptions in the long term in
Hebei, which provides ~30% upside from current share price.
Impact
Reiterate the best play in coal substitution in Hebei. Hebei is the largest
consumer of coal in China, and unsurprisingly its air-quality problems are
worse than those of Beijing and Tianjin. In 2013, Hebei announced a multi-
pronged strategy to cut PM2.5 emissions by at least 25% and annual coal
consumption by 40mt by 2017. Based on our bottom-up work, we model
15.0/26.1bcm in 2017/20e, implying 26% CAGR between 2013-20e. We
estimate the switch from coal to gas alone would cut Hebeis annual coal
consumption by 20mt by 2017. With 27% gas sales market share in Hebei, we
believe Suntien would be the key beneficiary, and that this could deliver 16%
earnings CAGR in 2012-17. China Suntien - not only a wind company.
Cost pass-through not an issue. In 2013, most investors discussions were
focused on how much of the gas price hike could be passed on. It turned out
that Suntien ultimately maintained the gross profit per cu.m. In anticipation of
the further gas price hike in 2014 expected by consensus, we believe that
concerns over cost pass-through should be minimal and will be less likely to
prevent the stock from re-rating, given the stronger visibility of gas demand
growth in Hebei.
Wind capacity expansion to take off from 2014. As another contributor to
coal substitution in Hebei, we expect Suntien to install 400MW or more wind
power capacity pa in 2014/15, accounting for two-thirds of the EBIT. After the
issuance of new shares (overhang removed) has been completed, we expect
Suntien to reduce its net gearing to 100% while increasing the wind capacity
by ~30% pa. Trading at 12x 2015PE, the stock still look cheap compared with
gas distributors.
Earnings and target price revision
We raise our 2014/15 EPS estimates by 1%-3% on higher gas sales volume
with 14.7% dilution from the placement factored in, 3%-5% higher than
consensus. We are lowering 2013EPS by 6% to factor in possible provisions
for CDM receivables.
Price catalyst
12-month price target: HK$4.75 based on a DCF methodology.
Catalyst: updated management guidance during 2013 result briefing.
Action and recommendation
Our HK$4.75 price target implies 16.1x 2015e PE that closes the 12M fwd PE
gap vs. the HK/China gas sector from the current 30% to 10% and increase
the premium to HK/China wind sector from current 0% to 30%.

Suntien Closing the valuation gap from strong gas/wind demand in Hebei
Fig 1 Suntiens risk-reward valuation shows limited downside

Base: HK$4.75/sh, 30% TSR upside, gas market share in Hebei falls
to 15% in 2020 from 27% in 2012
Natural gas sales: 16%/17% y/y gas sales volume growth in
2014/15e, average ASP increase by 3% pa, and gross margins
rebound to Rmb0.48-0.49/cu.m in 2014/15 (from Rmb0.47/cu.m),
gas sales vol CAGR 15% in 2014-2020.
Wind power sales: 21%/26% y/y wind power revenue growth, new
capacity addition 400MW pa in 2014/15 (up from 150MW-250MW
pa) , and 85%/86% EBITDA margins in 2014/15
TP from DCF implies 16.1x 2015 PE, 10% disc to HK/China gas
sector (from 30% disc), 17% prem to valuation derived from sum-of-
the-parts.
Bull: HK$6.15/sh, 70% upside, gas market share falls to 20% in 2020
Implies 20.9x 2015PE, 20% gas sales vol CAGR in 2014-2020.
Bear: HK$3.00/sh, 20% TSR downside, gas gross margin falls to
Rmb0.4/cu.m by 2020
Implies 10.6x 2014PE, assuming 70% cost hike pass-through.
Risks to our base case thesis
Inability to pass on rising upstream gas costs; lower than forecast
receivable turnover imply a delay in achieving +ve FCFs.

In tandem with Chinas Gas Choices Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Burgeoning demand faces midstream
bottlenecks published today, we are raising our Suntien price target by 36% to HK$4.75, on higher
gas distribution volume assumptions in the long term in Hebei. In our recent note China
Suntien - growth outlook intact in 2014, we highlight the key assumptions underpinning our base
case earnings forecasts and valuation. The key changes since are:
1) Raising 2014-15 EPS forecasts by 1-3% on higher gas sales volume assumptions.
We now assume 16%/17% gas sales volumes growth to 1.6/1.9bcm (vs. 14%/15% prior) in
2014/15e, slightly above consensus estimates of ~15-16% y/y growth), driven by a detailed
plan by Hebei government on increasing the gas consumption across major cities.
Compared with our projected 26% CAGR of gas demand growth in Hebei, our estimates of
Suntiens gas sales growth are lower mainly because we do not think the gas supply
constraints from PetroChina (Kunlun) have been removed. PetroChina could supply more gas
to its allies such as ENN in Hebei, while Suntien would have to diversify its gas supply
sources.
Our EPS forecasts stand 3%/5% above Bloomberg consensus.

2) Increasing price target to HK$4.75/sh (from HK$3.5), derived from DCF and based on higher
gas sales volume assumptions in the long term
Hebei is the largest consumer of coal in China, and unsurprisingly its air quality problems are
worse than that in Beijing and Tianjin. In 2013, Hebei announced a multi-pronged strategy to
cut PM2.5 emissions by at least 25% and annual coal consumption by 40mt by 2017,
including: decommissioning cement and steel factories (see Environmental restrictions curb
North China Output, 6-Jan); retrofitting all coal-fired boilers in Shijiazhuang, Tangshan etc;
and bringing on stream new gas and wind power plants.
We believe Suntien is best positioned to benefit the strong gas/wind demand from Hebei for
the coal substitution, with a 2030% market share.
We raise the gas sales volume growth to 1316% in 201627 from previous 10% to
reflect the strong demand growth in Hebei. We think the assumptions are prudent, as
Suntiens implied market drops from the current 27% to 15% in 2020, which is less likely to
happen, in our view.
Our DCF-derived HK$4.75 PT implies 16.1x 2015e PE (from 12x prior), which is still a 10%
discount to the HK/China gas sector but a 17% premium to the valuation derived from sum-of-
the-parts. We believe our valuation can be justified by 21% earnings growth in 2015 and a
16% earnings CAGR in 2012-17.
Our HK$4.75 price target implies Suntien closes the 12M fwd PE gap vs. the HK/China gas
sector from the current 30% to 10% and increases the premium to the HK/China wind sector
from the current 0% to 30%.
Our price target implies 1.7x 2015E PB. We estimate that by 2020, Suntiens ROE should be
15%, driven by increasing returns from the wind power segment, assuming a growth rate of
3% and a cost of capital of 10.7%. Calculated through the PB-ROE formula: PB=(ROE-
g)/(COE-g), we derive a PB of 1.6x, justifying our valuation as fair.

We think it could be tricky to assign BETA to the DCF valuation because Suntiens share prices
seem highly volatile and uncorrelated to the HSI. We believe the volatility in the past five years was
caused mainly by poor wind utilization hours, unexpected announcement of placement and
uncertainty of cost pass-through. We expect in the long term, Suntiens share price could become
more stable like other utility companies when the installation base is significant with proven gas cost
pass-through. Therefore, we assign 0.95 as its BETA, in line with the average of utility companies.

Fig 11 A fair risk/reward for Suntien: 30-70% potential base-bull fair value upside against 20% downside in a low
probability bear scenario

Source: Macquarie Research, March 2014
We find Suntiens target price is sensitive to gas cost pass-through, gas volume growth and wind
receivable turnover. We test in different scenarios of the change in fair value and find an attractive
risk-reward skew.
(1) Bear scenario: we assume in the future only 70% of the gas price hike could be passed
through (least likely to occur) and gross margin falls to Rmb0.4/cu.m although in 2013
Suntien passed 100% cost through to the end customers. We also assume the gas sales
volume growth by ~12% pa by 2020. In this case, the fair value could be HK$3/sh, implying
only 20% downside from current price.
(2) Bull scenario: we assume gas sales growth to be 17% pa by 2020, and Suntien to maintain
20% market share instead of 15%. We also assume the receivable turnover improves by
50% given the support from government. We can calculate a fair value of HK$6.15/sh,
implying nearly 70% upside from current price.

PetroChina
Gas, PetroChina and Social Duty
Event
In our report Chinas Gas Choices Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Burgeoning
demand faces midstream bottlenecks we highlight that PetroChina is likely to
continue to be responsible for the majority of the new upstream gas required
to satisfy Chinas rapidly growing gas demand. We believe this role has
destroyed shareholder value thus far, and we continue to see such work as
more social duty than value creation.
Impact
+ve: Local gas prices are rising this is a positive for the cash generation
of domestic gas production, which PetroChina is growing at c.10% p.a. from
key conventional and tight gas fields in Tarim, Ordos and Sichuan.
-ve: High cost imports are also rising domestic production growth is
nowhere near enough to meet demand so high cost, oil-linked gas imports
from Turkmenistan, Myanmar and LNG are also rising fast, and PetroChina
shareholders are burdened with effectively subsidizing the bulk of such
volumes today, and tomorrow.
-ve: Capex remains very high the gas imports need huge transcontinental
trunklines. US$60bn of related capex (with zero visibility on contract
tendering) has been deployed by PetroChina management since 2008. It
supports many CNPC jobs but also supports loss making imports and has
hence significantly reduced shareholder ROE. With West-East 3 under
construction and talk of West-East 4 and a Russia pipe we see no end in sight
to this ROE headwind.
-ve: Material downside risks for PetroChina shareholders include Russia
gas capex, more LNG and state enforced negative IRR shale gas
investments.
Neutral: Mixed ownership does little to help any of the above, although it
could lessen the cash capex burden.
Earnings and target price revision
No change.
Price catalyst
12-month price target: HK$8.00 based on a PER methodology.
Catalyst: full year 2013 results March 20th.
Action and recommendation
PetroChinas ROE has halved over the last eight years and we believe this is,
in a large part, due to low return gas-related capex. Not surprisingly the
companys market PE multiple has also fallen and unless its free cash flow
generation and ROCE can be improved we see little fundamental justification
for a re-rating back to higher levels. We target a mid-cycle fwd PE of 8.1x
2015e PE and maintain our Neutral rating.

China coal sector
Mild demand growth in 2014-15F
Event
In Chinas Gas Choices Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Burgeoning demand faces
midstream bottlenecks we estimate annual coal consumption in Beijing,
Tianjin, Hebei to decline by 70mt by 2020F, or 20% of demand in these
provinces (coal consumption in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei was c.21.5mnt,
50mnt, and 250mnt respectively in 2013). However, given the fact that
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region only accounted for 8% of Chinas total coal
consumption in 2013, the impact on coal demand is not large from a national
perspective, and is in line with our forecast that Chinas coal demand growth
will slow to 2-3% in the next few years.
Impact
Oversupply in 2014/15F and mid-term price fluctuation at cost curve:
despite slower demand growth, oversupply may remain in the mid-term due to
high capacity growth in Shanxi. According to Shanxi Coal Mine Safety
Supervision, there are 524 mines under construction in Shanxi. Including
these, Shanxi has a capacity of 1.2bnt (vs. 910mnt output in 2012). Eighty of
the 524 mines may start to contribute by 2013 y/e (70-80mnt capacity) with
the majority being coking coal. Under the current weak prices/strict safety
rules, there may be delays in construction; yet these extra capacities should
put a ceiling on coal prices, especially coking coal prices. Mid-term price is
likely to fluctuate around the cost curve at Rmb550-600/t.
Cost curve to drop further in mid-term: CCTD and Fenwei believe there is
room for cost cuts, especially admin costs. Production costs may still be cut
by Rmb30-50/t in 2014-15F. Railway bottlenecks are likely to be solved by
end-2015 when major new railways are due to be completed. Resources tax:
limited impact to thermal coal but impact may be big for coking coal: likely to
be around 3-5% of mine-mouth price. However, the government would
probably clear up other fees and levies by the end of this year so the
incremental burden might be limited to ~Rmb5/t for thermal coal per CCTD
and China Coal. The impact to coking coal may be much bigger.
Outlook
Cautious on thermal coal and bearish on coking coal: Taking into account
the oversupply in 2014-15E with large capacity growth in Shanxi restructured
mines, Indonesia output growth, and only 2-3% pa demand growth (with
downside risks due to the demand destruction in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei), we
maintain our cautious view on thermal coal sector and are bearish on
coking coal. We see thermal coal fluctuating at the cost curve at Rmb580/t in
2014 (relatively stable y-y) and Rmb550/t in 2015. We keep our Neutral rating
for Shenhua and China Coal; and maintain Yanzhou Coal, Fushan and
Hidili as Underperform given our bearish view on HCC, with large earnings
declines forecast in 2014-15 (6-53%).

Great Wall Motor Company
Volumes constrained by gas shortage
Event
In December 2013 Great Wall Motor (GWM) reported a 7% decline in sales
volume as sedan volumes plunged 42% YoY. Volumes of the C30 sedan
were especially weak, declining 51% YoY to their lowest level since February
2011. The explanation from the company was that sales were impacted by the
shortage of natural gas (NG) caused by the pressure to switch from coal-fired
electric power to NG in the wake of record pollution levels in the Beijing-
Tianjin-Hebei area. Sedan volumes, especially the C30, remained low in
January and February, declining 35% and 21%, respectively.
Impact
Not a function of weak demand: Macquaries proprietary dealer survey
shows that discounts on sedans have fallen sharply. In the case of the C30
the discount peaked at 4.3% in July 2013 and fell to 0.8% in January 2014.
The discount on the C50 fell from 5.6% to 0.5% over the same period. This
highlights how the shortage of volumes has resulted in tighter pricing. Other
than the VW Golf, these are the lowest discounts for any sedan in the market
in China other than recent launches of new models.
Favour high margin products: Great Wall explained that it was favouring
production of its SUVs, which typically carry a gross margin of 30% or higher,
over sedans, which have a GPM of just 25% or so. Average monthly
shipments of the C30 sunk to 7,694 over Dec 2013-Feb 2014 vs 13,814 over
the same period a year ago and 10,036 over Sept-Nov 2013. We believe a
normal level is about 10k/month. The shortfall of C50s is more modest,
suggesting the gas problem is more an issue in Baoding than Tianjin.
NG critical to production: NG is used mainly for drying the vehicle body in
the paint shop as well as general heating in the factories and living areas.
GWM gets its gas from a local municipal NG distributor. Given GWMs
importance to the local economy and as a tax payer, we believe it will work
with the local supplier to ensure that storage is in place to ensure it does not
face a similar disruption in 2015. The procurement of truck-transported LNG
could be a backup plan though the cost is higher. Further as we note in
Chinas Gas Choices published today, we expect a ramp-up in utilization rates
at the newly commissioned gas storage facilities and LNG regas terminals
should increasingly help alleviate concerns around winter gas shortages.
Earnings and target price revision
No change.
Price catalyst
12-month price target: HK$53.00 based on a PER methodology.
Catalyst: 21 March 2013 results; 24 March analyst meeting.
Action and recommendation
GWM is our top pick in the China auto sector. Although the main growth driver
remains its expanding line-up of SUVs, sedans are an important product for
first-time buyers. We expect overall in 2014 the company can beat its official
sales target of 890k (+18% YoY), achieving sales of 930k (+23% YoY). The
recent share price weakness offers a great entry point.
