Geographical Space Distribution of China’s Oil and Gas Industry: Characteristics and Drivers HU Jian and JIAO Bing* Research Center of Resources Environment and Regional Economics, Xi’an University of Finance and Economics, Xi’an 710100, China Abstract: Here, the geographical space distribution of the oil and gas industry in China is comprehensively investigated using the overall Moran’s I index and local Moran’s I index. We found that China’s oil and gas industry development from 2000 to 2010 has a differentiated geographical space distribution upstream (extractive industry) but not downstream (refining industry). To analyze upstream and downstream states a spatial econometrics model (SEM) was used to identify influential factors resulting from the spatial concentration of the oil and gas industry. An external effect is the key factor promoting the spatial concentration of the upstream industry in China; governmental economic policy is another important factor. Key words: oil and gas industry; resource endowment; external effect; geographical space distribution 1 Introduction During the term of the 11th five-year plan, the rapid economic development of oil and gas resource areas in western and northeastern China occurred at a level higher than the national average. The top six provinces with national GDP growth speed in 2011 were Inner Mongolia (15.2%), Sichuan (15%), Hubei (14.8%), Shaanxi (14.6%), Anhui (14.5%) and Liaoning (14.3%), among which, oil and gas resources in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Liaoning account for the
