China's introduction of the '2+26' cities policy earlier this year calls for restricted use of coal for both residential heating and industrial purposes. This has significant ramifications for the Chinese winter season where demand is traditionally high. As an alternative to coal, gas demand could rise by 23 bcm this year compared to previous winters.

This region will make up half or 10 bcm of the incremental winter gas demand in 2017.

But cuts at Weiqiao, the world's largest smelter, shows China's determination to deliver supply-side reforms.
