There were still five suburban regions in Beijing without access to piped gas, the newspaper report said.
Beijing, which consumed about 5.6 bcm of the fuel last year, is China's third-largest gas consumer after Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces.
PetroChina produces more than 80 percent of China's natural gas and runs most of the country's gas pipeline networks. The top Chinese oil and gas company supplies gas to Beijing mostly via its two Shaanxi-to-Beijing gas pipelines.
