Construction of China-Russia east-route natural gas pipeline complete, to shore up energy supply in East China
Construction has been completed on the China-Russia east-route natural gas pipeline, a vital energy corridor for China, and the facility is in its final commissioning phase, the National Oil and Gas Pipeline Network Group (PipeChina), the builder of the project, said on Monday as reported by CCTV.
Once fully operational, the pipeline will supply 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year to Northeast China, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the Yangtze River Delta (ER: the Shanghai region). This will be sufficient to meet the annual needs of 130 million urban households, easing natural gas supply constraints in these regions, according to the CCTV report.
The pipeline spans 5,111 kilometers, including 3,371 kilometers of newly built sections. It starts in Heihe, Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, and extends to Shanghai.
As an essential energy route for eastern China, the gas pipeline is set to play a vital role in securing regional natural gas supply, supporting the development of a clean, low-carbon and efficient energy system, and promoting the region’s high-quality economic and social development, analysts said.
This new achievement reflected the deepened energy connectivity and economic cooperation between China and Russia …
The project is a critical component of China’s four strategic oil and gas corridors, divided into the northern, middle and southern sections. The recently completed part connects Nantong to Luzhi in East China’s Jiangsu Province, representing the final stage of construction of the pipeline, according to CCTV.
The section linking Heihe and Taixing in East China’s Jiangsu Province in the southern part of the project has gradually been commissioned, with the entire southern part poised to be fully operational by the end of this year, per the CCTV report. …

Russia Examining New China Gas Pipeline Route Via Kazakhstan
Russia to launch new gas pipeline to China – deputy PM
The conduit will boost supplies by 45 billion cubic meters per year, according to Aleksandr Novak
RT
Russia has begun developing a new gas pipeline to China via Kazakhstan that will have a planned annual capacity of 45 billion cubic meters (bcm), Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak told the broadcaster Russia 24 on Wednesday.
China will receive 35 bcm of gas per year via the conduit, while the remainder will go to Kazakhstan.
.
The official highlighted the project’s strategic importance during discussions on bilateral energy cooperation.
“The process has been launched,” Novak said, adding that it includes technical and economic feasibility studies and negotiations to finalize the framework of the agreement.
As part of the deal, Kazakhstan, which will host part of the pipeline’s infrastructure, is set to receive up to 10 bcm of gas annually.
Kazakh Energy Minister Almasadam Satkaliyev confirmed the country’s interest in the project, emphasizing its benefits for the country’s energy supply. “Kazakhstan fully supports this project [that] will [supply] our northern regions,” he told journalists on Tuesday.
China is Russia’s biggest trade partner and the economic cooperation between the two nations has been steadily increasing despite unprecedented Western sanctions on Moscow. Bilateral turnover is expected to surpass $200 billion by the end of the year, Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov said back in October.
Russian energy major Gazprom reported a new daily record for gas deliveries to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline earlier this month. Under a bilateral agreement, Russia will supply 38 bcm of gas annually to the Asian country via the pipeline starting in 2025.
