摘要

China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) has started building a new 1,000 kilometer pipeline with the capacity to pump 30 billion cubic meters per year of gas from Turkmenistan across Central Asia to western China. The pipeline, known as "D", will complement the three existing lines "A", "B" and "C" that last year pumped a combined 30 Bcm/yr of Turkmen gas to China, the vice president of the group's listed subsidiary, PetroChina, told reporters in the Kazakh capital, Astana.
