China’s Russian supply may emerge by 2018

摘要

Russia’s 38bn m~3/yr Power of Siberia 1 gas pipeline and 16.5mn t/yr Yamal LNG project are progressing as scheduled and are likely to supply gas to China by 2018, Yang Lei, deputy chief of the oil and gas department at China’s National Energy Administration (NEA), says. Yang’s comments imply that China is hoping the first section of the Power of Siberia 1 project will be ready earlier than anticipated. Russian state-controlled Gazprom, the project’s operator, previously indicated the project would come on stream in 2019-21.
