China's state-owned oil giants Sinopec and PetroChina successfully connected the Sichuan-East China gas pipeline with the second West-East gas pipeline over weekend, Sinopec said Monday, April 27.
The connection is in Hubei province's Wuxue city.
It runs 1.58 km and can carry up to 22.86 million cu m/day, Sinopec said. The estimated Yuan 108.74 million project was submitted to the government in 2012 and began construction in 2013.
Sinopec's Sichuan-East China gas pipeline, which started in August 2010, is 2,170 km and can carry up to 12 Bcm/year.
It runs from the Puguang gas field in Dazhou, Sichuan province, to Shanghai and was mainly designed to supply gas to the economically dynamic Yangtze River Delta.
PetroChina's second West-East gas pipeline started in June 2011. It is stretches 8,704 km and can carry 30 Bcm/year.
It starts in Horgos in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where it connects with the Central Asia-China Gas Pipeline.
It runs through 14 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and ends in Hong Kong.
The second West-East gas pipeline carries gas imported from Central Asian countries and supply produced in the Tarim, Junggar, Tuha and Ordos basins to the Pearl River and the Yangtze River delta areas.China's state-owned oil giants Sinopec and PetroChina successfully connected the Sichuan-East China gas pipeline with the second West-East gas pipeline over weekend, Sinopec said Monday, April 27.
