On November 18, the China-Russia east-route natural gas pipeline project was completed, entering the final preparation stage before operation. The pipeline, with a total length of 5,111 kilometers, starts in Heihe city, in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang province, and extends south to Shanghai.
Once fully operational, the pipeline will supply a stable natural gas of 38 billion cubic meters annually to the three provinces in Northeast China, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta, and other areas. It can meet the annual gas demand of 130 million urban households.
