Crude oil flows from Kazakhstan to China
www.chinanews.cn 2006-05-01 15:54:09
Chinanews, May 1 - On April 30, oil from the Republic of Kazakhstan
arrived at the Alataw Pass in China's Xinjiang, after a 1,800-kilometer
"trudge." It is learned that the Alataw Pass-Dushanzi crude oil pipeline
within China has been ready to receive transmitted oil. Experts indicate
that this means that Kazakhstan will start to supply oil to China this
May, marking the beginning of the age of China's oil supply through
trans-frontier land-way pipelines.
The Sino-Kazakhstan oil pipeline starts from Atyrau, a coastal city in
Kazakhstan, in the west and finally reaches Dushanzi Petrochemical
Company Ltd. in China's Xinjiang, with the whole length exceeding 3,000
kilometers.
Xia Yishan, director of the China Energy Strategy Research Institute,
revealed that only half of the recent 10 million tons of crude oil came
from Kazakhstan and the other half was provided by Russia. This pipeline
indicates the energy cooperation relationship among China, Kazakhstan and
Russia.
In terms of specific functions of this oil pipeline, Xia Yishan made his
own analysis: First, it is conducive to China's strategy of diversified
oil supply; second, China not only needs a sufficient quantity of oil but
also demands stable, safe and sustainable oil supply; third, this
pipeline will play an important supplementary role in China's domestic
oil supply, especially the west-to-east oil and gas transmission project.
