Uzbekistan to sell 10bn cu. m. of gas to China annually

A gas pipeline linking Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan with China was commissioned at the end of last year. The plan was for Uzbekistan to ship a certain amount of its own natural gas to China. For this purpose an additional segment needed to be added to the pipeline running via Uzbekistan.
The press service of the Uzbekneftegaz [Uzbek Oil and Gas] state company says the welding of some 40 per cent of the new pipeline segment has been carried out by now, and that it will be completed by August this year.
Once commissioned, the new gas pipeline will be used to pump about 10bn cu. m. of gas annually from the Gazli underground reservoir [central Uzbekistan] to China. (BBCCA)
