BEIJING, May 12, 2017 – China is nearing the completion of pipeline sections connecting the country to major Russian conduits, an official from Heilongijang province was quoted as saying on Friday.

According to Vice-Governor Li Haitao, the completion of the Chinese section of the East Siberia Pacific Ocean project’s second 300,000 bopd pipeline is some 18 months away.

By year-end 2018, China’s end of the Russia-China gas pipeline, commonly referred to as the Power of Siberia project, should also be completed, Li told Reuters.
