“Russia’s
energy minister says the country’s gas giant, Gazprom, is expected
to finalize a second contract for delivering gas to China in coming
months.”
“The
new planned pipeline, known as the 'Western route', would cut through
Russia’s Altai Republic to connect fields in western Siberia to
northwest China. It is expected to carry 30 billion cubic meters
(bcm) of gas annually. The volume may go up to 100 bcm a year.”
“Gazprom’s
CEO Alexey Miller said recently that the gas giant will meet all its
obligations with regard to supplying gas to China. [...] These
remarks come as European governments have threatened to impose fresh
sanctions on Russia should a newly-signed ceasefire deal for ending
the crisis in eastern Ukraine fail.”
