The Chinese oil corporation PetroChina signed an agreement to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) with two oil and gas companies of Turkmenistan.Over 30 years, Turkmenistan will export to China 30 billion cubic meters of gas annually to the Central Asian gazoprovodu.Predstavitel China Petroleum Corporation PetroChina said that the signing of this agreement is a symbol of the implementation of the master agreement on cooperation in the field of liquefied gas and entrance into a new stage of cooperation between the two Countries, said China Internet Information Center. There are two plans of liquefied gas transport between China and Turkmenistan: firstly, the carriage of liquefied gas directly from Turkmenistan to China through Kazakhstan, and, secondly, the transportation of liquefied gas from Turkmenistan to Uzbekistan and then in China through Kazakhstan. China has already signed cooperation agreements with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which have large reserves of oil and liquefied gas. It is possible that the three Central Asian countries will begin to supply LNG to China earlier than Russia, passes RusEnergy.
