Pipe Equipments Demands Rising for China-Russia Gas Pipe
Zhang Gaoli, the Vice Prime Minister of State Council Attended the Eleventh Meeting of China-Russia Energy Cooperation Committee and participated in the commencement ceremony of China-Russia gas pipe in Russia which was held on September 1. According to gas cooperation contract signed by China and Russia in May, the total amount is almost 4 hundred billion dollars and the total length of pipe is 5,000 km. Adding with the promotion of significant energy corridors construction in China, pipe equipments demands will rise.
It is known that China-Russia gas pipe consists of Russia and China. Among that length in Russia is about 2,680 km and the pipe will be originated from Heihe, going through Beijing and arriving at Shanghai. The length of new built pipe is about 3,060 km. Point of entry in China is about 10 km far from the northern of Heihe Development Zone. Diameter of pipe ranges from 1,016 mm to 1,420 mm, which is also equipped with 5 underground gas storages. The 5,000 km pipe is expected to bring millions tons of new increasing pipe demands.
Moreover, energy corridors construction in China is also advancing. For the projects which will be or are being launched, the total investment of new Guangdong-Zhejiang pipe led by Sinopec is 1.59 hundred billion RMB and the pipe is estimated that will drive more than 4.2 million tons of demands in main line. The demands in branch lines and urban lines are 4 times or 7 times of main line. The investment of the four line projects of West-East Gas Pipeline is 36 billion RMB. Preliminary work which has been already launched is predicted to drive more than 1 million tons of steel consumption for oil and gas pipelines.
It is estimated that gas pipes construction will bring 10.8 million tons of oil and gas transmission pipeline demands and result in the scale of gas pipelines construction exceeding 50 trillion RMB during the 12th Five-Year Plan. Currently, with the second of the 12th Five-Year Plan coming, previous anti-corruption in energy led to part of pipelines invitation for bids being put off. The pipelines construction will be sped up, and pipe equipments demands will increase.
