China's west-east gas pipelines transported 36 billion cubic meters of
natural gas to 18 provincial-level areas in 2011, up 11.5 billion cubic
meters from one year earlier, the China National Petroleum Corporation
(CNPC) said Monday.
By the end of last year, the Tarim Basin gas fields, China's main source
of natural gas, had provided nearly 90 billion cubic meters of natural
gas to 3,000 companies and millions of residents in more than 110 cities
via the pipelines, the CNPC said in a statement on its website.
In November, China's second west-east natural gas transmission pipeline
began transferring natural gas to the energy-starved Pearl River Delta.
The second pipeline has already transported 16.14 million cubic meters
of gas to south China's Guangdong province, according to the statement.
Composed of eight sub-pipelines and one major pipeline, the second
west-east pipeline project starts in west China's Xinjiang Uygur
autonomous region and reaches Shanghai in the east, as well as Guangzhou
and Hong Kong in the south.
The pipeline can transmit 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually and has a minimum service life of more than 30 years.
