Russian energy giant Gazprom have planned to sign a 30-year gas supply
contract with China via the western route, the company's CEO Alexei
Miller said Wednesday.
"Gazprom plans to sign a contract to
supply China with 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas via western
route over thirty years," Xinhua quoted Miller as telling President
Vladimir Putin during their meeting here.
The China-Russia West
Route natural gas pipeline project connects gas deposits in Western
Siberia and the northwestern part of China via Russia's Altai region.
Gazprom is to sign the 30-year contract with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) in November.
Miller also said Gazprom might consider more than doubling the volume of supply.
