On December 2, the China-Russia East Line Natural Gas Pipeline, the largest single-pipe gas transmission pipeline in China, was fully connected, with an annual gas transmission capacity of 38 billion cubic meters, reaching the highest level. Natural gas is transported from Heihe, Heilongjiang, all the way south to the eastern part of China, and finally reaches Shanghai.
The China-Russia East Line is the third cross-border natural gas pipeline supplying gas to China after the Central Asia Pipeline and the China-Myanmar Pipeline. It is an important part of the Northeast Corridor among China's four major energy strategic channels.
The China-Russia East Line starts from Heihe, Heilongjiang Province in the north and ends in Shanghai, passing through 9 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. It is 5,111
kilometers long and is divided into three sections: the northern section (Heihe, Heilongjiang Province - Changling, Jilin Province), the middle section (Changling, Jilin Province - Yongqing, Hebei Province), and the southern section (Yongqing, Hebei Province - Shanghai).
Since the northern section was put into operation on December 2, 2019, the sections from Changling, Jilin to Taixing, Jiangsu have been put into operation one after another, and the natural gas transported has increased year by year from 5 billion cubic meters in the first year to more than 30 billion cubic meters in 2024. The Nantong to Luzhi section put into operation this time is the last section of the newly built pipeline in the southern section of the China-Russia East Line, which realizes the full connection of the China-Russia East Line, and the "north gas goes south" directly to Shanghai, and is connected with the West-East Gas Pipeline System to further cover Zhejiang, Anhui and other places.
With the full line connected, the annual gas transmission capacity of the China-Russia East Line reached 38 billion cubic meters, and it was interconnected with the Northeast Pipeline Network, the Shaanxi-Beijing Pipeline System, the West-East Gas Pipeline System, and multiple coastal liquefied natural gas receiving stations and gas storage facilities, effectively enhancing the natural gas supply capacity and emergency peak-shaving guarantee capabilities in China's eastern region. It is estimated that by 2025, the natural gas entering the Yangtze River Delta region through the China-Russia East Line will further increase by nearly 5 billion cubic meters, accounting for about one-fifth of the total gas transmission of the National Pipeline Network Group to the Yangtze River Delta region, effectively improving the regional natural gas supply capacity.
