21, in the Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Dmitry Putin testimony, Chinese Petroleum Corporation and Russia's Gazprom ("Russian gas")the "Sino Russian East gas purchase and sale contract" signed in Shanghai the end of day, China and Russia began in 2004 natural gas negotiations "marathon".According to the two sides agreed, from 2018 onwards, Russia to supply gas toChinese through Sino Russian natural gas pipeline gas transmission capacity ofthe East, is increasing year by year, eventually reached 38000000000 cubic meters per year, a total of 30 years.
"China and Russia in the bid price or between"
The Russian President Alexei Miller said, the total contract value of$400000000000, is the Russian gas company in the history of the largest single,"do not have any company and signed such a big list".
The Sino Russian East natural gas supply contract negotiations have lasted tenyears, finally disagreement lies in: price. Russia exports to Europe's natural gasprice is $380 per thousand cubic meters. The Russian side said, because of the climate conditions of the Far East is bad, pipeline transportation cost is higher, soto China gas price expectations higher than the price of exports to europe.
The price difference causes talks dragged on. "The contract has been completed 98%", before Putin's visit, the Russian ambassador to China Denisov told the Beijing News reporter said, "the only question is the price."

Because the natural gas contract price is a commercial secret, so don't open.

This price and the Russian natural gas exports to Europe of the same price. But the Chinese from Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries to import natural gas price is around $200. Sun Yongxiang that the two can not becompared, because in Turkmenistan, China invested a lot. And east the harsh natural environment, transportation cost is relatively high number.
Effect of gas target market consists of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region
Discussion on natural gas cooperation between China and Russia started in the last century of China's natural gas market just development, after more than ten years.
The annual imports of 38000000000 Party of natural gas resources will furthermeet China's thirst for clean resources. The Russian gas imports the main target market is China's northeast, Beijing Tianjin Hebei region and Yangtze River Delta region, and through the pipe network, the balance of national supply pattern.
The Sino Russian East natural gas project will come from the Russian Far Eastnatural gas resource is transported to the northeast of China entry. This pipeline will be with the China Russia crude oil pipeline has been put into operationtogether, constitute a natural gas imports of large artery of Chinese oil and gas import strategic route of the northeast.

Effects of major significance to ensure China's energy security
"The ultimate implementation of the Sino Russian East natural gas project means that the strategic layout of China's natural gas imports diversification basic finish."China University of Petroleum professor Liu Yijun said, China's natural gas imports of northeast, northwest, southwest and the sea the four big channel layoutfinalized, contribute to the realization of natural gas import multiple channels,multiple sources and multiple varieties, to safeguard China's energy security of great significance.
To control air pollution, natural gas becomes our country to promote energystructure transformation is an important choice. According to statistics, in the oileconomy and Technology Research Institute in 2013, China's natural gasconsumption of 167600000000 cubic meters, a year-on-year growth of 13.9%, to become the world's third largest natural gas consumer. Over the next few years,China's natural gas consumption may continue to maintain an annual growth of about 10%.
This pipeline will accelerate the completion of the national basic backbone network built, and pull the gas pipeline along the people's livelihood and employment and economic development. "This will put forward higher requirements to accelerate the process of market-oriented reform of natural gas industry in china." Liu Yijun said
