LNG

The Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan with some of the world’s largest oil and gas fields on its territory and part of an infrastructure network with Russia to supply natural gas to China in competition to LNG, is boosting its own domestic gas output as well as its role as a gas transit nation.

Gazprom, the Russian pipeline gas and LNG provider looking for other markets after being frozen out of the West over the Ukraine invasion, said it had significantly increased pipeline flows to China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) in line with existing supplemental agreement.
