Chinese LNG imports rise year-on-year in June though fall short of previous month’s cargo deliveries
Chinese liquefied natural gas imports increased in June by almost 24 percent as energy demand recovered because of lower prices and more regasification capacity coming on line, though LNG deliveries were less than in the previous month.
Russia-China gas plans
June 10 (LNG) - Gazprom Chairman Alexey Miller and his counterpart at China National Petroleum. Corp, Wang Yilin, have held talks in St. Petersburg on the ongoing preparations for the start of Russian pipeline gas supplies to China via the eastern “Power of Siberia” project due to start up on December 1.
“The construction of the border-adjacent Atamanskaya compressor station, which will maintain the required pressure during gas deliveries to China, is nearing completion,” said Miller. Gazprom said that they also discussed cooperation between the companies in the areas of gas-fired power generation, underground gas storage and use of natural gas as a vehicle fuel.
