After dehydration, desulfurization and decarbonization, freshly extracted gas from Central Asian countries merges into the China-Central Asia natural gas pipeline, jointly operated by the China National Petroleum Corporation and local partners.
Traversing wild deserts and grasslands, the natural gas in the pipeline will travel nearly 2,000 km eastward over the next 84 hours to the Chinese border city of Horgos in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, from where it is distributed further to various Chinese regions, including Shanghai, Fuzhou, and Hong Kong.
Data showed that in 2022, the Horgos Station delivered about 43 billion cubic meters of Central Asian natural gas.—Xinhua
