Transportation capacity of China-Russia pipeline gradually increases

China-Russia east-route natural gas pipeline has transported over 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas since it was put into operation four years ago, said its operator China Oil & Gas Pipeline Network Corp on Saturday.

The pipeline has transported more than 20 billion cubic meters of natural gas so far this year, a record high, said the company, also known as PipeChina.

The transportation capacity of the pipeline has been gradually increasing since its operation. The capacity is expected to further climb in 2024, significantly lifting the natural gas supply capacity in the country, it said.
