Russia's government expertise review has issued a positive conclusion for the Far East supply route to China. According to the document, "the main state expertise directorate has issued a positive conclusion for the government expertise regarding the design documentation and the results of engineering surveys of the capital construction project, namely the 'gas pipeline branch from the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas pipeline to the territorial border of the People's Republic of China'."
The gas pipeline is planned to be built in the Lesozavodsky District of the Primorsk Territory. As reported, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller a month ago said that the concern had already begun construction on the Far East route for supplying gas to China, and that gas should be exported via the pipeline at the end of January 2027.
Gazprom signed the contract for the Far East route in February 2022. The contract envisages supplying up to 10 billion m3/y to China for at least 25 years. The two countries' respective governments signed an intergovernmental agreement that mainly regulates the construction of a cross-border gas pipeline across the Ussuri River. A small branch totalling around 25 km must be built from the already completed Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok main line, which runs along the Chinese border, in order to supply China.
