Reuters reports that China has built and connected the 5111 km (3175 mile) Power-of-Siberia pipeline to deliver gas from Russia's Siberian fields to users as far as the financial hub of Shanghai, Chinese state media reported on Monday 2 December, 2024.

The completion will allow the project to reach its full annual designed capacity of 38 billion m3 in 2025, roughly 9% of China's consumption this year.

Chinese builders added the last section, a 167 km line from Nantong to Luzhi in the eastern province of Jiangsu, around mid-November, completing the massive project seven months ahead of schedule.

The pipeline has a diameter of 1.422 meters, allowable pressure of 12 megapascals and the largest transport capacity for a single pipeline, state television said.

The Power-of-Siberia pipeline began pumping gas in late 2019, and Russia has been ramping up supplies since. It is slated to deliver 38 billion m3 in 2025, state media said, a level 26% higher than the 30 billion m3 estimated by analysts for 2024.

Citing an official with state-run PipeChina, the report said Power-of-Siberia is currently sending 110 million m3/d of gas, versus 15 million m3 when the project first came on stream five years ago.
