Russia pipes out record gas supplies to China as exports surge

Moscow:  Russian energy giant Gazprom pumped a record amount of natural gas to China over the weekend through the Force of Siberia pipeline as Russian gas exports continued their monthly climb.

“July 17 marked a new historic record of daily deliveries of Russian gas to China via the Force of Siberia pipeline,” the company said on social media.
Russian gas supplies to China rose more than 63 per cent in the first half of this year after Gazprom and China’s CNPC signed a new deal in early February for the delivery of up to 48 billion of cubic meters of gas per year. (UNI/SPUTNIK)
