Russia-China pipeline ready in 'a few weeks': Putin

by Staff Writers
 Moscow (AFP) April 6, 2009
 Russia will finish an oil pipeline connecting Siberian oil fields to energy-hungry China in several weeks, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday.

"As I have just been told by the management of Transneft, within just a few weeks the phase of reaching the Chinese border will be completed, and we will move on further to the Pacific Ocean," he said a speech to Russian lawmakers.

Putin did not specify when the branch would actually begin pumping Russian oil to China.

Transneft is the Russian state-owned oil pipeline monopoly which has been building the East Siberian-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline to supply Asian markets.

The 4,700-kilometre (2,900-mile) pipeline is extend to Russia's Pacific coastline but Moscow has agreed to build a relatively short 67-kilometre (42-mile) spur to supply oil to northern China.

Putin and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao agreed to build the spur last October in a milestone deal for energy cooperation between Beijing and its former Cold War rival Moscow.

Washington, April 2, 2009
The reverberations of January's natural gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine continue to resound throughout European energy markets. Europe, alarmed by the vulnerability of its supplies, is sounding out new possibilities for transmission of natural gas, including the proposed Nabucco pipeline. Russia, in its turn, is seeking bypass routes around its increasingly nationalist southern neighbor.
