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.
