China aims to slash its energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP by 20 percent by 2010 so natural gas, seen as an ideal way to meet this target, is in huge demand nationwide.
China''s first west-east gas pipeline went into commercial operation at the end of 2004, extending 4,000 kilometers from the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang and Shanghai.
The CNPC has planned to build a second west-east natural gas pipeline from 2008 to 2010, which will run 6,500 kilometers from northwest China''s gas-rich Xinjiang to the populous southern province of Guangdong, carrying 30 billion cubic meters of gas a year.
