Press release: Gazprom and CNPC hold meeting of Joint Coordinating Committee

A regular meeting of the Joint Coordinating Committee (JCC) of Gazprom and CNPC moderated by Vitaly Markelov, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Wang Dongjin, Vice President of CNPC, took place in Moscow.

The meeting reviewed the progress of concerted efforts of the companies in the course of 2017, as well as ongoing and future cooperation in key focus areas.

Specifically, a briefing was given on joint actions in the field of underground gas storage, gas-fired power generation in China, use of gas as a vehicle fuel, mutual recognition of standards by the two companies, occupational health and safety of oil and gas infrastructure personnel, and staff training.

During the meeting, the parties discussed the status of the project for natural gas deliveries from Russia to China via the eastern route. It was noted that the project was kept strictly on schedule.

The parties also held negotiations on the project for gas supplies to China from Russia’s Far East.

The JCC co-chairmen approved the action plans for the JCC working groups for 2018.

“The cooperation between our companies is highly dynamic and has a dense business agenda. The regularity of our meetings and the increasingly wide range of topics we discuss are testament to how many common interests we have and how well we understand each other while moving in the same direction. Furthermore, the scale of the joint projects we implement is proof of the strategic importance and potential of our interactions,” said Vitaly Markelov.
