The Central Asia Natural Gas Pipeline will deliver 43.2 billion cubic meters of gas to China in 2022

It was learned from the first station of Khorgos compressor gas in the western pipeline of the national pipeline network that the Central Asian natural gas pipeline will deliver 43.
2 billion cubic meters of gas to China in 2022, providing a strong guarantee
for the rapidly growing domestic natural gas market demand.


The first station of Khorgos compressor gas is the first stop of Central Asian natural gas entering China, and it is also the "leading station" of the second and third lines of China's west-to-east gas transmission and the "heart" and "power cabin"
of the whole line.
The station undertakes the receiving, metering and export of transnational natural gas and Ili coal-to-gas from Central Asia, and has eight natural gas compressors with a total power of more than 240 MW, which can add kinetic energy
to more than 2,000 square meters of natural gas per second.
The station operation personnel adhere to the "3+1+ special" patrol mode, record various data parameters every day, and timely sort out and report to ensure the smooth operation
of the natural gas pipeline.
Jin Yaohui, secretary of the party branch of the Khorgos Operation Area of the Western Pipeline Company of the State Pipe Network Group, said: "We have strengthened the monitoring of the supply and demand situation and the forecast of peak demand, improved the smooth operation level of the pipeline network through the accurate measurement of gas quality and gas quantity at the front end of the first station in Khorgos and the high-quality management of equipment and facilities such as compressors, and made every effort to ensure the safe and stable delivery of more than 100 million natural gas to all parts of the country
every day.
" "

The Central Asia natural gas pipeline is China's first cross-border energy channel of natural gas imported by land, starting from the border between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the west, passing through central Uzbekistan and southern Kazakhstan, entering through the Khorgos port in Xinjiang, China, and connecting with the second and third lines of domestic west-to-east gas transmission pipelines through the Khorgos compressor station, effectively ensuring the gas
consumption of more than 500 million residents in 27 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities along the downstream pipeline and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region 。 Ma Lei, deputy head of the comprehensive business section of Khorgos Customs, said: "We give priority to customs clearance procedures for imported natural gas, and implement joint supervision by China and Kazakhstan Customs by means of regular verification and measurement system and 'on-site + remote video + test report' to ensure the safety and smooth flow of the national energy channel
.
" "

Since it was put into operation in 2009, the first station of Khorgos compressor has achieved a total of 4,768 days of safe and stable operation, and the highest daily transmission volume has exceeded 163 million cubic meters
.
As of December 31, 2022, Khorgos has transported a total of 423.
2 billion cubic meters of imported natural gas at the first station
.
