ALATAW PASS, Xinjiang, May 25 - Crude oil from Kazakhstan poured into
China Thursday morning through a newly completed petroleum pipeline
linking the two countries.
Brownish oil sprang into a petroleum hub in Alataw Pass, northwest
China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, at 3:10 a.m. Thursday, about 30
hours after Kazakhstan started to pump oil into the pipeline, customs
officers at the Alataw Pass told Xinhua.
Technicians with the Sino-Kazakh Oil Pipeline Co. Ltd opened the valve on
the China-Kazakhstan border at 7:32 p.m. Tuesday after instructions were
received from their Kazak counterparts in Atasu, who started pumping oil
into the pipeline at 8:22 p.m. the same day.
Experts say construction of the oil pipeline is a win-win strategy for
both countries as it enhances China's oil supply and proves an ideal
outlet for Kazakhstan's oil export.
The pipeline, which extends 962.2 kilometers from Atasu in Kazakhstan to
the Alataw Pass of Xinjiang, was completed in November 2005 at the cost
of 700 million U.S. dollars.
It is designed to transmit 20 million tons of oil annually.
