Prokopyevsky-Toutunhe Pipeline was a proposed natural gas pipeline from Russia to China. It was also known as "Russia-China West Pipeline Domestic Extension", to be distinguished from Russia-China East Line Domestic Extension. Based on a change of the route in 2021 of the Power of Siberia 2 Gas Pipeline that had been originally planned to connect to this pipeline, we consider this pipeline to be now cancelled.

Location

The pipeline was planned to run from Prokopyevsky District, Russia to Toutunhe, Ürümqi, Xinjiang, China.

Pipeline Background

The proposal of a Russia-China West Pipeline was negotiated in early 2000s but the negotiation was halted for a decade. In 2014, the two countries were close to reaching an agreement on this project. In 2020, the sponsor company on the Russian side, Gazprom, has shifted the route entering China, from mountainous Altai Region to through Mongolia. The plan was approved to enter "Pre-investment phase".
