West-East Gas Pipeline 5 (WEPPV) is a propsed natural gas pipeline.

Location

The pipeline runs from Ulugqat, Kizilsu, Xinjiang to Zhongwei, Ningxia, China, with further potentials. Because the precise route of this pipeline is unknown as of September 2021, the route of West-East Gas Pipeline 4 has been duplicated here, because both pipelines have similar endpoints.

Background

The natural gas source of the pipeline comes from Xinjiang Tarim Oil&gas field, Coal gasification, and imported natural gas from Central Asia. The pipeline will eventually reach Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, and Guangdong. In October 2020 ownership of the pipeline was transferred from CNPC to PipeChina.
