As of 8 a.m. on March 22, the main gas source of the West-to-East Gas Transmission – China National Petroleum Corporation’s (CNPC) Tarim Oilfield had supplied over 3,500 billion cubic meters of natural gas to the West-to-East Gas Transmission Pipeline Network. Converted to standard coal equivalent, this is 466 million tons, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 757 million tons and providing gas for the daily use and production of 15 provinces and more than 120 large and medium-sized cities.

In nearly 20 years since the launch of the West-East Gas Transmission Project, the Tarim Oilfield has successfully developed 19 large and medium-sized gas fields, including Kesen 9 and Kesen 13, with annual oil and gas output equivalent to more than 30 million tons for four consecutive years and maintaining stable growth.
