Background

CNPC is China's state-owned oil and gas company and one of the world's leading integrated energy companies.

On May 21, 2014, Gazprom and CNPC signed the Sales and Purchase Agreement for gas to be supplied via the eastern route (Power of Siberia gas pipeline). The 30-year Agreement provides for Russian gas deliveries to China in the amount of 38 billion cubic meters per year.

On May 8, 2015, Gazprom and CNPC inked the Heads of Agreement for pipeline deliveries of natural gas from Russia to China via the western route (Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline). At the initial stage, 30 billion cubic meters of gas is planned to be annually delivered from Western Siberian fields.

CNOOC is among the top three Chinese oil and gas companies focused on hydrocarbon field exploration and development, as well as oil and gas production and sales in China. CNOOC has an exclusive right for prospecting, exploration, and production of oil and gas offshore China. The company is also China's largest LNG importer.

On November 9, 2014, Gazprom and CNOOC signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
