Russia officially launched the Russian section of an oil pipeline that delivers east Siberian oil to China. At the opening ceremony of the branch of the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline held in Skovorodino in the far eastern Amur region, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin hailed the pipeline as a multi-dimensional project to enhance Sino-Russian energy cooperation. “We will deliver 30 million tons of oil and, in case of expansion, 50 million tons to the Asia-Pacific Region,” he said. The ESPO pipeline, running from Taishet in eastern Siberia to Nakhodka, is more than 4,000 kilometers long. The Russia-China branch runs from Skovorodino to China’s oil city Daqing and is designed to pump up to 220,000 tons of crude per day from Siberia to China.
