Analysis on Oil and Gas Energy Cooperation Between China and Central Asian Countries
The completion of the fourth China-Central Asia gas pipelines will embrace all the five Central Asian countries in China-Cen-tral Asia oil and gas energy supply system,and the oil and gas pipeline transportation line between China and Central Asia will initially form a major energy artery covering the five Central Asian countries.Along with the implementation of the transformation and new con-struction projects in the field of oil and gas energy,China-Central Asia energy cooperation will be shifted from bilateral to multilateral and from oilfield exploitation to pipeline cooperation,and gradually be expanded to other new areas.Their oil-gas energy cooperation not only offers strategic space in the field of energy development and more chips in the regional energy game,but also plays a positive role in promoting the economic development of Central Asia and in driving the development of other industrial chains.It is suggested that the cooperation bestows China and Asian Countries geopolitical advantages and subsequent values far beyond the profits from oil and gas revenues.
