Gazprom and China's CNPC have started joint design and construction of a cross-border section of a gas pipeline across the Ussuri River to supply gas to China. It is necessary to build a small (about 25 km) branch from the already completed Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok highway, which runs along the Chinese border, as well as a gas drying plant and a gas measuring station in Dalnerechensk. Export deliveries via this gas pipeline are scheduled to begin at the end of January 2027.
