Kazakh national energy company KazMunaiGas announced that it – along with China National Petroleum Corporation – have agreed to build a natural gas pipeline linking Beijing to natural gas reserves in the Caspian Sea. The companies will use a 50-50 operator to construct and maintain the pipeline, which will be built in two phases in 2008-2009. The first stage will connect Kazakhstan’s Uzbek border to China, and the second will connect Kazakh natural gas to the trunk pipeline.
