Gazprom and China's CNPC have agreed on all but the starting point of indexed prices on Russian gas supplies to China, Gazprom deputy chairman Alexander Medvedev said at the World Gas Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Interfax reported Wednesday.
"The Chinese side proposed an integrated approach — jointly transporting gas to the target markets and jointly marketing it. We agreed to consider whether it's a place to bring in additional revenue," Medvedev said.
The Gazprom press service reported that Medvedev and CNPC vice president Wang Dongjin discussed supplying liquefied natural gas. Medvedev told reporters Wednesday that the capacity of the LNG plant in Vladivostok could be up to 25 million tons per year, rather than 10 million tons per year as mentioned earlier. Gazprom also said there is a "good chance" that all three phases of its Shtokman gas field will be developed into liquefied natural gas.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
