Gazprom PJSC, the world’s biggest natural gas supplier, is preparing a deal with China to build a pipeline near the Pacific coast as talks about a West Siberian link drag.
The state-run Russian company plans to sign a memorandum of understanding about supplying gas to China through a pipeline from the country’s Far East during President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Beijing this week, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters in Moscow on Monday. The firm contract on fuel supplies from West Siberia is “unlikely” during the two-day trip set to start Wednesday, Ushakov said.
