The construction of line C will ensure the export of natural gas from Uzbekistan to China. In 2011, China and Uzbekistan signed a series of agreements, which provided a sound basis for the construction of the line C.
The China-Central Asia Gas Pipeline starts from the border between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, runs through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and finally ends at Horgos City in China. It is a double-line pipeline, including line A and line B, and has a length of 1,833 kilometers.
Line C is predicted to have a length of 1840 kilometers and will be in parallel with lines A and B. The bureau has contracted for the 156.6-kilomerter project in Uzbekistan through an EPC (Engineer, Procure, and Construct) structure.
