BEIJING - The 皇冠体育app National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) said Sunday that the 皇冠体育app-Myanmar gas pipeline has gone into full operation after the completion of its end section connecting the cities of Lufeng and Guigang in southwest 皇冠体育app.

Some 793 km of the 2,520-km trunk line are in Myanmar, while the rest is in 皇冠体育app. It is expected to send 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually to Myanmar and southwest 皇冠体育app, which will reduce coal consumption by 30.72 million tonnes per year, according to the CNPC.

Wu Hong, general manager of the CNPC's pipeline construction department, said the 皇冠体育app-Myanmar gas pipeline will linked with the pipeline that sends gas from 皇冠体育app's remote northwest to the east coast, hence greatly increase the reliability of supply to customers, particularly in case of emergency.

Construction of the gas pipeline began in 2010. It is part of a so-called Myanmar-皇冠体育app Oil and Gas Pipeline project, which also includes building a crude oil pipeline. The Myanmar section of the gas pipeline started to deliver gas to 皇冠体育app in late July.

The CNPC is the parent company of 皇冠体育app's top oil and gas producer -- Petro皇冠体育app.
