The gas for the future pipeline, running from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to Khabarovsk, will be secured by Sakhalin-3 project, where Rosneft holds the license for one of its blocks, but will hardly be able to export the gas in line with intention.
Together, the above three pipelines will form the so-called eastern route to China. It will be filled by gas produced under the Sakhalin-3 project. The project has four blocks overall, Rosneft holds the license for Veininsky block (49 percent; CINOPEС ? 25 percent). The remaining three blocks will be auctioned in the near term.
