Background

The Alashankou–Dushanzi Crude Oil Pipeline is a 246 kilometer long pipeline connecting the Kazakhstan–China oil pipeline with Dushanzi District in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. The pipeline was constructed and operated by the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).

The capacity of pipeline is 200,000 barrels per day, and it supplies mainly the Dushanzi refinery in China. The pipeline became operational in 2005 and the first oil through the pipeline reached the refinery in 2006.

In October 2020 ownership of the pipeline was transferred from CNPC to PipeChina.

Kazakhstan-China Pipeline connection

The Alashankou–Dushanzi Crude Oil Pipeline is connected to the Kazakhstan-China Pipeline, a 1,384-mile-long pipeline allowing oil import from Central Asia to China. is supplied from the Aktobe region's fields and from the Kumkol field. In the future, the main supply source will be Kashagan field. The pipeline is used also for the transportation of oil from Russia's western Siberia by connection with the Omsk (Russia)–Pavlodar (Kasakhstan)–Shymkent–Türkmenabat (Turkmenistan) pipeline in Atasu oil terminal. Oil is transported through this pipeline by Russian companies TNK-BP and Gazprom Neft.
