An open day on the Myanmar-China oil and gas pipeline project was held by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) today. It was the first part of the company’s open day series event. Themed “One Belt, One Future”, the online event highlighted information technology and showcased the beautiful scenery of Myanmar and the construction site of the pipeline project. CNPC’s most highly invested project in Myanmar includes construction of the Myanmar-China crude oil and natural gas pipeline and the supportive Made Island crude oil port. By June, 33.12 million tons of crude oil and 33 billion cubic meters of natural gas had been transmitted through the pipeline.
The former oil terminal on the island has now evolved into a 3,00,000-ton large-scale modern crude oil port and the pipeline project has become an icon of trade and economic cooperation between China and Myanmar. According to Xu Wenrong, vice president of CNPC, the open day event is an innovative attempt to promote the company to people in different countries. Xu expressed his willingness to join hands with governments, partners and people from all walks of life and to deepen cooperation in more fields and at a high level in building an oil and gas community with shared interests and creating a bright energy future.
