互需互信成就中俄油气合作——专访中国石油中俄合作项目部总经理蒋奇

Mutual need and mutual trust drive oil and gas cooperation between China and Russia——An interview with JIANG Qi , general manager of CNPC China-Russia Cooperation Department

中俄油气合作历史久远,但也充满波折。2000年以来,随着中俄关系的不断深化,两国能源合作持续升温,2012年两国原油贸易量突破2200万吨。中俄石油长期贸易既为两国能源安全提供了保障,也创新了能源合作与金融合作相结合的一种新型国际能源合作模式。2013年3月,习近平主席访俄,中俄双方签署了增供原油的框架协议和从俄东部气田向中国供气的备忘录等,这反映了双方的相互需求和战略互信。中俄天然气西线合作仍暂时困于价格分歧,但未来前景乐观。蒋奇认为,形成合理的定价机制是未来各方努力的方向,建议东北亚地区各方共同努力推进统一天然气市场建设,促进区域性的天然气定价基准形成。

There is a long history of oil and gas cooperation between China and Russia, full of twists and turns. With constant, deepening Sino-Russian relations since 2000, China-Russia energy cooperation is increasing with crude oil trade between the two countries reaching 22 million tons in 2012. Long-term China-Russia oil trade has not only provided energy security, but also created a new type of international energy cooperation, namely one that includes financial cooperation. In March, 2013, Chairman Xi Jinping visited Russia where he signed a framework agreement for increasing crude oil supply, a memorandum for gas supply from Russia's eastern gas fields to China, etc. Western natural gas pipeline cooperation between China and Russia is still temporarily stuck in price differences, but with optimistic prospects. Forming a reasonable pricing mechanism is the direction for future cooperation, suggesting parties (countries) of northeast Asia should establish a single natural gas market and promote the establishment of a regional natural gas pricing benchmark.
