Over the last two weeks much has been written on the proposed natural
gas
supply deal between Russia and China and I have seen one report that
compares Putin's visit to Shanghai this month with Nixon's visit to
Beijing
in 1972.
Below is a summary of the main points that I have seen so far of what
has
appeared to have been agreed in connection with this proposed pipeline
transmission of gas from Eastern Siberia to China.
-38 bcm/annum of NG to be sold by Russia to China starting from Y2018 to
Y2047 (may be increased to 61 bcm/annum which would represent about 50%
of
Japan's current total gas usage)
-Y2013 Chinese gas consumption : 170 bcm ( Japan's gas consumption for
Y2013 was 120 bcm).
-Forecast Y2020 Chinese gas consumption : 420 bcm ( so supply gap of 250
bcm versus Y2013)
-Period of contract : 30 years.
-Value of contract $400 billion ($13.3 bn/annum)-largest gas contract
ever
written
-Source of gas : Chayanda and Kovyktinkoye Siberian gas fields
-Parties to contract: Gazprom and CNPC
-Pipelines to be constructed : 4,500 km from Chayanda to Blagoveshchensk
in
Amur Oblast and into Heilongjiang Province and south to Harbin and
Beijing
and China's southern and interior provinces including Shanghai, Fujian,
Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Chongqing provinces.
-Total estimated capital expenditure : $77 billion; $20 billion for
Russian
pipeline, $22 billion for Chinese pipeline, and $35 billion for upstream
investments. Potentially the largest global infrastructure project.
-Estimate mmbtu cost to China : $10 or $350 to $380 per mcm (estimated
b/evens for Gazprom range between $280 and $440 per mcm for Siberian gas
production)
-Estimated mmbtu sales point for Gazprom to achieve an IRR of 10% on
Siberian gas production: $16 mmbtu
-Estimated transmission costs to Beijing gate estimated between $1 and $
5
so total cost for Chinese consumers may range between $11 and $16 per
mmbtu.
-Estimated prepayment by China : $25 billion.
-Chinese loans to finance Russian infrastructure build in connection
with
this project : $50 billion.
-Estimated Chinese population in Russian Far East : 1 million
-Distance of Chinese pipeline from Incheon is only 300 km so potential
Korean implications.
-CNPC has also recently committed to 3 mtpa of LNG from Yamal Peninsula
-Currency denomination of contract : Ruble or Yuan (although contract
was
announced in dollars).
Obviously more to follow as more transparency emerges in the coming
weeks
and months.
