The Power of Siberia GTS.

The building of the huge pipeline from the middle of Sibirea to China is well on its way.

The deal with China was signed May the 21, on May 23 the contract for building of the pipeline was signed.

Welding the first joints of this pipeline are planned to August this year, Gazprom and Russia has no time to lose.

The pipline is called The Power of Siberia, sometimes with GTS in the end.

GTS simply means Gas Transportion Systems. 

The Power of Siberia will go all the way to Khabarovsk, where existing pipelines will take the gas further - for instance to Vladivostok.

Vladivostok is a great place if you want to sell gas to Japan and South Korea. 

The town of Blagoveshchensk is situated nearby the border to China, this is the most likely point to transport the gas into China.

On the other side of the border China will build the pipeline to take the gas on to Chinese factories and consumers.
