BEIJING: Chinese energy giant CNPC started to build a new gas field at its Amu River gas production project in Turkmenistan, with designed daily output at around 4 million cubic metres, the company said in a statement on Tuesday
The new gas field is expected to start producing at the beginning of 2019, which will help to ease China's winter gas crunch
Natural gas from the Amu River company accounts for around one third of China's imports from central Asia during winter
