SINGAPORE: China's Kunlun Energy, a unit of state energy giant PetroChina, moved its first liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from a Russian oilfield to an industrial park in a Chinese city by the border, PetroChina's parent CNPC said on Tuesday.

Two trains carrying a total of 1,150 tonnes of LPG arrived in Manzhouli city in northeast China's Heilongjiang province in late August, CNPC said on its website, without specifying the supplier of the fuel.

Some 100,000 tonnes of Russian LPG is expected to be transported this way to the border city by early 2020, CNPC said, adding that the receiving point at Manzhouli has an annual handling capacity of more than 1 million tonnes of the fuel.

Kunlun Energy supplies the fuel to chemical plants and residential users in the region.
