China takes Russian gas: documentation of the power of Siberia and Yamal LNG Russian gas exports to China increased through two channels at once - pipeline and sea. On November 4, Gazprom updated for the third time since the beginning of the month the historical maximum of the daily gas supply to China through the Siberian powerhouse. Previous listings were recorded on November 1 and 3, Interfax reported, citing the company. The gas pipeline has reached its design capacity of 38 billion cubic meters. m per year. At the same time, from December 2025, Russia began to gradually increase supplies as part of an agreement with CNPC to increase the annual volume to 44 billion cubic meters. from. To increase output, additional sections of the gas pipeline are being built, and production capacity is being expanded in Kyotya and the Irkutsk region. In 2025, 38.84 billion cubic meters were supplied to China through Siberian power. m of gas - at 0.84 billion cubic meters. m above the original plan. This is also a record in the marine sector. According to preliminary data from Kepler, in October Russian plants will export 3.42 million tons of LNG, 11.9% more than a year earlier. In the months of January-October, exports reached 28.65 million tons, an increase of 13.5%. China became the main source of growth: for ten months, Russian LNG supply to the country increased by 47%, to 8.8 million tons. According to Kepler, the Chinese route accounted for up to 84% of the net increase in Russian LNG exports. In October, China received about 1.8 million tons. The main additional volume was provided by the Arctic LNG-2 project. Its shipments in January-October more than quadrupled, to 3.98 million tons compared to 0.93 million tons a year earlier.

China remains the main buyer of the project. At the same time, Yamal LNG remains the largest Russian export plant, sending about 16.23 million tons in ten months. The increase in supplies to Asia occurs against the background of a reduction in Chinese purchases of LNG from Qatar: in the months of January-September they decreased by 65.5%, while imports from Russia increased by 44.3%. However, it is still not possible to completely divert all exports to China.
