Inexorable Tendency for China's Pipeline to Develop in West

Based on the comprehensive investigations of the eastern pipeline networks in China, the paper summarises the production status quo of some oilfields and the eastern pipelines. It analyzes the lowered throughput and shutdown in the pipeline production, and points out that China's future development of pipeline industry is to keep the production stable in the east part of the country and accelerate development in the west part of the country, and the tendency for China's pipeline to develop in the east is inexorable during the coming decade.
