The huge price difference between Saudi Arabian crude oil and Russian crude oil has propelled Russia to become China's largest source of crude oil imports after April this year. The price of Saudi crude oil has increased from less than $80 per barrel in January to $117 per barrel in June, while the price of Russian crude oil has dropped from $102 per barrel in January to the current $80 per barrel, with the opposite trend in price.

In the first half of this year, China imported 303 million barrels of crude oil from Russia, with a total trade volume of 28.15 billion US dollars. Unlike other major oil exporting countries in the world, Russia can transport crude oil to China through two oil pipelines, namely the Central and Far East, or sea freight to China through ports in the Far East.

The Central China Russia Oil Pipeline enters Xinjiang via Dzungarian Gate, with a design capacity of 20 million tons/year (about 400000 barrels/day). The Far East Pipeline directly enters Northeast China, with a design capacity of 35 million tons/year (about 700000 barrels/day). The total transport capacity of the two pipelines is 1.1 million barrels/day.
