The China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline officially began transporting crude oil to China on May 25, marking a historic milestone in energy cooperation between the two countries. At around 3:10 a.m. Beijing Time, the first batch of oil arrived at the metering station in Alashankou, Xinjiang, China. This event marked the first time China successfully imported crude oil from overseas through an underground pipeline, enhancing its energy security and diversifying supply routes.
According to available information, the pipeline supplies 50% of its crude oil from the Zhanqiao and Aktobe fields in Kazakhstan, with the remaining 50% coming from Russian oil fields in the Caspian Sea region. The pipeline, which spans 962.2 kilometers, was fully activated on May 23 at 7:32 p.m. when the No. 40 valve was officially opened.
Yin Juntai, deputy general manager of China National Petroleum Exploration and Development Corporation, emphasized that the pipeline's operation not only ensures a safe and stable supply of oil for China but also opens up new export opportunities for Kazakhstan and Russia. Kappelkin, vice president of Kazakhstan’s oil and gas pipeline company, highlighted the project as a significant example of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two nations.
The Sino-Kazakhstan pipeline, which started construction in September 2004 and was completed in November 2005, stretches from Atasu in western Kazakhstan to Alashankou in eastern China. With a designed annual capacity of 20 million tons, it is a key infrastructure project that reflects the growing economic ties between China and Central Asia. Initially, the pipeline will transport 10 million tons of oil per year, increasing to 20 million tons by 2010. Kazakhstan and Russia each contribute 50% of the oil supply.
In addition, a 252-kilometer pipeline connecting Alashankou to Dushanzi in Xinjiang has been fully connected, allowing seamless integration into the Sino-Kazakhstan pipeline system. In Dushanzi, China is constructing a major refinery and ethylene plant, with a total investment of 27.2 billion yuan. The facility is expected to be completed by 2008, further strengthening the region’s energy infrastructure and industrial development.

The integration of the truss
mechanical arm and lathe bed enhances the compactness and aesthetic
appeal of the machine tool, enabling more stable and efficient automated
production. Each standard machine
tool is equipped with interfaces for truss automation, including
columns, protective features, and electrical components, which
facilitate easy installation of automation systems at a later stage. By
mounting the truss column onto the lathe bed, a stable integration is
achieved, unaffected by variations in the foundation or any
displacements. The planning and
design of the system incorporate a low truss height, a low center of
gravity, and ensure smooth and stable operation.
