    Tremendous economic growth has pushed China's domestic
capacity to its limits.  While China's per capita oil
consumption still trails behind those of Europe and the
U.S., A Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman, revealed in his
statement just last year, that energy has become the single
most important issue for China on the world stage.  Since
its entry in the WTO, China has evolved into an important
player that affects the international oil market. Relying
on its state-owned oil companies, China has assets and
interests in more than 20 countries, and has recently
overtaken Japan to settle in second place for the world's
biggest oil importer, after the U.S.

    China's Gas Pipelines and Storage industry is a rapidly
developing dynamic industry.  There are major projects that
have been planned or are already under construction such
West-East Pipelines, Russia-China Pipelines and many
provinces in China are speeding up their construction of
gas pipeline. 

    With this development, comes opportunity for both local
and foreign firms to be involved in this highly profitable
industry but there are also risks to minimize and pitfalls
to avoid.  China Oil/Gas Pipelines and Storage Summit 2006
will provide an excellent networking platform for local and
international oil and gas companies, pipeline operators,
technology & equipments providers and other industry
players to discuss the latest & future development
trends in this industry.
