• The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration recently issued the 15th Five Year Plan for the development of oil and gas, which clearly outlines the relevant arrangements for Xinjiang in multiple places. The plan includes the Tarim, Junggar, and Qaidam basins as national level oil and gas strategic support bases, promoting the construction of the Hami coal to oil and gas base in Zhundong, and initiating the construction of export channels such as the West East Gas Pipeline Fourth and Fifth Lines.
