Oil and Gas Cooperation between China and Central Asia

Oil and gas resources are related to China's economic lifeline, but because of the limited geological resources, domestic production has been far from being able to meet consumer demand. In the future, with growing demand for oil and gas, its dependence on imports will continue to grow, foreign dependence on oil resources will increase continuously. As one of the resource-rich regions in the world that has not been fully developed, Central Asia's energy and mineral resources take a more and more important position in the world. China has the unique geopolitical advantage, as well as the wide range of configuration and complementarities with Central Asian countries on energy and petrochemical industrial structure. This paper mainly analyzed the oil and gas cooperation between China and Central Asia.
