On December 5, Zhongwei-Huangpi trunk line of the eastern segment of the Second West-East Gas Pipeline became operational ahead of schedule. Gas imported from Turkmenistan began to be distributed to Hubei and Hunan provinces. This is of great significance to ease gas supply shortage, promote low-carbon development, and improve living condition in the region.
