Chinese independent Poly-GCL and Djibouti have agreed on plans for a cross-country pipeline to move carry gas to a floating liquefaction plant that the company aims to build to export Ethiopian gas to China.
Poly-GCL chairman Zhu Gongshan told Chinese press last week that the agreement will pave the way for construction start-up by the end of this year.
The 749-kilometre pipeline will start at the long dormant Calub gas field in Ethipia's Ogaden basin and will run for 663 kilometres in Ethiopia and 86 kilometres in Djibouti.
