Since the first section was opened at the end of July, the Shanxi-Hebei section has been supplying about 100 million cubic meters of natural gas to Hebei. Analysts said that the completion will further ensure the country's stable gas supply during winter and spring, as well as adjusting China's overall energy structure.

The whole pipeline spans three Chinese provinces including Northwest China's Shannxi Province, Shanxi and Hebei, with the length of 622.98 kilometers. After the full completion, natural gas from eastern Shaanxi and western Shanxi can be delivered to thousands of households and industrial clusters in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, as well as Xiongan New Area, south of Beijing.

The pipeline may also be connected to the Tianjin liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal to achieve a dual gas complementary, which will contribute to the regional peak and supply security, as well as providing safe, low-carbon and efficient clean energy for northern China.
