The joint venture between the national oil companies China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC or PetroChina) and the local KazMunaiGas (KMZ) is working on a second crude oil export pipeline from Kazakhstan to China.
As the existing pipeline, the new one would connect Atyrau on the coast of the Caspian Sea, eastern Kazakhstan, to the Chinese boarder at the city of Alashankou in the Dushanzi District of the Xinjiang Province in China.

The Geopolitics of Oil Pipelines in Central Asia
by James Fishelson
Kazakhstan has received much press recently as a result of the success of the comic film Borat. However, that movie got everything wrong in its depiction of Kazakhstan, with the exception of two things. The first is that the country is in a regional conflict with Uzbekistan. The second is the prevalence of prostitutes, which are everywhere in Kazakhstan. The country has become a target for immigrants practicing the profession, with women, girls, and even a few men flowing in from neighboring countries and farther abroad.[1] Since the 1979 discovery of the Tengiz field, a massive oil source under the North Caspian Sea,[2] and especially after the full-scale exploitation of that field and others during the post-Soviet era, Kazakhstan’s economy is booming and its citizens, in a frenzy of capitalism, are spending the influx of money liberally.
