Editing PipeChina apos;s Natural Gas Pipelines Storage Facilities

<br>By Muyu Xu and Chen Aizhu BEIJING/SINGAPORE, Aug 10 (Reuters) - China's newly established pipeline operator, PipeChina, is expected to start official operations in late September after taking over a trunk of midstream energy assets from national oil companies valued at $56 billion. PipeChina is expected to help reduce and deregulate natural gas prices and increase connectivity within China's gas pipeline network amid Beijing's push to improve gas consumption. According to the spin-off plans revealed last month, PipeChina, known formally as China Oil and Gas Pipeline Network, will take over a bulk of trunk oil and gas transmission pipelines, as well as a portion of gas storage facilities and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals from PetroChina and Sinopec.<br><br>Here is a breakdown of some trunk natural gas pipelines, gas storages and LNG terminals that are scheduled to transfer to PipeChina from the national oil companies. Oil infrastructures are not included in this factbox. Information is gathered from official websites of PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC, and stock exchange filings.<br><br>PetroChina and Sinopec declined to give further comments on its assets beyond their stock exchange filings on July 23.
