My comment: This Chinese report is no English counterpart in VOA. And there is no English-language news report in this regard, either, except
What Russian Papers Say: Russian Press - Behind the Headlines, March 18. Ria Novosti, Mar 18, 2011.

(b) Comparison of VOA and Kommersant shows:
"Kosmino is a Russian port located near Nakhodka and close to Russia's borders with China and North Korea, on the coast of the Sea of Japan.
"Kozmino is the terminal point of the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Meridian pipeline. With the opening of its terminal on December 28, 2009, the port of Kozmino instantly became Russia’s third-most important oil outlet

My comment:
(a) Japanese surnames Inagaki and Sekiguchi are 稲垣 and 関口, respectively.
(b) Take a look at the pie chart and read the first two paragraphs. That is enough.
(2) Russia to Double Oil Supply to Quake-Hit Japan in 2011 - Sechin. Ria Novosti, Mar 22, 2011.

("Russia plans to double oil exports to Japan to 18 million metric tons and increase oil product supply by 28.5% to 4.5 million tons in 2011 to help the country recover from a devastating earthquake and tsunami, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin")

Quote:
"Yet it may well be that President Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin are actually laying the groundwork for focusing on Russia's real long-term adversary: China.
"China's net imports of petroleum will more than quadruple by 2035, according to some estimates, to 14 million barrels per day; meanwhile, 65% of Russia's prospective petroleum reserves are located just north of China, in Siberia, along with 85% of the country's natural gas reserves.
Note:
(a) In quotation 2, note the word "reserve." For the present, oil and gas production at its Far East is small in Russia as a whole.
(b) I did not see this opinion piece in US edition. I therefore assume it appears in Asia Wall Street Journal.
As for the venue to settle a dispute: Parties to a contract (the agreement between Russia and China is a contract) may stipute the venue (where and what: in the latter: a court or arbitration) when a contract is signed. For example, you may have signed a similar contract with your credit card issuer (bank) about venue and law of the state that decides the dispute.
