In today's international energy market,taking energy cooperation without the help of the international organization is imposible.Among the member countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,there are both energy-resource countries and energy-consumption countries. Energy cooperation is not only a linking-up point for economic cooperation of all member countries,but an important way to strengthen the vitality and cohesion of the organization. At present,while the forming of the energy club of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is still in the coordination stage,its forming and development have a fine perspective.Given that the region includes the two most populous countries of the world, which are seeing rapid economic expansion, as well as other fast-growing developing economies, the energy needs of the region are projected to increase manifold within the next few years.While the oil and gas sectors of Russia and Iran are relatively developed and well-maintained, the Central Asian Republics are not in a position to develop untapped reservoirs of energy on their own. They need foreign capital, technology and expertise on a large scale. Unless the relatively well-equipped countries of the region, such as China and Russia, move forward and help them in exploiting these resources, the way will be paved for the involvement of countries from outside the region, which should not be taken as a simple economic phenomenon. Its strategic implications would be far-reaching.Nearly 30 years,Chinese rapid economic development cause the huge demand for energy.The dependence for resources from Economic development is more and more big.By 2002,China has becamed the second largest oil consumer after U.S.A in the world.The dependence of economic development on oil and gas was higher and higher.Worthwhile,because of the domestic oil production capacity constraints, oil security problem has becamed the core of Chinese energy problems. The established of energy club of Shanghai cooperation organization brought new opportunities of development and new situation for Chinese energy diplomacyHowever, The establishment of sco energy club doesn't mean completely solve the energy security of all the member countries.In the process of the construction and development,itself is drived Inevitably by the strategic interests and economic interests.
