Cnooc's Tianjin Terminal Expands Truck Loading Capacity
Cnooc Gas and Power October 23 completed the project to expand the truck loading capacity of its Tianjin LNG receiving terminal located in the northern Chinese prefecture of Tianjin, it said October 24.
The terminal’s loading capacity will increase from 400 trucks/day to 600 trucks/day which will help in increasing supply of gas to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Cnooc Gas and Power said.
Cnooc Gas and Power, a unit of state-owned Cnooc, is also building additional tanks at Tianjin. It will build six 220,000 m3 LNG storage tanks, 12 gasifiers, 12 high-pressure pumps and three low-temperature compressors and ancillary facilities, the company said in May. The work is expected to commence by year-end. The project will be partially operational in 2021 and will be fully ready in 2022, Cnooc Gas and Power said.
The company believes in the coming years, gas demand in northern China will rise significantly and existing capacity of Tianjin LNG terminal is not sufficient to meet the demand of the region.
