Cnooc's Tianjin Terminal Supplies Over 1mn mt LNG via Trucks
Cnooc Gas and Power’s Tianjin LNG import terminal has supplied over 1mn metric tons of LNG via trucks since the start of the year, the company said June 28.
Last year, Cnooc Gas and Power completed the project to expand the truck loading capacity of Tianjin LNG receiving terminal located in the northern Chinese prefecture of Tianjin. The terminal’s loading capacity increased from 400 trucks/day to 600 trucks/day which will help in increasing supply of gas to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Eleven loading stations were added to the existing 20, the company said in October. Recently, the terminal set a record of loading 596 trucks in a day, Cnooc Gas and Power said.
Cnooc Gas and Power, a subsidiary of state-owned Cnooc, is 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 last year. The project will be partially operational in 2021 and will be fully ready in 2022. Tianjin terminal is expected to have 7.25mn mt/yr LNG processing capacity by 2030, up for 3.21mn mt/yr in 2018.
