China’s Cnooc Gas and Power, a unit of state-owned Cnooc, October 29 completed the work on a 1.2-km pipeline to connect the Shenzhen LNG terminal with Dapeng terminal, the company said the same day.
The pipeline will help 4mn mt/yr Shenzhen terminal to increase gas supply by about 15mn m3/d during winter season to northern China. Cnooc Gas and Power is also working on a 1.7-km pipeline that will connect Shenzhen terminal to PetroChina’s peak-shaving LNG supply station. Once the project is complete by end-October 2019, gas supplies to northern China can be increased by further 30mn m3/d, the company said. Shenzhen LNG terminal commenced commercial operations with the arrival of first cargo from Qatar August 1.
Earlier this year, Dapeng terminal hit a milestone of unloading and regasifying over 60mn mt of LNG since start of operations in 2006. Dapeng is the first import terminal to be built in China. Its present capacity is 7.7mn mt/yr and the terminal is supplying 45mn m3/d of gas to cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huizhou, Dongguan, Foshan and Hong Kong through the 441 km pipeline. The terminal is located in Shenzhen at Chengtoujiao, Dapeng Bay, Guangdong province and receives LNG from Australia and Qatar.
