Cnooc Starts Trails at Fangchenggang LNG Facility
Cnooc Gas and Power January 15 said it has started trail operations at its Fangchenggang LNG facility in Guangxi autonomous region in southern China, bordering Vietnam.
The Fangchenggang terminal is a small facility with 0.6mn mt/yr of LNG receiving capacity. It will not be equipped with regasification facilities and LNG recived by coastal tanker will be further distributed by LNG trucks. Cnooc Gas and Power said it is also looking to distribute LNG by rail. It has two 30,000 m3 storage tanks, a 50,000- metric ton liquid chemical terminal and supporting facilities.
In addition to the Fangchenggang LNG facility, Cnooc Gas and Power, a unit of Cnooc, operates nine LNG regasification terminals at Tianjin, Shanghai, Ningbo, Putian, Yuedong, Dapeng, Zhuhai, Hainan and Shenzhen - most of which are part-owned by others. The company has started work on its 10th regasification terminal.
