Cnooc's Zhuhai Terminal Focuses on LNG Supply by Trucks

Cnooc Gas and Power’s Zhuhai LNG import terminal in Guangdong province has supplied 1 million metric ton of LNG by truck during January 1-November 15 period, the company said November 19.

In China, LNG trucking has played an important role in meeting gas demand in areas where pipeline coverage is limited. Cnooc Gas and Power, a unit of state-owned Cnooc, has been focusing on expanding its truck loading capacity at its LNG receiving terminals.

Earlier this month Cnooc Gas and Power said it has increased the truck loading capacity at Ningbo LNG terminal, located near the city of Ningbo in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang. In October, the company completed the project to expand the truck loading capacity of its Tianjin LNG receiving terminal located in the northern Chinese prefecture of Tianjin.

Cnooc Gas and Power operates nine LNG import terminals at Tianjin, Shanghai, Ningbo, Putian, Yuedong, Dapeng, Zhuhai, Hainan and Shenzhen. The company has started work  on its 10th terminal.
