Cnooc's Shenzhen Terminal Passes Milestone

Cnooc Gas and Power’s Shenzhen LNG terminal in Guangdong province has unloaded over 1mn metric tons of LNG since it became operational little over a year ago, the company said November 1.

The terminal started commercial operations in August last year with the arrival of cargo from Qatar. Shenzhen LNG terminal has a capacity of 4mn mt/yr and supplies to Shenzhen and other areas of north China. It was originally scheduled to come online in 2015.

Cnooc Gas and Power, a unit of state-owned Cnooc, now operates nine LNG import terminals at Tianjin, Shanghai, Ningbo, Putian, Yuedong, Dapeng, Zhuhai, Hainan and Shenzhen.
