Cnooc's Tianjin Terminal Processes Record LNG
Cnooc Gas and Power’s Tianjin LNG terminal processed record volumes of LNG January 9, the company said January 15.
The terminal, located in Tianjin prefecture in northeastern China, processed 28,700 metric tons of LNG on January 9, setting a new daily record. Cnooc Gas and Power said that the terminal has processed in excess of 25,000 mt of LNG in the last six days due to strong gas demand in northern China where temperatures have consistently been well below normal. Since the start of 2019, Tianjin terminal has unloaded 198,000 mt of LNG, Cnooc Gas and Power added.
Cnooc Gas and Power, a unit of state-owned Cnooc, is also 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. 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.
