Jereh Group Completes China's First Shale Gas Liquefaction Plant

Jereh Group has successfully finished China's first shale gas liquefaction plant in Sichuan, the Yantai based company said Sunday.

The plant will have a capacity of 2,470,000 cubic feet of LNG per day (2.47MMSCFD) in the first phase and the second phase capability will go up to 10,590,000 cf/d (10.59MMSCFD).

Work on the second phase will start this month, the company said.

The plant is located at Junlian County in Sichuan Province, covering an area of 718,000 sq ft.  In 2014, the shale gas production in Junlian stood at 3,530,000 cf per day, the company said.

"We believe this project will drive Jereh to step out for more LNG projects worldwide. Jereh modularized Mini LNG project with production size from 200,000 to 11,200,000 cf per day ensures onsite quick construction and better cost advantage," said Yang Zhiguo, Jereh General Manager. "For example, In Southeast Asia, the LNG development focuses on small, mid-scale LNG projects especially in Indonesia as it has small untapped stranded gas resources.”
