PetroChina's Jiangsu Terminal Hits Milestone
State-owned PetroChina’s Jiangsu LNG receiving terminal has received 25mn metric tons of LNG since it became operational in 2011, CNPC, PetroChina’s parent company, said March 18.
PetroChina operates three LNG import terminals - Jiangsu, Tangshan and Dalian. The Jiangsu terminal is located in Jiangsu province; Tangshan terminal is in Hebei province and Dalian in Liaoning province.
CNPC said that the third phase expansion of the terminal is underway. Two new 200,000 m3 storage tanks will be built, along with related infrastructure. At present the terminal has handling capacity of 6.5mn mt/year. Once the third phase is complete, the terminal will have three 160,000 m3 and three 200,000 m3 LNG storage tanks. The total tank capacity will increase from the current 680,000 m3 to 1.08mn m3. The work is expected to be complete by 2020, CNPC said.
Last year, Jiangsu terminal received 6.5mn mt of LNG.
