State-owned China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) has completed more than 100,000 truck loading operations at its Binhai LNG import terminal in Jiangsu since October 2022.
According to a statement by CNOOC Gas & Power, a total of 2.1 million tons of LNG, equivalent to about 3 billion cubic meters of natural gas, was loaded into tanker trucks at the Yancheng “green energy port”, enhancing the Yangtze River Delta region’s energy supply.
Also, the LNG supplies were delivered to the provinces of Jiangsu, Henan, Anhui, Shandong, and Zhejiang, it said.
The Binhai LNG terminal located in Yancheng Binhai Port Industrial Park completed its first truck loading operation on October 21, 2022.
CNOOC’s unit did not provide the number of the terminal’s truck loading bays and the yearly capacity. The image above shows at least 12 trucks loading LNG.
LNG producer Qatargas, now QatarEnergy LNG, delivered the first LNG cargo to the Binhai LNG terminal on September 26, 2022.
CNOOC Gas & Power said the LNG terminal has up to date received 65 LNG ships, while the LNG volume has exceeded 4.2 million tons.
