World’s largest LNG storage tank cluster ready in China

The world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank cluster was completed in China’s Jiangsu province on Sunday, according to its operator China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC).

With a total storage capacity of 2.5 million cubic meters, the project, located in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, has a national production rate of 98.3 percent and is capable of supplying gas to 10 million households for eight months, he said.

In recent years, China’s LNG industry has developed rapidly, forming a complete industrial chain that includes production, storage, transportation and comprehensive utilization. LNG receiving stations constitute an essential link in the LNG industrial chain.

Since the completion of the first domestic LNG receiving station in 2006, China has built 28 LNG receiving stations with an annual receiving capacity of more than 116 million tons, ranking it among the best in the world.
