On September 26, 2021, the CNPC Jiangsu LNG Terminal Expansion (Phase III) project in Rudong County, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province was officially put into operation. Two 200,000 cubic meters of storage tanks T-1205 and T-1206 were used to transport natural gas. After the project is put into operation, the storage capacity of Jiangsu LNG receiving station will be increased by 60%, which can provide 250 million cubic meters of natural gas for peak gas consumption this winter and next spring, making it the first 10 million-ton LNG receiving base in the Yangtze River Delta.

The Jiangsu LNG Terminal Expansion (Phase III) project is a key project in the construction of the national natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system and the construction of a coastal 10 million-ton LNG receiving base in the Jiangsu Energy Development Plan. It is also a key project for PetroChina to implement Xi Jinping’s Chinese characteristics in the new era. Socialist ideology, based on the new development stage, implements the new development concept, builds a new development pattern, and builds a green tool for the happiness of the motherland and the people.

Said Lu Guofeng, general manager of PetroChina Jiangsu Liquefied Natural Gas Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiangsu LNG Company"). After the project is completed and put into operation, the LNG storage capacity of the receiving station will increase to 1.08 million cubic meters, which will further enhance the OBOR overseas gas source receiving and storage, natural gas supply and peak shaving capacity, which is of great significance to help achieve the "dual carbon" goal.

During the project construction period, under the guidance of China National Petroleum and Natural Gas Sales Branch, Jiangsu LNG always followed the "Four Revolutions and One Cooperation" energy security strategy proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping as the guide, and insisted on "Laying the foundation in one year and seeing each other in two years." The principle of “effectiveness and success in three years”, with the goal of continuously building national-quality projects, optimizing design and construction, innovating management models, focusing on improving quality and efficiency, strengthening safety management and control, resolutely overcoming the impact of the epidemic, and going all out to ensure the safety and construction of the project. Put into production on schedule. The project started in November 2018, and the storage tanks will be ready for production at the end of July 2021. The construction period will be shortened by about half a year compared to the first and second phases. Keywords: engineering news, engineering construction information

As the first LNG terminal of PetroChina, the Jiangsu LNG terminal has received and unloaded a total of 483 ships of 39 million tons of LNG in 25 countries and regions including Russia, Asia, Australia, and Qatar since it was put into operation 10 years ago, supplying 58 billion cubic meters of natural gas to the Yangtze River Delta and surrounding areas. Rice has played an important role in building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system for the country, ensuring and improving people’s lives and social and economic development in the Yangtze River Delta.
