Background

Shantou LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in Guangdong, China.[1]

A binding agreement was signed in 2011 for Australia’s Icon Energy to supply China’s Shantou Sinogas Energy with LNG over 20 years beginning in 2016. SinoEnergy proposed a LNG terminal on Nan’ao Island with a receiving capacity of 3 mtpa.[2] Both parties have extended the completion deadline for a gas sales agreement between the two companies until June 2018.[3]

As of July 2019 there has been no further news about the project and it appears to be cancelled.
