Background

Tangshan LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Hebei, China.

Phase I construction of the Tangshan LNG Terminal was completed in 2013 with four 160,000 cubic meter storage tanks and a receiving capacity of 3.5 mtpa. Phase II is planned to increase receiving capacity to 10 mpta. LNG from the terminal is sent to the Hebei province, Beijing, and Tianjin. One LNG delivery was delayed in December of 2015 due to technical and operational issues at the Caofeidian [Tangshan] terminal and pipeline gas network, then diverted to PetroChina’s Dalian terminal. In May 2016 it was reported that Kunlun Energy, a Hong Kong unit of CNPC, was looking to buy the Tangshan LNG terminal from its parent company CNPC.
