Qatargas Delivers Cargo to China’s New LNG Terminal

Qatargas delivered the first commissioning cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to China's new Tangshan LNG terminal on November 15, the company said yesterday.

Chinafaces possible supply shortages as the coldest months of December and January draw near, according to its top planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission.

It usually takes more than one cargo to commission an LNG terminal, but the delivery of the first suggests it should be ready to boost China's gas supply security this winter.

"The commissioning of PetroChina's Tangshan Caofeidian LNG terminal will help meet the growing demand," Khalid Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the Qatargas Chief Executive, said in a statement.

Qatargas also delivered the first commissioning cargo to China's new Zhuhai LNG terminal on October 24.
