Shanghai LNG celebrates Yangshan terminal expansion milestone

28 Nov 2019

With new gasification facilities now in operation, doubling the gasification capacity of Yangshan LNG terminal, Shanghai citizens are ensured a cosy winter… and Tractebel an even warmer welcome.

At the recent inauguration of the Yangshan LNG terminal’s new gasification facilities, our client, Shanghai LNG, had good reason to mark the occasion. As Shanghai’s main source of natural gas supply, the doubling of the terminal’s hourly export capacity, from 1.04 million to 2.14 million cubic meters, the city’s winter gas consumption is now more strongly guaranteed. An important objective of this major expansion project on which Tractebel is providing Project Management Consulting services and technical expert back-up.

Begun in 2017 and expected to complete in 2020 with the construction of two new build LNG storage tanks of 200,000m³/each, the project will also greatly enhance the safety reserve capacity of Shanghai natural gas. With the challenge of such projects being a need for highly experienced planning and management of expansion works in terminals which must remain operational during new construction, it’s also likely to enhance Tractebel’s reputation for large LNG terminal expansion expertise in this region.

For Tractebel LNG experts, who first proved their worth in China on the Shanghai Wuhaogou LNG terminal expansion in Pudong (2013 – 2016), the Yangshan contract, is also a milestone. But as we like to say; there’s room for expansion yet.

 

The success of Wuhaogou and Yangshan expansion shows our LNG experience and strengthens the professional relationship between Shenergy and Tractebel, which creates opportunity for collaboration on future energy transition projects in Shanghai and across China,” said Geert Wambacq, project manager based in Shanghai since 2015.
