Start-up Year: April 2011
The Dalian LNG Project is an LNG project taken place in China by CNPC. LNG dock and terminal are located in Nianyu Bay at the coast of Dalian City, Liaoning Province. The project consists of a dock, a receiving terminal and gas pipelines, with a total investment over RMB 10 billion. The proposed dock will provide berths for LNG carriers in the size of 80,000-200,000m3 with an annual unloading capacity up to 7.45 million metric tons. The proposed terminals have a floor space of 24 hectares, and will be constructed in two stages. Expected to be operational in early 2011, the Phase I project is designed for processing three million metric tons of LNG and delivering 4.2 billion cubic metres of natural gas every year. The Phase II project is designed for processing six million metric tons of LNG and delivering 8.4 billion cubic metres of natural gas every year. The gas pipelines comprise a trunk and two branches. The trunk runs 389 kilometers, with a designed pressure of 10MPa and a maximum annual delivery capacity of 5.5 billion cubic metres. The land-formation construction of the Dalian LNG Project commenced in June 2007. Since April 2008, when the construction engineering started, the dock and terminal works had been making steady progress. In 2009, a joint venture company was established. Construction of the receiving terminals and dock was completed in December 2010. The whole project started operation in April 2011.
