The Guangdong LNG Project is the first pilot project in China for the importation of LNG. In order to relieve energy shortages in the south eastern coastal area of China, the State Council approved the proposal to import LNG into Guangdong Province as a pilot project in 1998. By the end of 1999, the project formally commenced. In 2003, the Feasibility Study Report for Guangdong LNG Project was endorsed by government. After international bidding, Guangdong LNG chose Northwest Shell Australia LNG Company Ltd. as the gas supplier and awarded it a 25 year contract securing an annual gas supply of 3.7 million tons. Since 2006, the LNG import facility received more than 48 million mt of the chilled fuel, Guangdong Dapeng LNG. The terminal received its first supply in 2009 from Qatar.
The operators of the project plan to build a phase II. Phase II of the terminal will expand the current capacity. This extension comprises mainly the fourth LNG tank as well as equipment and additional material associated. Total capacity upon the completion of Phase II will be about 12.0 million tons per year. The project is a joint venture of BP and CNOOC who both make up the Guangdong Dapeng LNG Company. CNOOC holds a 33% stake in Guangdong Dapeng LNG while BP is the second largest shareholder with a 30% interest.
