CNPC to build LNG receiving station in Shenzhen
Beijing-located energy titan China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) lately started building a LNG (liquefied
natural gas) receiving station in the Dachan Bay Terminal, Shenzhen City, south China.
Co-founded by CNPC, CLP Holdings and Shenzhen Gas Corporation, the station will receive the LNG transported through
the West-East Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline and then serve the LNG consumers in Guangdong Province and Hong Kong.
Upon the framework agreement, CNPC, CLP Holdings, and Shenzhen Gas Corporation separately hold 51 %, 24.5 %, and 24.5

stations.

ground in the southern Chinese town of Guanlan, Shenzhen, with a total investment of about CNY 93 bn. The east
section, which is 2,472 km long, starts from the south-western Chinese province of Gansu to Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
