In February 22nd, Jiangsu province development and Reform Commission, said in a news release, by CNOOC investment of about 12000000000 yuan, annual processing capacity of 3000000 tons of Jiangsu Binhai Yancheng LNG (liquefied natural gas) project has been formally submitted to the National Energy Bureau for the preliminary work carried out. It happens that there is a similar case. In February 23rd, the National Petroleum and chemical industry website reported, a total investment of about 7000000000 yuan a year CNOOC, receiving and processing capacity of 6000000 tons of LNG receiving station and was officially settled in Fujian Longhai gas transmission trunk line project.
These two projects will undoubtedly also for CNOOC "defend" the LNG "hegemony" status has added a bit of confidence, coupled with previously have been put into production and the construction of the LNG project, CNOOC has nearly 10 LNG projects in Chinas coastal city, marks the construction of coastal natural gas main artery of goals and forward a step forward.
LNG production and trade has become increasingly active
In recent years, an increasingly tense situation in energy, global LNG production and trade has become increasingly active. In the past ten years, world LNG trade grew at an average annual rate of more than 7%, average annual growth rate of more than 2.3% of world natural gas consumption, is becoming the new hot spots of world oil and gas industry.
LNG volume of the gaseous 1/600 only, compared to natural gas transportation pipeline, LNG is more flexible, greatly saves storage space and cost, all pipe to the place, LNG can have the market. Not only can solve the problem of gaseous natural gas long-distance transportation, can also help get rid of the importing country over reliance on adjacent energy powers.
With more and more natural gas is liquefied easily transported to all parts of the world, the rapid development of LNG industry has become an important complement to the supply of natural gas.
Industry experts predict, as Chinas natural gas consumption market unceasing expansion, "Twelfth Five Year Plan" period of Chinas natural gas demand is about 250000000000 square, while the domestic natural gas production in the 150000000000 or so, about 90000000000 of the gap must rely on imports of natural gas.
Imports of natural gas includes two parts mainly imports of liquefied natural gas and natural gas pipeline. According to release oil economy and Technology Research Institute data display, in 2011, Chinas natural gas imports reached a total of 31400000000 party, the 14400000000 party import pipeline gas, and import LNG1221 million tons, an increase of 31.3%, natural gas external dependency is close to 30%.
Although our country has made the plan of onshore natural gas pipeline, "1025" during the pipeline natural gas annual gas transmission capacity will increase greatly. But to meet the demand of 250000000000 party, liquefied natural gas will become an important force in natural gas imports.
Different from PetroChina and Sinopec, CNOOC has been focused on the exploitation of offshore oil, in recent years the business has gradually begun to land development. Because the land petroleum resource has been the top two oil giants "divided", but also in oil production more than 80% of the domestic natural gas, CNOOC can only choose LNG, coal and natural gas fields.
Has formed the upstream and downstream industry chain
Unlike Europe and other developed countries, Chinas construction of LNG receiving station starts late but develops rapidly. In 1995, commissioned by the former State Planning Commission, the research work of CNOOC led Guangdong introduction of LNG project.
By the end of 1999, the state formally approved the Guangdong LNG pilot project overall a period project, then opened the prelude to the introduction of the LNG China.
In June 28, 2006, the first phase of the project of CNOOC Guangdong Dapeng LNG project was officially put into operation, marking the China large-scale imports of LNG era.
As Chinas first introduce LNG domestic oil company after 10 years of development, LNG has become the industry leader.
Data shows, at present, CNOOC LNG project along the southeast coast of China has been holding basic layout, imports more than 20000000 tons / year. In 5 LNG projects have been put into operation in China, CNOOC occupy 3, another 6 projects are under construction or planned.
At the same time, CNOOC has gradually formed a relatively complete LNG related industrial chain, gas power plant, cold air, tank car logistics, Ding Ji, such as rubber cryogenic comminution projects have been put into operation or settled, with LNG fuel automobiles transportation industry has also been widely.
In 2020, according to the planning of CNOOC, company LNG, imports will increase to 30000000 tons.
Another source said the next five years, CNOOC will invest 10000000000 yuan to build 1000 LNG refueling stations, after completion, the annual consumption of LNG million tons.
CNOOC in 2012 working conference stressed, should firmly grasp the domestic LNG industry leading position, focus on the construction of LNG receiving station, continue to strengthen the regional, provincial network and provincial contact line construction, promotes the coastal natural gas large artery as soon as possible is conceived to be reality.
The personage inside course of study says, "Twelfth Five Year Plan" period, as the forerunner of Chinas LNG market, CNOOC will have force LNG industry, so as to ensure its leading position in the field of LNG, and efforts to make it become one of the pillar industry of the company.
The threshold reduces competition
Facing the future of domestic LNG huge market potential, CNOOC, PetroChina, Sinopec three companies are actively planning the construction of the project in the coastal city of LNG, in order to quickly overseas resources to domestic.
To alleviate the shortage of natural gas in our country at the same time, LNG field three competition trend is more obvious.
At present, the three major oil companies mainly aimed at Southern China, East China, Shandong three areas.
According to the reporter, natural gas production and operators as Chinas largest oil has the ability of independent design, independent, independent construction, independent procurement management of LNG project. In 2011, PetroChina Jiangsu Rudong and Liaoning Dalian two seat LNG
