Yantai LNG Receiving Terminal's EPC Contract Signed Successfully

October 22nd 2020
Yantai LNG terminal project owner Shandong Poly-GCL Pan-Asia International Energy Co., Ltd. (“Yantai LNG”) has awarded both China Tianchen—a subsidiary of China National Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd.—and Harbin Electric Group the EPC contract for the development of the Yantai LNG terminal in Shandong Province, China.

The Yantai LNG terminal was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission of China on January 9, 2020. With strong support from industry leaders and government at all levels, Yantai LNG overcame numerous obstacles caused by the Covid-19 pandemic to start construction in April and finish EPC tendering by October 19. China Tianchen and Harbin Electric Group faced fierce competition to win this project.

H. Sterling Group Pte. Ltd., as a Yantai LNG partner, attended the signing ceremony with GCL Natural Gas Group and the Yantai Development Zone Management Committee. Construction of the Yantai LNG terminal has now been fast-tracked for completion, achieving a key milestone in the project’s development.

​China Tianchen (China Tianchen Engineering Co., Ltd.) has a successful engineering track record in 30 countries around the world, providing engineering design services across 21 different industries, including petroleum, chemicals, and natural gas. China Tianchen boasts LNG infrastructure construction experience with its previous involvement in the Zhuhai LNG receiving terminal.

The Yantai LNG terminal is located in West Yantai Port, Shandong Province, China. Phase I of the Yantai LNG terminal was approved in January 2020 to receive 5.9 million metric tons per year of LNG (mtpa) and will commence operations in 2023. The terminal boasts an LNG-dedicated harbor and waterway. Phase II capacity will reach 10 mtpa by 2025, and the terminal is directed by government policy to eventually expand to 40 mtpa. A 530-kilometer, 48-inch pipeline originating at the Yantai LNG terminal will deliver gas to industry, power, and city gas networks across Shandong Province, serving a population of 50 million.


The Yantai LNG terminal boasts the largest LNG storage capacity in China to date, with over 1 million cubic meters of storage to be built in Phase I alone. Significant added LNG storage and supply capacity will transform the demand and supply profiles of natural gas in the province, allowing for more flexible distribution and peak shaving. The Yantai LNG terminal will be developed into an open platform available to all upstream suppliers and downstream end users, providing door-to-door energy distribution services and driving the energy transition in Shandong

ADNOC’s Sour Gas Hail, Ghasha and Dalma Project Takes Critical Next Step

January 9, 2018 The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) awarded the two Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contracts for ADNOC’s planned offshore ultra-sour gas mega project, which consists of the Hail, Ghasha and Dalma fields . Bechtel (UK) was awarded Hail & Ghasha FEED Contract and TechnipFMC (UAE) was awarded Dalma FEED Contract. In man-hours, the two FEED contracts, collectively, are the largest awarded by an oil and gas company, underpinning the criticality of a detailed FEED phase to optimize project cost and schedule. The project, in the northwest offshore area of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, could meet 20 percent of the UAE’s gas demand by the second half of the next decade. H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and ADNOC Group CEO, said: “The growth in energy demand in Abu Dhabi, and the wider UAE, has prompted ADNOC to further harness its gas resources, as part of its 2030 smart growth strategy. This FEED award provides ADNOC with the potential to unlock
