Feasibility study on peaking and gas storage capacity construction of LNG tank containers in Liaoning Province

Strengthening capacity building of gas storage and peaking regulation is an important part of promoting the construction of natural gas production, supply, storage and sales system. As soon as possible, the formation of the gas storage capacity which is adapted to the domestic consumption demand and the formation of a perfect peak regulation and emergency mechanism are the necessary requirements for ensuring the stable supply of natural gas, increasing the proportion of natural gas in the primary energy consumption, promoting the energy production and consumption revolution in China, and building a clean, low carbon, safe and efficient energy system. The field survey and investigation of gas pipeline network length, gas storage capacity and gas management enterprises in Liaoning Province have been done. Gas consumption data from 14 cities in Liaoning Province has been collected. Combined with the use of natural gas in Liaoning Province during the 12th Five-Year Plan period as well as comparison of peaking and storage facilities of natural gas, the results show that natural gas from the production side, the supply side and the demand side in Liaoning Province has formed a more complete natural gas industry chain through the long transmission pipeline, gas field stations and pressure grade pipelines. It is feasible to build the LNG tank container gas storage facility considering of technical, safety and advancement. The preliminary plan and future prospect of the implementation of LNG tank container construction and storage capacity in Liaoning Province are put forward.
