Construction of Arctic LNG project module completed in China

A ship carrying two key modules manufactured for Russia's Yamal liquefied natural gas (LNG) project left Qingdao Port in east China's Shandong Province on Wednesday. The last two module fabrications are heading for Russia.

With the 10,000-ton modules on board the ship, China has completed 36 key modules, with a total weight of 180,000 tons for the Sino-Russian joint venture project.

Located on the Russia's Yamal Peninsula, inside the Arctic Circle, the Yamal project is the world's largest natural gas development, liquefaction, transportation and sales project, with a designed annual output of 28 billion cubic meters. Once in operation, the project will send at least three million tons of LNG to China annually.

Projects like Yamal "introduce our technology and manufacturing capacity abroad and take back the products that China needs," said Jin Xiaojian, president of China Offshore Oil Engineering Co., LTD.
