Sichuan-Shanghai Gas Pipeline 川气东送输气管线, also known as the Sichuan–East Gas Pipeline, is an operating natural gas pipeline.

Location

The pipeline runs from Puguang gas field in Dazhou, Sichuan Province, to Qingpu District of Shanghai. In its initial proposal, there was one major branch that connects Yichang in Hubei with Puyang in Henan Province and 3 other branches. But when the pipeline finally went operation in 2010, the major branch reaching Puyang was not included.

The main source of gas supply for the Sichuan-to-Eastern China Gas Pipeline trunk line includes onshore gas sources such as China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation's Puguang Gas Field, Fuling Shale Gas, Yuanba Gas Field, and the Shanghai Yangshan Port LNG receiving terminal.

Background

The Sichuan-East Gas Pipeline passes through 8 provinces of Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The total length of the pipeline is about 2,270 kilometers, including 1 main line, 1 dedicated line (Dahua dedicated line), and 4 branch lines (Chuanwei branch, Jiangxi branch, Wuhan Petrochemical branch, Nanjing branch). There are 1 control center, 2 gas storages, 35 stations and 101 valve chambers across the line.

The pipeline is operated by Sinopec and was wholly owned by Sinopec until 2016, when it sold 43.86% to China Life Insurance Co. for 20 billion yuan (US$2.9 billion) and 6.14% to State Development & Investment Corp for 2.8 billion yuan (US$400 million). “There is a shortage of pipeline capacity and gas storage facilities in China, so the government is encouraging more investment in those sectors,” Tian Miao, a Beijing-based analyst at North Square Blue Oak Ltd.

The pipe diameter is Φ1016mm. The designed pressure is 10MPa, and the designed transmission capacity is 12 billion cubic meters per year

Construction of the first 1360-km (845-mi) section of the pipeline, from Yichang in Hubei Province to Shanghai, started on 22 May 2007 and was completed in March 2010. The tunnel to cross Yangtze River was completed in October 2007. The tunnel is about 20m beneath the riverbed and connects two wells on each side of the river.

The pipeline officially started construction on August 31, 2007, and started trial operation in stages on February 19, 2009, and was fully put into commercial operation on August 31, 2010.

Pipeline explosion

At around 6:30pm on July 20, 2016, the "Sichuan-Shanghai Gas Pipeline" exploded and burned in Shuitianba Village and Gonglongba Village, Cuijiaba Town, Enshi City, Hubei Province. The torrential rain caused landslide, ruptured the Gas Pipeline, resulting in deflagration and mushroom cloud formation. Two people were killed and three were injured.
