Background
West Guangdong LNG Terminal was a proposed 3 mtpa LNG import terminal in Guangdong, China. A preliminary work plan by CNOOC was agreed to in 2014, and operation was planned for 2017. [8]
On January 18, 2016, the Maoming Municipal Government Work Report proposed advancing the land reclamation construction for the project.[9]
In 2018 the project was reported to be suspended.[10]
In February 2019 a feasibility study to build the terminal was prepared by GCL-Poly and China International Engineering Consulting Co.[11]
In October 2019 PetroChina and Maoming Municipal Government signed an agreement to build the LNG terminal with an estimated completion date of 2023.[12]
In June 2020, PetroChina, Maoming Municipal Government, GCL-Poly group and Maoming Port Group jointly signed a framework agreement for investment cooperation in the West Guangdong LNG Terminal.[13]
The land reclamation for LNG terminal completed in 2020.[14]
A framework agreement for investment cooperation was signed by Guangzhou Gas Group, GCL-Poly Holdings and Maoming Port Group in August 2022. A venture company by the three parties, Maoming Bohe LNG Co., Ltd. （茂名博贺液化天然气有限公司）, was formed to work on West Guangdong LNG Terminal. [15][16]
The project was listed into Guangdong 14th Five-Year-Plan for Energy Sector (2021-2025) in March 2022 as a "争取开工（try to make the construction happen）" project.[17]
In January 2025, GCL is purchasing shares of the LNG company, in order to continue developing the project.[18]
On March 16, 2026, the Maoming Development and Reform Work Meeting proposed continuing to advance the project during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.[19]
