Background

Wuhaogou is a LNG storage facility in Shanghai, China. The facility began operating in 1996 as the emergency back-up gas source for Shanghai. After a major expansion in 2008, it also has capacity to import 0.5 mtpa of LNG. The facility is owned by Shanghai Gas Co., Ltd.[6]

In 2013, the second phase of the LNG terminal began construction. It was completed and started operating in 2017. It includes two storage tanks woth 100,000 cubic meters each. [7]The total LNG import capacity is 1.5 mtpa.[8]

上海燃气(集团)有限公司,站址位于上海浦东新区曹路镇五号沟。如图,有5座LNG储罐,规模分别为:1座2万立方米、2座5万立方米、2座10万立方米。有一座5万吨级LNG专用码头,6车位槽车装车车间。

应急储备站:五号沟LNG站是上海市的天然气应急气源站,1996年开工,2000年4月投产。以东海平湖气田天然气作为气源,服务于上海天然气供应的应急和调峰。站内建有1座2万立方米储罐和1套液化装置,是国内最早的天然气液化装置和应急储备站,也是国内第一座天然气液化工厂。

一期扩建:2008年进行一期扩建,增加2座5万立方米LNG储罐、1座5万吨级专用码头和相应生产装置。2008年11月,扩建完工,并于当月接收由马来西亚船运来的LNG(船舶容量1.9万立方米)。

二期扩建:2013年由上海市发改委核准实施,投资金额约12亿元,主要建设内容包括新建2座10万立方米储罐、2台槽车装卸橇及相关设施。2017年11月27日,上海五号沟液化天然气站扩建二期工程正式竣工落成。[7]
