SINGAPORE, March 12 (Reuters) - China's CNOOC, the country's largest
importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), is offering long-term access to its
receiving terminals for the super-chilled fuel, an initiative spurred by
Beijing's reform push to open up oil and gas infrastructure to independent
companies.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL3N20Y2AL 
    China, which has since 2017 become the world's No.2 LNG buyer after Japan,
currently operates 21 receiving terminals with total annual capacity of 67
million tonnes, built mostly by the country's state energy giants China National
Petroleum Corp (CNPC), Sinopec  600028.SS  and CNOOC. 
    CNOOC, or China National Offshore Oil Corp, parent of CNOOC Ltd  0883.HK ,
which started the country's first terminal in 2006, accounts for nearly 60
percent of the total receiving capacity. 
    A handful of small private firms have in recent years stepped into the
sector, including city gas developer ENN Energy  2688.HK , Jovo Energy and
Guanghui Energy  600256.SS . The largest independent terminal, a 3 million
tonne-per-year facility in east China, was built by ENN and started up in
October. 
    Below are the details of terminals and storage tanks attached to China's LNG
terminals, according to China Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering Institute
and industry sources. 
    A total of 9.26 million cubic meters of storage tanks are in operation at
these terminals, with another 4.94 million cubic metres are under constructions.
    (Terminal capacity is in million tonnes per year; storage is given in the
number of tanks by tank size in 1,000 cubic metres. For instance, 4X160=four
tanks each sized 160,000 cubic metres.)
