History
CNOOC Gas & Power Group Co., Ltd. was established in April 2008 as a wholly owned subsidiary of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). From its inception, it was tasked with the unified operation and management of CNOOC's natural gas and power generation businesses. In the same year, its technology research and development center was founded, becoming CNOOC's only specialized LNG technology R&D institution. Over the years, the company has developed a technology system centered on "LNG production, storage and transportation, power and new energy, and low-carbon technology development and utilization," creating CNOOC's "CGTechnology" technology brand cluster. It has completed the engineering transformation and application of multiple major scientific research achievements, training three technical experts at the group level and eleven at the subsidiary level. This has driven the gas and power industry from complete dependence on foreign technology to fully independent construction and development. The company has built and put into operation 6 LNG receiving terminals with a total receiving capacity of 32.6 million tons per year, approximately 2,660 kilometers of natural gas pipelines, and 10 gas-fired power plants with a total installed capacity of 11.2 million kilowatts (7 controlled plants). It operates 298 vehicle refueling stations and city gas networks of approximately 1,630 kilometers in 4 provinces. It is currently building the Yancheng "Green Energy Port" project, China's largest LNG reserve base, which features six 270,000 cubic meter LNG storage tanks, the world's largest single-tank capacity. The company has received international recognition, including the 2013 World LNG Industry Outstanding Contribution Award and the 2017 World LNG Industry Technology Innovation Award. It has established connections with over 100 LNG resource traders globally, with procurement spanning 25 countries and regions, making it China's largest and the world's second-largest LNG importer. Its domestic natural gas sales market share ranks second nationwide, and it operates in 19 provinces and cities. The company continues to advance its "green shipping" strategy, implementing projects to gasify the coast, the Pearl River, the Yangtze River, and the canal, and building four international LNG vessel bunkering centers.
