On December 10 in Beijing, PetroChina and Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd (Datang Power) signed a purchase and sale agreement regarding Datang Power's SNG project in Keshiketeng Qi, Inner Mongolia. Under the agreement, the project will supply 4 million cubic meters of SNG to Beijing on a daily basis. This will not only effectively alleviate the gas supply shortage in the city, but also play an important role in restoring the supply and demand balance for natural gas in North China.
Currently Datang Power's SNG project in Inner Mongolia has an annual capacity of 1.2 billion cubic meters. The SNG will be delivered to Beijing via PetroChina's Gubeikou-Gaoliying pipeline.
