Oil and gas firm Jereh Group has completed the first shale gas liquefaction plant in China.
Located at Junlian county in Sichuan province, the plant covers an area of 718,000ft².
The first phase of the project will produce 2,470,000 cubic feet of LNG per day.
Construction on the phase two, which is capable of producing up to 10,590,000 cf/d, is scheduled to commence shortly.
Jereh general manager Yang Zhiguo said: "We believe this project will drive Jereh to step out for more LNG projects worldwide.
"Jereh modularised Mini LNG project with production size from 200,000 to 11,200,000 cf per day ensures onsite quick construction and better cost advantage."
