The Nghe An Provincial delegation surveyed the Thi Vai LNG terminal.
On the morning of March 25th, a delegation from the Nghe An Provincial People's Committee, led by Mr. Phung Thanh Vinh - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, conducted a field survey at the Thi Vai LNG terminal. This activity is part of the province's program to exchange and learn from experiences in implementing LNG thermal power projects.
Accompanying the delegation were leaders from various departments, the Tan Mai Ward People's Committee, and relevant specialized agencies.
The Thi Vai LNG terminal, invested by Vietnam Gas Corporation (PV Gas), commenced construction in October 2019 with a total investment of approximately 6,500 billion VND.
The terminal system includes LNG storage tanks and two regasification units; a tanker truck loading station, a pressure reducing station, a connecting gas pipeline system; an automated control center for the entire operation process, a fire protection system, etc.
Currently, PV GAS is implementing the second phase of the expansion of the Thi Vai LNG terminal, increasing its capacity from 1 million to 3 million tons per year, with completion expected in 2029. The project has a total investment of over 8,867 billion VND, aiming to enhance gas supply capacity for power plants and industries, contributing to national energy security.
With the upgrade of the Thi Vai LNG terminal to 3 million tons/year, PV GAS continues to focus on investing in modern technologies, optimizing regasification efficiency and safety, and aiming for a "Smart LNG terminal" model by extensively applying AI.
Continue to promote the development of the "Green Port" model, with energy-saving technologies, reduced emissions, and advanced waste management, aiming to become a model for Vietnam's LNG terminal system, contributing to the sustainable development of the energy sector.
At the Thi Vai LNG terminal, the Nghe An provincial delegation directly visited the specialized wharf system, which receives LNG carriers with a deadweight capacity of up to 100,000 DWT. Representatives from the operating management unit (PV GAS) introduced the delegation to the process of receiving, storing, and regasifying the LNG.
The delegation learned about the technology of heat-compensated storage tanks, the gas pipeline system, and the operating procedures of the central gas distribution station for supplying fuel to power plants and industrial customers. The Thi Vai port terminal has a large LNG storage tank with a capacity of 180,000 cubic meters and a capacity of 1 million tons of LNG per year.
On-site, members of the working group exchanged views with the operating unit on several professional issues related to port infrastructure management, such as: safety procedures and protection corridors; legal procedures, technical standards, and coordination mechanisms with state management agencies on maritime affairs, border guards, and local authorities in ensuring security and safety in the port area,...
The survey at the Thi Vai LNG terminal aimed to help specialized agencies of Nghe An province understand the scale and technical requirements of the LNG terminal infrastructure. The information gathered regarding the site layout, technology, and operational processes will be incorporated into research reports by relevant departments and agencies, serving as advice to the Provincial People's Committee during the implementation of the Quynh Lap LNG Thermal Power Plant project in Tan Mai ward.
