South Hook LNG terminal connects with South Wales Gas Pipeline
Description
The terminal is built to receive, store and re-gasify liquefied natural gas shipped from the Qatargas 2 LNG plant in Qatar. There are five storage tanks located onsite. The large tanks are each 94 metres in diameter and 31 metres high, rising another 12 metres to the top. The volume of a large tank is roughly that of the Albert Hall.
The regasified natural gas is fed through the South Wales Gas Pipeline to the national gas network at Tirley, Gloucestershire.
