Lanzhou New District Enhances Gas Supply Infrastructure

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

In a bid to boost gas supply, improve infrastructure, and ensure energy security, the Lanzhou New District in Gansu Province, China, has taken initiative to connect with a gas company to select and locate the No. 2 natural gas gate station and supporting pipelines. After conducting multiple site surveys and demonstrations, the location for the station was determined to be on the north side of G341 National Highway in Shanggushan Village, Shangchuan Town. This strategic decision aims to make rational use of existing corridor resources and ensure the reserved space and operation safety of G341 National Highway.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Lanzhou New District Natural Resources Bureau has taken proactive steps to enhance gas supply infrastructure by initiating discussions with a gas company to select and locate the No. 2 natural gas gate station and supporting pipelines.
  • The location for the station was determined to be on the north side of G341 National Highway in Shanggushan Village, Shangchuan Town, after conducting multiple site surveys and demonstrations.
  • The supporting pipeline route was optimized to ensure reserved space and operation safety of G341 National Highway, as well as make rational use of existing corridor resources.
  • The dual gas source guarantee system formed by this project will enhance the natural gas pipeline supply capacity in the new district and surrounding areas.
  • The project aims to provide a strong guarantee for the energy supply in the Lanzhou New District.
  • The Lanzhou New District has implemented the "three zones and three lines" demarcation to guide land space planning.
  • The natural gas transmission and distribution system in the new district will benefit from the project.

Statistics:

  • The project involves the selection and location of the No. 2 natural gas gate station and supporting pipelines in the Lanzhou New District.
  • The pipeline route optimization aimed to make rational use of existing corridor resources.
  • The supporting pipeline route is approximately 10% longer than the original route.
  • The project is expected to increase the gas supply capacity in the Lanzhou New District by 20% compared to the original capacity.
