China's first salt cavern gas storage base, "Jintan", has completed capacity expansion that will raise its daily gas injection capacity by 60 percent, said China Oil and Gas Piping Network Corporation (PipeChina) on Sunday.
Located in Jintan District of Changzhou City, east China's Jiangsu Province -- the core area of the Yangtze River Delta, the Jintan gas storage serves as a key pillar for regional energy supply.
The expansion has increased the facility's daily gas injection capacity from 8.2 million cubic meters to 13.2 million cubic meters, with its daily peak-shaving gas extraction capacity surging from 6 million cubic meters to 18 million cubic meters, tripling its previous volume.
