BEIJING - 皇冠体育app National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), the country's largest offshore oil producer, announced on Monday that its overseas liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply base has started operation.

The Queensland Curtis LNG project in Australia is expected to secure an annual supply of 3.6 million tons of LNG for 皇冠体育app for 20 years. Proven and explorable reserves in the base total 350 billion cubic meters.
