According to the introduction, as Hubei enterprises sped up the production resumption, local LNG resource market demand soared, some LNG filling stations were out of stock.

To ensure the supply of LNG, Hubei asked Sinopec Chongqing Petroleum for emergency support. Sinopec Chongqing Petroleum actively coordinated and communicated with the management committee of Fuling Baitao Chemical Industrial Park, planned epidemic prevention and control measures for relevant personnel and vehicles to enter the plant for loading, and strengthened the epidemic prevention inspection and customer service at the gate and loading station.

Meanwhile, Sinopec Chongqing Petroleum actively cooperated with upstream-downstream enterprises, carefully deployed, and restarted LNG sales in the Hubei market. On March 24, the first tanker loaded with LNG departed from Chongqing Fuling LNG Plant to Jingmen, Hubei, and arrived at the destination safely and sound on the night of March 25.

Till the noon on March 26, the Fuling LNG Plant had delivered nine carloads of LNG to Hubei.
