After the destructive earthquake in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province on May 12, China Petrochemical Corporation (CPC), or Sinopec, has been reported as being able to maintain normal operations on a number of compressed natural gas (CNG) stations in the Chengdu area, the capital of Sichuan. At present, Sinopec supplies Chengdu with 1.3 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, which is basically the same quantity as that before the earthquake. At the epicenter, Mianyang, the company is supplying 130,000 cubic meters per day, of which 100,000 cubic meters are going to northern Sichuan disaster relief vehicles, and 30,000 cubic meters for enterprises. IANGV’s sympathy for the loss of life is extended to the people of China.
