José Cryogenic Terminal

LNG and LPG cryogenic terminal at the José complex. Specialized in liquefied petroleum gases.

José Cryogenic Terminal is a world-class specialized facility dedicated to handling, storage, and export of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Operating at cryogenic temperatures of -160°C, this terminal is one of the few in Latin America equipped to handle large volumes of liquefied gases with the highest safety and efficiency standards. The facilities include cryogenic storage tanks, regasification systems, and specialized loading equipment.

The terminal plays a fundamental role in exporting Venezuelan gas to international markets, particularly to Asian and European countries that demand LNG as a clean energy source. The cryogenic complex is integrated with the main José Terminal, sharing logistics infrastructure but maintaining independent safety systems and specific operation protocols for cryogenic products. Operation requires special certifications, strict safety protocols, and highly trained personnel in handling liquefied gases at very low temperatures.
