Pakistan aims to revive stalled Qatari LNG project

Pakistan is actively pursuing the revival of a $200 million Qatari investment in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal project that has faced bureaucratic obstacles for half a decade, primarily related to pipeline capacity allocation issues.

Pakistan’s local gas production dwindling from 4.2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) to 3.19 bcfd and the country has increasingly turned to imported gas (RLNG). However, progress in installing LNG terminals and expanding RLNG pipeline infrastructure has been limited.

As per a report published by The News, the Energas terminal, designed to operate on a business-to-business (BtB) model without government guarantees on RLNG (Re-Gasified Liquefied Natural Gas) takeoff, holds the potential to re-gasify up to 1,000 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of LNG.

Energas LNG terminal management recently engaged with petroleum division officials to address long-standing issues, with plans for further discussions. Qatar is set to hold a 49 percent share in the Energas LNG terminal.

Despite high-level discussions and promises to Qatar from Pakistan’s leadership, no formal progress has been made in previous government of PTI and PDM, which has led to frustration on both sides.

Pipeline capacity allocation from Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has been secured for the Energas terminal, but approval from Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) remains pending. Delays are further exacerbated by incomplete documentation related to Third Party Access (TPA) and an unfinished network code, both essential for the network’s operationalization.

SNGPL argues that it allocated pipeline capacity to Energas during a meeting in October 2021 and provisionally approved the Access Agreement in December 2021. However, Energas has not yet signed the agreement, insisting solely on the Allocation Agreement. The Petroleum Division reported resolving key issues in the Allocation Agreement in November 2022, but as of now, Energas has not signed it.

  1. At the beginning of the year, I was investing with a Bitcoin trading forum and it was all rosy until a couple of weeks earlier, an old friend narrated how she had lost hundreds of thousands of pounds through the same scheme when I wanted to share the good news to her of how successful I will be when I withdraw my investment and profits. I became shattered and that’s how I became a victim of Bitcoin trading fraud, I sought advice from my friend, and she introduced me to Cyber Genie Pro. I was told that they were an organized group of individuals helping individuals get back their money obtained through fraud. It all started when I stumbled upon a fake positive review of a crypto trading platform on Yelp. Anyway, I was able to get my scammed Bitcoin after I had contacted ( cybergenie(@)cyberservices(.)com ) (+_1_2_5_2_5_1_2_0_3_9_1). I am not happy about this because I really thought all of this was real as I had serious plans for my investment profits. Cyber Genie recouped all I had invested but the profits on the investment couldn’t be withdrawn. Thank Cyber Genie for teaching me about the endless options these scammers use to wreak havoc on harmless individuals. I witnessed the authenticity and extreme professionalism of CYBER GENIE PRO!!
