ISLAMABAD/KARACHI/QUETTA/PESHAWAR: Pakistan on Saturday faced gas supply issues amid increasing demand in the northern areas of the country in the thick of winter, leading to supply being curtailed to compressed natural gas (CNG) stations and industries, as the government said it has procured 30 per cent additional liquefied natural gas at the “cheapest ever price for January”.
A Petroleum Division spokesperson explained the government’s winter gas load-management strategy, saying Pakistan will be moving 30 per cent more “LNG molecules” in this January compared to January 2018, at the cheapest ever price of $6.34 [per MMBTU] for a peak winter month,” the spokesperson said in a weekly press statement.
