Overview
- Pakistan LNG Limited, which issued a tender Thursday, is seeking three delivered cargoes to Port Qasim for April 27–30, May 1–7, and May 8–14, with bids due Friday.
- QatarEnergy’s force majeure and instability at the Strait of Hormuz have curtailed regular supply, with officials noting four Qatari-loaded vessels could not complete the passage.
- SOCAR said it can start supplying under a 2025 framework once Pakistan files a request, though no request or delivery schedule has been confirmed.
- The Power Division asked for about 400 million cubic feet per day of extra gas to keep power plants running, as outages grow with rising demand and weaker hydropower output.
- The government is weighing alternative fuel and LNG sources, including Russia, Nigeria and Venezuela, after directing the Petroleum Division to study options and route constraints.
