LAHORE: Nation could Experience severe Gas shortage Issue this Winter.
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) sources advised users to get ready for the coming gas shortage crises. The gas utility sources stated that the country now produces 750 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of gas while importing 1000 MMcfd of RLNG.
“Gas demand started to rise, and the gap is predicted to climb to its maximum level,” according to insiders. While the supply of gas is only at 1700 MMcfd per day, demand has risen to 2500 MMcfd.
According to sources, the gas would likely be delivered to domestic customers in the provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa three times per day, but it will be challenging to supply gas to the industrial and commercial sectors.
According to sources, “the orders of imported LNG have been stopped due to excessively expansive rates.”
The chambers of commerce told about the approaching gas crisis, according to a source at SNGPL.
According to sources in the petroleum division, the proposed start date for the execution of the gas load management plan is November 1. The idea will implement following Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister, giving his permission.
