Geo News: New Delhi, November 12, 2008 : .The Pakistani government decided to maintain gas supplies to power and fertiliser industries, while domestic consumers and industrial customers will be affected by a significant gas shortage in Pakistan during winter.
Geo News reports that the Pakistan government will continue to supply gas to its power and fertilizer sectors.However, domestic and industrial consumers may be in short supply due to a large gas shortage during winter.
This decision was made by the Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCoE) during a meeting on Thursday which was chaired by Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar.The Cabinet Committee on Energy (CCoE), which met on Thursday under the presidence of Asad Umar, Federal Minister for Planning and Development made this decision.

The CCOE decided supply of gas to “dedicated” consumers, including power and fertiliser plants, would remain stable, The News International reported.
According to The News International, the CCOE determined that gas supply would continue to be stable for “dedicated” consumers.This includes power plants and fertilisers.
According to The News International the CCOE decided that supply of gas would not be affected by power or fertiliser plant cuts.
The power plants on SNGPL supply will be provided RLNG during 2021-22 with additional supply.
SNGPL power plant supply will receive RLNG in 2021-22, with an additional supply.SNGPL supplies will continue to be supplied with RLNG through 2021-22.Additional supply is also available.The deficit of the power sector will be recouped through furnace oil.Furnace oil will make up the deficit in power sector.It will also be used to replenish the shortage in the power sector.
Any gas saved from captive power plants will be diverted towards export-oriented industries.All gas from captive power plants that is not used will be sent to export-oriented businesses.
Gas saved by captive power plants can be used to support export-oriented industries.
Pakistan is expected to be hit by a major gas crisis this year like every year for several reasons, the Geo News report cited official sources as saying.
According to Geo News, Pakistan will be struck by major gas crises this year as it has every year.The Geo News reported that Pakistan could be affected by this year’s major gas crisis, as is every other year.
One of the reasons is that local discoveries of gas have witnessed a dip, so the domestic gas reserves are depleting, the sources explained, adding that the local gas supply stood at 4,300 mmcfd a few years back but now it has depleted and stands at 3,300 mmcfd.The reason is local gas discoveries have seen a decline, which means that domestic gas resources are decreasing.
Sources explained that while the local gas supply was at 4,300mmcfd just a few years ago, it now stands at 3,300mmcfd.Local gas discovery has seen a drop, and so domestic gas reserves have been depleting.
The sources said that although the gas supply in the area was 4,300 mmcfd only a few decades ago, now it is at 3,300 mmcfd.
The import of RLNG also faced snags and Pakistan used to add 1,200 mmcfd gas through RLNG a few years ago, but is now going to add just 1,000 mmcfd of gas.There were also problems with the import of RLNG.While Pakistan was able to provide 1,200 mmcfd in RLNG gas a few decades ago, it is going to now add only 1,000 mmcfd.
The import of RLNG was also plagued by problems.Pakistan used to add 1,200 mmcfd through RLNG a few year ago but now will add only 1,000 mmcfd.
“There is a need to ascertain why two RLNG terminals could not be set up.It is necessary to determine why the two terminals for RLNG could not have been set up.There is an urgent need to find out why there are not two LNG terminals.If they were there, the country could have imported 1,200 mmcfd more gas through RLNG,” the official sources said.
According to official sources, if they had been there, 1,200 mmcfd more gas could have been imported through RLNG.Official sources stated that if these terminals were available, the country would have been able to import 1,200 mmcfd less gas via RLNG #Major #shortage #Pakistan #Delhi
