Why
LNG?
Present
production
of
natural
gas
in
Pakistan
is
4
billion
cubic
feet
/
day
Natural
gas
currently
comprises
48%
of
Pakistans
energy
mix
Sectors
heavily
reliant
of
natural
gas
are
power
generation,
fertilizer
and
transportation
(CNG)
Pakistan
is
now
the
largest
CNG
user
in
the
world
Pakistan
faces
a
decit
of
2
billion

Infrastructure
PGL
terminal
is
situated
5.5
km
inside
the
creek
where
the
LNG
Floating
Storage
&
Regasication
Unit
(FSRU)
will
be
present.
From
there
a
subsea
pipe
will
bring
the
gas
to
the
land
terminal
where
an
ESD
valve
will
be
present.
After
the
ESD
valve,
there
will
be
4
metering
runs.
It
is
expected
that
each
metering
run
will
be
12"
