OGRA Awards Construction Licenses for LNG Terminals

The Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has granted construction licenses to Tabeer Energy and Energas, Dawn News reported on Friday. These licenses will be valid for 15 years and are concerned with the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminals at Port Qasim. The terminals will be used to import, regasify, store, and supply LNG to the private customers of both companies. The companies are likely to arrange LNG reports without any liability to the government. They will also be able to use the pipeline network of gas utilities that they had been unable to access until now.
