Qatar will supply 3.5 million tonnes of LNG a year to Pakistan., The News reported Feb 28, citing statements from Dr. Asim Hussain, special assistant to prime minister of petroleum and natural resources. "The authorities at Qatar Gas Company want to export the LNG for 15 years, but the government of Pakistan is asking for the 10 year supply of LNG, fearing the prices may increase after 10 years." Initially, Qatar wanted to supply Pakistan for 25 years, but later reduced the time span up to 15 years. According to Zeuslntel.com, Pakistan has just one LNG-receiving terminal, Kaderio Creek LNG, under construction; however, Hussain suggests, that the import of 3.5 million tonnes of LNG requires more terminals.
