ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will sign a deal next month to import gas shipments from Qatar for the next 15 years, a top Pakistani energy official said Wednesday, an agreement that should help tackle Pakistan's chronic gas shortages.

The flexible contract will allow Pakistan to import between 200 and 400 million standard cubic feet per day (mmcfd), said Mobin Saulat, head of state-run Inter State Gas systems, which oversees the pipelines.

He would not comment on the price, but said it was "very competitive".:biggrin2::biggrin2:

"It's finalised and there's just a couple of formalities. We should be able to sign it in August," he said.

Pakistan currently faces a gas shortage of around 2,000 mmcfd per day.

Pakistan has imported seven spot cargos of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar since the completion of an LNG terminal in the southern port city of Karachi in April, said Saulat.

Turkish firm suing Pakistan over power-generating ships

ISTANBUL - Turkish power firm Karadeniz Holding said it was suing Pakistan at a US arbitration court for at least $600 million compensation after two of its electricity-generating ships were seized in March.
Karadeniz Holding chief commercial officer Nuray Atacik told Reuters the ships were being kept by Pakistan without a reason.
Officials at National Accountability Bureau (NAB) did not return calls seeking comment.
“Adding it all up together, our total loss so far has reached $600 million. As long as the Pakistani side keeps the ships this amount is increasing,” Atacik said.
Karadeniz Holding sent two ships with 330 megawatts generating capacity to Pakistan in 2009 and both sides signed a 564 million five-year contract, Atacik said.
After prices rose, Pakistan did not supply fuel to the ships nor did it make rental payments to Karadeniz Holding, she said.
The company ended the contract but Pakistan kept the ships which operate 300 metres offshore.
Karadeniz Holding’s ships were going to supply the annual electricity need of 5 million people, according to its web site.

The Turkish energy firm has submitted a claim of $345 million against Pakistan with the World Bank-affiliated International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) for losses incurred by its vessels, in terms of damage or depreciation.
