Background
Energas has proposed to build an FSRU in Port Qasim, Pakistan, with an initial commissioning target of 2018.[4] ExxonMobil pulled out of the project in November 2020 but Energas continues to sponsor it.[5]
In October 2021, Qasim Terminal Holding Co., a subsidiary of Qatar Energy, applied for clearance with Pakistan’s government to take a stake in the Energas terminal.[6]
In May 2023, The News reported that Qatar's government had asked Pakistan to address issues delaying progress in developing Energas FSRU. Qatar's Qasim Terminal Holding Co. has a 49% stake in the project. The cost of the terminal at this time was estimated to be US$140-160 million.[1]
In September 2023, Profit reported that Pakistan was actively pursuing the revival of this terminal.[7]
In June 2024, The Express Tribune reported that the government was planning to amend the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) Act aimed at allowing the operator of Energas Terminal to have monopoly over capacity utilization, which would make this terminal a more attractive investment for Qatar.[8]
