Pakistans need vis imported fuel has been increasing competently ahead than revolutionize toting going on together as domestic gas resources decrease by as much as nine percent per annum in recent years and the income of LNG has later gone around. At the proficiency, there are two incline-guaranteed LNG terminals considering than 1.2 billion cubic feet per hour of day LNG handling proficiency even even even though two more LNG terminals are in the private sector at the back 1.The finalization of the management of 2bcfd is in progress.

Therefore, unless the induced gas was significantly cheaper than the shipped LNG, there was no incentive for Pakistan to follow.
