“By itself, this region is very promising in terms of gas demand.
That is, India, Pakistan, and a number of other adjacent states are quite interesting markets, which many consider to be one of the main growth points for hydrocarbons in the coming years.
At the same time, these regions are experiencing certain difficulties with their own reserves, ”said the expert.
The project in question is designed to supply regasified liquefied natural gas (LNG), Frolov added.
“That is, LNG is supplied to the terminal, regasified (from liquid to gaseous state), supplied to the gas transmission system and then supplied to the consumer.
Similar projects in the region are considered quite promising.
At the same time, the Russian Federation has quite serious plans for LNG supplies to the world market - both to the West and to the East, ”the specialist said.
Earlier it was reported that Russian Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov and Pakistani Ambassador to Russia Shafkat Ali-Khan signed a protocol on amending the intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the implementation of the North-South gas pipeline construction project (now the Pakistani Stream) dated October 16, 2015 of the year.
As it was specified, “the gas pipeline with a length of more than 1.1 thousand km and a throughput capacity of up to 12.3 billion cubic meters. m per year will connect terminals for receiving LNG in the ports of Karachi and Gwadar in the south of Pakistan with power plants and industrial consumers of gas in the Kasur (Punjab) district in the north of the country.
