The document summarizes the future potential for LNG terminals in the Indian subcontinent. It finds that natural gas demand is expected to outpace domestic production in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This will create opportunities for LNG imports to meet the increasing gas demand. The document outlines existing and planned LNG import capacity in each country and estimates a total subcontinent shortfall of natural gas that LNG can help address.

12. Demand of Natural Gas in the Indian sub
continent is unlikely to be fully realized
Lack of adequate reserves
— Lack of a market pricing mechanism
— Lack of market reforms in major end consumer
sector
— Lack of transportation and distribution network
— Uneven policy and taxation structure
LNG appears to be an immediate solution to meet the increasing
gas demand

15. Proposed and Potential LNG Export Projects in
North America
• Given the number of projects
that are currently applying for
export license, the prospects of
LNG export from North America
appear to be strong
• Export license to non-FTA
countries is critical for viability
of US export projects
• Expected US LNG exports by
2020 are 70 mmtpa, in addition
20-30 mmtpa of LNG exports
could come from Canada

21. LNG import plan of Bangladesh
• The Government plans to build an LNG
import terminal at Moheshkhali
Island with a capacity of 5 MMTPA
• Signed MoU to import 4 MMTPA from
Qatar Petroleum in January 2011
• Three bidders short listed to develop
an FSRU based import terminal but no
headway so far
• Recently, the government re-
scheduled its target and is in the
process of re-tendering or re-
negotiating with the short-listed firms
22. LNG import plan of Pakistan (1/2)
• Pakistan’s first LNG policy was
introduced in 2006 with private sector
participation and without the
Government’s physical or financial
support
• The Government committed to support
the projects, if needed, to secure long
term LNG supplies but no guarantee
was offered
• However, the private sector showed
little enthusiasm for a highly capital
intensive and risk prone business
• As a result the government initiated its
own parallel LNG import project albeit
through Government entity under the
name Pakistan Mashal LNG Project
(PMLP) in 2005-06
23. LNG import plan of Pakistan (2/2)
• In 2010, the contract for terminal development was awarded
to 4GasAsia whereas GDF-Suez was awarded the LNG supply
contract. However due to various issues, the project came to a
standstill
• Recently, Pakistan has been considering to import LNG from
Qatar via India
• India will receive LNG at one of its west coast terminals and
supply gas through a planned pipeline to Pakistan’s border
• India has offered to supply 200 million cubic feet per day
(mmcfd) of LNG for a period of five years
• India plans to expand its natural gas pipeline network across
the border. It has already laid a 100 km pipeline to Bhatinda,
from where the pipeline will be extended to Wagah bordering
with Pakistan
24. LNG import plan of Sri Lanka
• In response to a call for
proposals in 2001, the
government of Sri Lanka
received several proposals
for the construction of LNG
terminals. However, nothing
was heard of these proposals
thereafter
• The Ministry of Power and
Energy had made a previous
attempt to obtain LNG from
• A terminal of 1.7 MMTPA Iran and an exchange of
capacity was planned to be delegations had also taken
located in Kandana by Lanka place
Transformer Ltd.
25. Conditions evolving for increased near term
availability of LNG for India
• Increasing LNG affordability to create interest amongst
suppliers
– LNG will flow to India where prices are sufficient and
quantities can support the necessary infrastructure
• Indian LNG import depends on the amount of demand that
can accept international market prices
• Three views of LNG import levels
– Assume only current and developing projects
– Assume a substantial expansion of LNG capacity
– Plants operate at 70% load factor

available by 2013

29. India can provide an immediate solution to
Pakistan and Bangladesh’s rising gas shortages
• Despite all the hurdles and a multitude of various policy
initiatives, imports of LNG are expected to be the only path
forward for the energy security of Pakistan and Bangladesh in
the near to medium term
• In the next 3 to 4 years, LNG must be available in these
countries to meet the expected gas shortage
• The Indian sub continent could learn a lot from the European
and US - Canada examples of sharing infrastructure,
economics and mitigating risks
• For the short term , India can be treated as an LNG importing
hub and regasified LNG can be supplied to Bangladesh and
Pakistan through onshore pipelines extending across borders
30. The Indian sub continent could emerge as the
next importing hub since………
• Additional gas from domestic supply in near term is unlikely
• There is significant demand to support LNG price
• Increasing demand – supply gap can be compensated only
through LNG imports but:
⁻ Quantum of LNG imports will depend on the volume of demand
that can accept international market prices
⁻ Price should be right (especially from Power and Fertilizer
industries) to attract LNG players
⁻ LNG infrastructure building needs to continue
• An integrated LNG souring approach can put the Indian sub-
continent players in the commanding position while negotiating
the contracts and risks related to market forces
