KARACHI (The Thursday Times) — QatarEnergy ne Pakistani buyers ko bata diya hai ke woh saal ke aakhir tak liquefied natural gas deliver nahin karegi. Is se us force majeure mein tawseeh ho gayi hai jis ne Iran ke saath jang shuru hone ke baad se Khaleej se supplies mein kami kar rakhi hai. Yeh baat is muamle se waqif aik shakhs ne Mangal ko Reuters ko bataya.
Un notices ka matlab, jin ke zariye suspension ko December ke shuru ki pichhli deadline se badha kar December ke aakhir tak kar diya gaya hai, yeh hai ke Pakistan ke sardiyon mein gas ki talab ke urooj ke daur mein Qatari cargoes ke baghair dakhil hone ka imkan hai. Pakistan apni darameed shuda LNG ka zyada tar hissa Qatar se taweel muddat ke muahidon ke teht khareedta hai, aur ise bijli ki paidawar, sanat aur gharelu supply ke liye istemal karta hai.
Italy ki Edison ne, jo Europe mein QatarEnergy ke sab se bare customers mein se aik hai, Italy ke energy market operator GME ke platform par aik notice mein kaha ke us ke liye mukhtas LNG ke teen aur cargoes mutasir honge. QatarEnergy April se Edison ko deliveries mansookh kar chuki hai, us khalal ki wajah se jo Iran ke saath jang se paida hua, jo February ke aakhir mein shuru hui thi.
Prices mein izafa
Qatari supply ke na milne, Europe mein gas ke kam zakhire aur thande mausam ne is hafte benchmark Dutch gas price ko €95 per megawatt hour se oopar pahuncha diya hai, jo December 2022 ke baad se us ki sab se oonchi satah ke qareeb hai. QatarEnergy ke saath Edison ka muahida, jo 2009 se nafiz hai aur 25 saal ke liye hai, saalana 6.4 arab cubic metres gas par mushtamil hai, jo Italy ke saalana istemal ka taqreeban daswan hissa hai.
Khaleej ki energy tasisaat ab bhi khatre mein hain. Mangal ko Yemen ke Houthis ne Saudi Arabia ki Ras Tanura refinery par missile hamle ka daawa kiya, jo saltanat ki sab se bari refinery hai, jabke QatarEnergy tenders ke zariye Strait of Hormuz ke andar loading ke liye naphtha pesh kar rahi hai, traders ne bataya.
