KARACHI (The Thursday Times) — Qatar ne Pakistan ke saath apne 2 taweel muddati LNG supply muahidon ki qeemat par nazar-e-sani ke liye Brent khaam tel ki qeemat ke 11.96% par hatmi peshkash ki hai, jis mein saalana cargoes ki tadad kahin kam hogi, aur Pakistan State Oil 3 November tak dastakhat ke liye hukumat ki manzoori hasil karne ka khwahan hai, The Express Tribune ne PSO ke zarae ke hawale se report kiya.
Pehle muahide ke teht, jo 2016 se 2031 tak nafiz hai, LNG ki qeemat Brent ke 13.37% par muqarrar hai, aur Pakistan ne QatarEnergy se kaha tha ke ise kam kar ke 10.20% kiya jaye. Doosra muahida, jo 2021 se 2031 tak nafiz hai, 10.20% par tai hai, aur Pakistan chahta tha ke yeh isi satah par barqarar rahe, jabke Qatar 11.98% chahta tha. Akhbar ke mutabiq Qatar ki hatmi peshkash donon ko 11.96% par tai karti hai, jis se purane muahide ki lagat kam hogi lekin naye muahide ki lagat barh jayegi.
Yeh peshkash saalana 66 cargoes par mushtamil hai, jabke Pakistan is waqt saalana 108 cargoes lene ka paband hai. Zarae ka kehna tha ke qeematein hatmi hain aur ab faisla Pakistan ke haath mein hai.
Take-or-pay
Donon muahide hukumat se hukumat ki satah par tai paye thay aur PSO ko take-or-pay ki bunyad par saalana 6.75 million tonnes lene ka paband banate hain, jin mein izafi cargoes ka rukh morne ki gunjaish bohat kam hai. Bijli ke shobe ki talab mein kami aur Sui system mein gas jama hone ke baais hukumat ne 2023 mein PSO ko mahana 2 cargoes ki kami ki darkhwast karne ka ikhtiyar diya, aur 2026 ke delivery plan se 24 cargoes nikal diye gaye.
Qeemat par nazar-e-sani ka amal March mein shuru hua, jab muahide apne 10 saala nazar-e-sani ke marhale par pahunche. Agar donon fareeq 6 maheene ke andar muttafiq na ho sake toh koi bhi fareeq muahida khatm kar sakta hai, agarche aisa karne se Pakistan ki gas supply khatre mein par jayegi.
QatarEnergy ne Iran ke saath jang ke dauran apni tanseebat par hamlon ke baad March mein apni LNG baramadat par force majeure ka elan kiya tha, aur yeh muattali ab 5 November tak jari hai, jis ke baais Pakistan sardiyon ke liye cargoes hasil karne ki bhag daur mein laga hua hai.
