ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has increased the transmission rates for Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) for May 2025, following federal government policy guidelines. The hike reflects a rise of up to 5.44% compared to April, driven primarily by an increase in the Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) price.
According to OGRA, while the RLNG transmission rate for Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL) has risen from $10.6906 to $11.2718 per mmbtu (an increase of $0.5812), the distribution price has slightly decreased from $12.7255 to $12.5910 per mmbtu due to a reduced Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) percentage.
For Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), the transmission rate saw a 4.89% increase, climbing from $12.0012 in April to $12.5895 per mmbtu. The distribution rate also rose from $12.9499 to $13.4789 per mmbtu, marking a $0.5290 increase.
The revised prices are based on eight RLNG cargoes imported under long-term agreements with Qatar. No spot market cargoes were factored into this month’s pricing.
