Pakistan GasPort Consortium Limited (PGPC)—the wholly owned subsidiary of Pakistan GasPort

Limited (PGPL)—owns and operates the 750mmscfd LNG import terminal at Mazhar Point, Port Qasim,

Karachi.

This landmark infrastructure project represents an investment of about half a billion dollars from PGPC

in the jetty and marine works, Norway’s BW Group (BW) in the brand new and state-of-the-art

Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), and Fauji Foundation’s Fauji Oil Terminal &

Distribution Company Limited (FOTCO) in the metering system and the 12.3-kilometer subsea and

onshore pipeline from the jetty to the national gas grid.

BW has a 32-member crew manning the FSRU and terminal operations are being managed by a

specially trained team from FOTCO on behalf of PGPC.

Awarded through an international competitive bidding process, the PGPC project is providing LNG

storage and regasification services to state-owned Pakistan LNG Terminals Limited (PLTL) of up to
600mmscfd for 15 years at an availability of 96% and at a levelized tariff of $0.4177/mmbtu—the

lowest in Pakistan and among the most competitive anywhere in the world.

The terminal’s surplus regas capacity of 90mmscfd shall, under the prevailing policy and rules, be

made available to the private sector in collaboration with PGPC’s equity partner Trafigura Holdings

Limited, which is the world’s largest LNG trader.

Engineering, procurement, supply, dredging and construction services to the project were provided by

the consortium comprising Xinjiang Petroleum Engineering Company Limited (XPE), CCCC Third

Harbor Engineering Company Limited (THEC), and CCCC Third Harbor Consultants Company Limited

(THCC)—with Denmark’s COWI as the owner’s engineer.

The terminal shall be the principal fuel source for 3,600 megawatts of new power generation plants

set up by the Government of Pakistan and the Government of the Punjab. It will also yield an

estimated $2 billion in annual foreign-exchange savings through fuel substitution.

PGPC’s environment protection regime and social action plan for community involvement is in

accordance with World Bank guidelines.

Despite the country’s first LNG policy being launched in 2006, Pakistan only commenced LNG imports

in 2015. Today, Pakistan, whose energy mix is heavily reliant on natural gas, is a go-to destination for

global LNG suppliers and investors. Demand for imported LNG in Pakistan is expected to grow steadily

and reach 30 million tons per annum by 2020.

PGPC’s key energy infrastructure project is Pakistan’s second LNG receiving facility and is of high

national importance. As a reflection of their confidence in the country’s energy sector, PGPC and

Trafigura are rapidly developing another LNG terminal at Port Qasim under the aegis of their Pakistan

Gas Solutions joint venture. This terminal will operate entirely in the private sector without recourse to

Government guarantees.

The FSRU for this project, BW Integrity, originally Hull No. 2118, was constructed by Samsung Heavy

Industries in South Korea. It has a low environmental footprint, high efficiency, storage capacity in

excess of 170,000m3 and peak regasification capacity of 750mmscfd. The christening of the FSRU took

place at the Geoje shipyard on Jan. 12, 2017. This is BW’s second FSRU project—the first being BW

Integrity’s sister vessel, BW Singapore, which is deployed in Egypt on a five-year charter. This is the

26th FSRU ever made.

H.E. Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi inaugurated the project on Nov. 20, 2017. The

commissioning cargo was successfully received on Nov. 24, 2017.


MESSAGES ON THE OCCASION OF THE PROJECT’S INAUGURATION

H.E. Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi:

Two years ago, after overcoming many challenges, Pakistan started LNG imports. It is currently

importing over 4.5 million tons per year. Today we are inaugurating the country’s second LNG

regasification terminal, which has a capacity to handle over 5 million tons of LNG per year.

I am pleased that BW, FOTCO, Trafigura and PGPC came together to develop this LNG terminal. It is a

world-class facility capable of handling the biggest LNG carriers. The brand new, state-of-the-art FSRU

used for this regasification terminal will result in greater efficiency and substantial savings in internal

gas usage.

With the commencement of supplies from this regasification terminal, a large part of the country’s

urgent need for gas will be met and the power sector will greatly benefit from clean and efficient

generation. Availability of clean burning, environment-friendly and comparatively inexpensive fuel will

boost the economy and make our exports more competitive. In addition, it will contribute to GDP

growth and provide positive effects for the social environment.

The Government of Pakistan is encouraging the setting up of LNG terminals and direct gas sale by the

private sector. I am pleased to learn that today PGPC and Trafigura have announced their

commitment to proceed with a second LNG terminal at Port Qasim. I have been informed that the two

PGPC regasification terminals, FSRUs, and gas delivery systems will represent a collective investment

of over $1 billion. This is a reflection of the industry’s confidence in the policies of the Government of

Pakistan.

Several other serious industry players are also planning to set up LNG terminals in the private sector.

Pakistan needs all of these terminals and more to meet its needs. It is the policy of the government to

provide a fair, balanced and attractive regulatory framework and transmission pipeline capacity to

enable third-party access in the gas system. Investment in these projects is being made entirely by

their sponsors, without any recourse to government guarantees.

We see Pakistan’s demand for LNG growing to about 30 million tons per year by 2020 and the

Government of Pakistan’s target is to ensure availability of gas in any quantity to any consumer

anywhere in the country. I am grateful to the companies who have invested in this important national

project. I wish this project, the management of PGPC, and all its investors the very best. I am

confident that they will find Pakistan to be a welcoming investment destination where the government

facilitates and supports the operation and expansion of these vital infrastructure projects.
Mr. Sikandar Sultan Raja, Federal Secretary, Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division):

The commissioning of Pakistan’s second LNG terminal represents a significant step forward for our

country’s energy security and for the global energy sector. This project is proof that Pakistan is

building a safe and secure future for our children. This terminal will increase the country’s LNG

regasification capacity to 1.2bcf and go a long way towards fulfilling the Government of Pakistan’s

vision of ensuring continuous and affordable energy to the people and to crucial sectors of our

economy. This project is a testament to the highest standards of probity, fairness, and transparency. I

congratulate everyone involved in bringing this mega project to life.

Lt. Gen. Khalid Nawaz Khan, HI (M) (Retired), Chairman, FOTCO:

It is with immense pleasure that we, FOTCO, announce the successful completion of the RLNG high-

pressure pipeline and measurement system for Pakistan’s second LNG terminal. The FOTCO pipeline

will relay RLNG from the PGPC jetty to the delivery point on the national gas grid through a 1.3-

kilometer subsea pipeline section, a 4-kilometer trestle-mounted section, and a 7-kilometer onshore

and underground section. FOTCO feels very proud to be an integral part of this energy infrastructure

project, which is of significant national importance. The pipeline has an inherent design capacity of

1.2bcfd; it will, therefore, also be available for the transmission of additional RLNG volumes from

PGPC’s upcoming second LNG import terminal.

Mr. Agha Jan Akhtar, Chairman, Port Qasim Authority (PQA):

Port Qasim Authority congratulates PGPC on the completion of its LNG import terminal. This is the

country’s second LNG terminal. The first, also located at Port Qasim, was commissioned in March

2015. The port’s strategic location allows it to serve as a hub for Pakistan’s economic growth, and with

these two terminals—and the others planned at Port Qasim—PQA is fulfilling its potential as a vital and

unparalleled growth driver for the country.

Mr. Azam Soofi, MD and CEO, PLTL:

This LNG terminal marks a turning point in the history of Pakistan’s energy sector. It will serve as a

game changer in tackling energy shortfalls and ensuring energy security through alternative gas

supply sources and competitive pricing. I congratulate the entire nation—and PGPC and its associates

and partners who put in extensive efforts to complete this strategic, state-of-the-art asset—on the

inauguration of this vitally important infrastructure project.

Ms. Yngvil Asheim, Managing Director, BW LNG:

Our heartiest congratulations to PGPC on this momentous occasion! Together with BW Group CEO

Carsten Mortensen, Management Committee, and colleagues, we look forward to 15 years of strong
partnership with PGPC and to delivering our commitments on time and of the highest quality in this

project of national importance.

Mr. Iqbal Z. Ahmed, Chairman, Pakistan GasPort:

By the Grace of God, Pakistan GasPort’s LNG import terminal has been successfully completed and will

play its unique part in meeting the country’s energy requirements.

With an estimated investment of about half a billion dollars by PGPC, BW, and FOTCO, this project is

evidence of the strong faith that investors, local and foreign, place in Pakistan and its economic

potential. PGPC is pleased to be working with BW, Trafigura and FOTCO on this facility. This milestone

project, awarded through an international competitive bidding process overseen by U.K.-based Galway

Group, will provide up to 600mmscfd of LNG storage and regasification services to state-owned PLTL,

at a tolling tariff of $0.4177/mmbtu, and another 90mmscfd of RLNG to private sector buyers.

PGPC and Trafigura are expeditiously developing another LNG terminal, which will also be located at

Mazhar Point, for the private sector and without any buyback guarantees from or financial exposure of

the government. The two LNG terminals alone will represent an investment of about $1 billion. PGPC’s

principal sponsor, Associated Group (AG), and Trafigura are also advancing the setting up of the

country’s first refrigerated LPG import terminal.

We are ready, willing, and able to provide viable, world-class solutions to overcome our country’s

energy crisis. PGPC and its associates wish to thank His Excellency Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan

Abbasi and the Government of Pakistan for opening and growing the Pakistan market to investors. For

their support to this project, we wish to thank, among others, the Ministry of Energy, the Oil and Gas

Regulatory Authority (OGRA), PLTL, Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL), Mr. Agha Jan Akhtar and PQA, Lt.

Gen. Khalid Nawaz Khan (retired) and FOTCO, BW, Trafigura, XPE, THEC, THCC SSGC, Customs

authorities and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the Sindh

Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) and the Government of Sindh, Arif Habib Limited, our

investors, consultants, counsels, and financing institutions. We are grateful to everyone involved with

this project for their hard work and dedication in making it possible.
