Bangladesh to Boost LNG Supply from Summit’s Terminal

Gas supply has resumed from Summit’s LNG terminal in Moheshkhali after a four-day shutdown for annual maintenance, increasing supply to the national grid. Gas supply from Summit’s terminal remained suspended for four consecutive days starting November 4 for maintenance work, reducing supply by over 400 million cubic feet. Summit’s terminal was recommissioned yesterday afternoon, Saturday. The Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation (Petrobangla) announced the resumption of gas supply from the terminal in a press release.

The release stated that following emergency maintenance work, Summit’s LNG terminal resumed gas supply at 1:00 PM on Saturday. As a result, Summit has resumed gas supply to the national grid as before. There are two floating terminals in Moheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar, to convert imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) and supply it through pipelines- one belonging to the US company Excelerate Energy and the other to Summit.

Petrobangla says the two terminals’ combined gas supply capacity is 1,100 million cubic feet. Around 4:00 PM yesterday, it supplied 1,000 million cubic feet. Meanwhile, domestic gas sources supplied 1,580 million cubic feet. This brought the total national gas supply up to 2,580 million cubic feet. Over the past four days, supply averaged around 2,100 million cubic feet. The country’s daily gas demand stands at 3,800 million cubic feet.
