Pakistan depends on Qatar for the vast majority of its LNG imports. In 2025, the nation brought in 6.57 million metric tons of LNG from Qatar, compared to a total of 6.63 million metric tons, according to S&amp;P Global Energy CERA figures. The remainder originated from Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The April 24 document from Pakistan LNG indicated that TotalEnergies Gas &amp; Power submitted a bid for the April 27-30 delivery window at $18.88 per MMBtu. For the cargo slated for May 1-7, <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/companies\/profile\/5588601\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Vitol Bahrain<\/a> offered $18.54 per MMBtu. The May 8-14 shipment drew bids from Vitol at $18.74 per MMBtu and OQ Trading at $17.997 per MMBtu.<\/p>\n<p>On April 24, Vitol and TotalEnergies chose not to comment, while OQ Trading did not reply to an inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>Spot LNG prices surged following the initiation of attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28. Platts, a unit of S&amp;P Global Energy, recorded the JKM benchmark\u2014which tracks LNG deliveries to Northeast Asia\u2014at a recent high of $25.41 per MMBtu on March 19, climbing from $10.70 per MMBtu on February 27. Values have since moderated, with Platts assessing the JKM at $17.13 per MMBtu on April 24.<\/p>\n<p>During a televised address on April 16, Power Minister Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari stated that Pakistan might contemplate spot LNG acquisitions as the nation contends with a daily power deficit, linked to the shutdown of regasified LNG-fueled power stations.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t1.
