Pakistan,Turkmenistan negotiating another project after TAPI

After the groundbreaking of the TAPI gas pipeline, both Pakistan and Turkmenistan are now bracing for yet another project, which would pass through the Afghanistan-Iran border to connect with the Gwadar port.

Balochistan, long marred by insurgency and political unrest, could now potentially see a massive increase in employment amongst its populace.

An official familiar with the development said the Interstate Gas Systems (ISGS) had submitted a concept paper to Turkmenistan around two months ago, discussing the laying of an additional gas pipeline.

The official said that work on this proposal was under way to implement the project.

He said the TAPI pipeline would be able to provide 3.2 billion cubic feet of gas per day, while any additional gas supply from Turkmenistan would be transported through another pipeline.

“The Pakistan government would set up an LNG re-gasification plant at Gwadar Port to convert this gas into LNG,” the official added.

“The proposal of a second pipeline was also discussed during the sidelines of the meeting at Ashgabat, Turkmenistan when Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited for the groundbreaking of TAPI project.”

Turkmenistan had already committed to 85% investment to implement the TAPI gas pipeline project. The remaining equity would be equally shared by Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

China will also provide a concessional loan for the Gwadar LNG pipeline project.

Meanwhile, Russia, which is already importing gas from Turkmenistan, has also offered to lay a gas pipeline. Pakistan and Russia have recently signed a government-to-government deal to lay a $2-billion LNG pipeline from Karachi to Lahore.

“Pakistan has two new proposed gas pipeline projects – one from Turkmenistan and the other from Russia,” official said, adding that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has directed to pursue these two gas pipeline projects to meet domestic energy needs.

The cost of the Gwadar LNG pipeline project, including its terminal, and TAPI amounts to $12 billion. Pakistan would have to finance only $500 million from its own pocket to implement these two projects.

For the record

Pakistan would import 1.3 bcfd of gas through TAPI gas pipeline, whereas 600 mmcfd of LNG would be imported through the terminal at Gwadar.

Pakistan, starved for energy, would be able to bridge a huge amount of its shortfall through these two projects. It will import 1 bcfd through the Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project.

The Gwadar Development Authority (GDA) has also placed a request for 100 mmcfd gas to meet requirement of the city.
