ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) has raised re-gasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) prices by up to 0.59 per cent for February 2026, citing a marginal increase in terminal charges.
The oil and gas regulator announced its decision on Friday, reducing RLNG rates for both Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd (SNGPL) and Sui Southern Gas Company Ltd (SSGCL). The changes reflect increase up to $0.0605 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) across transmission and distribution costs.
Under the new pricing, RLNG rates for SNGPL consumers were up by 0.53 per cent from January levels, while SSGC consumers will face increase of 0.59 per cent, according to the Ogra notification.
For SNGPL, the distribution price inched up by $0.0602 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) to $11.3345 per MMBtu from $11.2743 in January. SSGC distribution price increased by $0.0605 per MMBtu to $10.27 from $10.21 in January.
Ogra said the updated prices include terminal charges, transmission losses, port handling costs and margins for Pakistan State Oil, the state-run LNG importer.
The weighted average sale prices were calculated on the basis of eight LNG cargoes imported by PSO under its two long-term supply agreements with Qatar. Of these, four cargoes were procured at a higher pricing slope and other four at a lower rate.
RLNG remains a critical component of Pakistan’s energy mix, especially during periods of domestic gas shortages. Currently, its share in Pakistan’s energy mix is 19 per cent. The government projects that it will be gradually reduced to zero by 2035.
The government revises RLNG prices every month based on global LNG rates, exchange rate movements and infrastructure-related costs.
