Petronet to bring LNG to southern coast by 2014 [1]

Plans to charter floating terminal land-based project to be ready by '16

Petronet LNG Limited is planning to charter a floating LNG (liquefied natural gas) storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to bring LNG to the AP coast early by 2014 while it expects to complete the land-based LNG terminal at Gangavaram port by 2016. The company made this revelation after it concluded the public hearing for developing the land-based terminal on Thursday. “Petronet LNG Limited is fully committed to this project and is working on various options for bringing gas early, to meet the energy deficit, both in the state and in other parts of the country,” the company said while stating that chartering an FSRU was being considered to bring LNG much ahead of the completion of land-based terminal.
