Gas supply reduced across Titas Gas network until Friday morning

An 18-hour maintenance at an LNG terminal has caused the reduced supply, official says

Authorities have warned of low gas pressure in the distribution network of Titas Gas until Friday morning due to reduced liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply.

According to an emergency message from Titas on Thursday, the gas supply is decreasing due to “urgent maintenance work” at the LNG terminal.

“As a result, gas pressure will be low at all customer ends in the Titas Gas-affiliated areas until 6am on Friday.”

Petrobangla Director (Operations) Md Rafiqul Islam told bdnews24.com, “An LNG terminal is undergoing 18 hours of maintenance, which has reduced the gas supply by about 250 million cubic feet. The maintenance is expected to be completed by midnight.”

Petrobangla has announced that around 900 million cubic feet of gas are being supplied daily from two floating LNG terminals at sea.
