UPDATE 2-SOCAR offers record-low spot price in Pakistan LNG buy tender


SINGAPORE, July 28 (Reuters) - SOCAR Trading has placed the lowest offer into a spot buy tender by Pakistan LNG Ltd for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo for delivery in late August, according to a notice posted on the Pakistani company’s website.

SOCAR’s offer for the cargo is about 5.74% of Brent crude oil prices, according to the document.

This works out to about $2.20 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) for the cargo to be delivered over Aug. 27 to 28 and is a record low LNG price secured by the Pakistani company, Pakistan LNG said on its Twitter account.


This is lower than the Asian LNG spot price LNG-AS for August which on Friday was estimated to be about $2.35 per mmBtu.


Three other companies who had technically qualified for the tender placed offers ranging from 7.8% to 10.4% of Brent crude oil prices. They are Gunvor Singapore, PetroChina International Singapore and Trafigura, according to the notice.

The prices are expressed in the document as a “slope” of crude oil prices, a percentage of the Brent crude price, and are typically a pointer for the opaque spot LNG market.

Pakistan LNG has a separate tender to buy two LNG cargoes for delivery in September. That tender closes on Aug. 4.

LNG and petroleum prices generall go hand in hand with each other. Nonetheless, they can go different routes as well. There are very complex situations affecting gas prices depending where from and what time of the yeardeals are made. USA market is rife with the cheapest gas for mega large reserves and production.
