“To maintain uninterrupted supply, letters of credit have already been opened for seven oil shipments by March 2,” he said. LNG shipments also uncertainThe disruption has also raised concerns about liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports. Gas supply adjustmentsTo manage the uncertainty, Petrobangla has decided to reduce gas supply by around 200 million cubic feet per day, which is expected to save roughly 1,400 million cubic feet of gas over the next week. According to Petrobangla sources, about 170 million cubic feet of gas per day is currently supplied to fertilizer plants. Authorities are considering suspending that supply temporarily while also reducing gas allocation to the power sector from 870 million cubic feet to 820 million cubic feet per day.
