The Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina Wazed, said the southwest Asian country needed urgent supplies of liquefied natural gas from the spot market even at high prices to help meet the growing demand for natural gas for power generation.
Reliance Industries of India and BP of the UK said a second natural gas field had come on stream ahead of the mid-2021 schedule in the Krishna Godavari Basin offshore the Indian East Coast, adding to the nation’s gas supply in addition to LNG shipments.
