Sept 14 (LNGJ) - Two Qatargas LNG shipments are headed for the UK South Hook import terminal at Milford Haven in Wales over the next week. That's as the National Balancing Point natural gas price was staying firm at around the equivalent of $3.55 per million British thermal units. The 210,100 cubic metres capacity Q-Flex carrier, the “Al Ghariya”, is scheduled to arrive on September 19 followed on September 21 by the 210,100 cubic metres capacity “Al Sheehanyia”, according to the port authorities.

Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the South Hook LNG import terminal that created an “energy bridge” from the Middle East to the United Kingdom and was built at a cost of more than $1 billion to handle up to 20 percent of UK natural gas needs.
