Rawalpindi:The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) dealers are now finding it hard to cater to the needs of the consumers in ongoing winter season.
When the people started facing low gas pressure they turned towards alternative sources like coal, firewood and LPG. But now the LPG dealers in various areas of the city are not able to cater to the needs of the consumers.

Toyo Engineering Corp. (Tokyo), Irkutsk Oil Company (IOC), Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. (JOGMEC) and Itochu Corp. agreed on a joint feasibility study related to the development of the blue ammonia value chain between eastern Siberia and Japan. Blue ammonia is CO2-free ammonia produced by conventional ammonia production processes with CCS (CO2 capture and storage) to isolate CO2 into underground reservoirs
The project aims to establish a future blue ammonia value chain at a commercial scale. Ammonia is liquefied under relatively mild conditions, (around –33 deg. C) in ambient pressure, or 8.5 atm in ambient temperature. Since this condition is similar to that of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) liquefaction, ammonia can be stored and transported with similar infrastructure for LPG storage and transportation. Ammonia is expected to be used as fuel for power plants that require huge amount of energy. The parties are willing to prepa

Nigeria like other countries had begun the 2020 business year on a very promising note. The Nigeria oil and gas industry entered the year basking in the euphoria of a major milestone that was recorded in the twilight of 2019 –the eventual signing of the Final Investment Decision (FID) for the seventh plant or train 7 of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG).

The year 2020 has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult years for the oil and gas industry globally in the last few decades.
It saw the Coronavirus pandemic grip nations across the globe, necessitating countries and states to lock down their borders for some time, thereby preventing movement of persons, goods and services for months unless under special circumstances.
This restriction of movement affected many sectors of the economy, but one of the worst hit was the oil and gas industry which fuels mobility of mankind and businesses across the globe.
With a sharp drop in air and land movement, the demand for Jet A1 (Aviation fuel) , Diesel and Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol declined drastically.
