Moheshkhali: The LNG terminal operated by Excelerate Energy at Moheshkhali, which had been out of service for the past two weeks due to a technical fault, has resumed operation. Dr. Rafiqul Islam, member (operation) of Petrobangla, stated that approximately 115 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of gas is being supplied today following the resumption of operation of the Floating Storage and Regasification unit (FSRU).

According to United News of Bangladesh, the gas supply is expected to increase by 750 to 800 mmcfd by tonight. The gas crisis began after LNG imports through the Excelerate Energy terminal were suspended on July 21 due to a technical fault.

The disruption significantly reduced LNG regasification capacity, as Bangladesh has been relying on only one operational FSRU for imports since another terminal has remained out of service. Petrobangla officials indicated that another LNG cargo has already arrived in Bangladeshi waters and is expected to begin unloading from Friday, which will allow the terminal to supply between 20 million and 30 million cubic feet of gas per day.
