Engro Vopak and S&P Global Energy are assessing Pakistan’s first refrigerated LPG import and storage facility to strengthen supply, storage capacity, and long-term energy security.
Engro Vopak Terminal Limited (EVTL) has partnered with S&P Global Energy to conduct a feasibility study for expanding Pakistan’s liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) infrastructure, including the potential development of the country’s first refrigerated LPG import and storage facility.
The study will assess options for establishing large-scale refrigerated LPG infrastructure to strengthen Pakistan’s energy supply chain by expanding import capacity, increasing storage capabilities, and enabling access to larger LPG cargoes from international markets.
According to EVTL, Pakistan’s LPG consumption has grown steadily over the past decade and is expected to continue rising as households, commercial tartan and industries increasingly rely on LPG amid declining natural gas production.
The proposed infrastructure is intended to improve supply chain resilience by providing greater flexibility in sourcing LPG from global markets while supporting the country’s long-term energy requirements.
The feasibility assessment will examine the technical and commercial viability of refrigerated LPG storage and import facilities, which would allow Pakistan to receive larger international shipments and maintain higher storage levels. Enhanced storage capacity could also improve supply management and reduce vulnerabilities associated with fluctuations in global energy markets.
The collaboration brings together EVTL’s local operational experience with S&P Global Energy’s market expertise to evaluate infrastructure solutions aligned with international standards and future energy demand.
Syed Ammar Shah, Chief Executive Officer of Engro Vopak Terminal Limited and Engro Elengy Terminal Limited, said strengthening Pakistan’s LPG supply chain and improving access to global markets will become increasingly important as the country’s energy needs continue to evolve.
He added that the initiative combines the global expertise of Royal Vopak of the Netherlands with Engro’s engineering capabilities and understanding of the local market to explore infrastructure solutions suited to Pakistan’s future energy landscape.
The feasibility study represents an early step toward evaluating investments that could expand Pakistan’s LPG import and storage network. If found viable, refrigerated LPG infrastructure could support larger import volumes, improve supply reliability, and enhance the country’s ability to meet growing energy demand through diversified fuel sources.
The assessment will provide the basis for determining the potential development of Pakistan’s first refrigerated LPG import and storage facility as part of broader efforts to strengthen national energy infrastructure.
