January 03, 2007 - Bharat Petroleum and state-run Gas Authority of India Ltd. signed a deal with the National Iranian Gas Export Co. in June 2005 to buy five million tons of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) at $3.125 per Million British Thermal unit (mBtu) cap price. But now, the price quotations have changed. Both the parties are now agreeing to pay $4.775 per mBtu.
The Iranian side has been persisting that the June pact is off unless the gas price is revised. A GAIL spokesperson said that though they have all the legal rights to sue them for not respecting a signed pact, they don’t want any complications in the matter now.
As per the agreement, Iran was supposed to charge 6.5% of the Brent crude oil price at the loading time of each shipment and a fixed price of $1.2 per mBtu at $31 per barrel Brent price. For the first two years, a 10% discount was given, resulting to the price of $2.9 per mBtu from 2009 to the year 2011.
