Brunei offers to export 12-18 LNG cargoes annually to Bangladesh under 10-year contract.


There are widespread allegations that the then-state minister for energy and power Nasrul Hamid was opposing the offer as his business interests were best served by LNG supply from the international spot market

Brunei has proposed a long-term agreement to export 12 to 18 liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes annually to Bangladesh under a 10-year contract. This offer reflects growing energy cooperation between the two nations, particularly as Bangladesh seeks to diversify its LNG supply sources to meet increasing energy demands.



The deal would provide Bangladesh with a consistent LNG supply to address its energy shortages, supporting its industrial and economic growth. For Brunei, this arrangement would strengthen its position as a reliable LNG supplier in South Asia and enhance its trade ties with Bangladesh.



Negotiating such contracts involves considerations of pricing, delivery schedules, and the capacity of both parties to fulfill their obligations. If finalized, this agreement could be a significant milestone in energy collaboration for both countries.
