Russia to construct $2 billion Lahore-Karachi gas pipeline project
Posted : October 18, 2016
ISLAMABAD (APP): Ground breaking ceremonly of the $2 billion North-South gas pipeline project is likely to be performed in December this year, official sources said Tuesday.
Russian businessmen express interest in energy sector investment in Pakistan
“It is expected that the Russian side will submit the financing plan during the current week. The service/BOOT Agreement to be finalized by the end of next month and the groundbreaking is likely in December, 2016,” sources in the Inter State Gas System (ISGS), the official project executing company, told APP.
They informed that Pakistan and Russia had signed the agreement at government-to-government level on October 16, 2015 and the pipeline was being constructed on the Built Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis.
Under the project, a 1122-kilometer pipeline from Karachi to Lahore would be built with Russian investment of $2 billion. The pipeline would connect liquified natural gas (LNG) terminals located in Karachi with those of Lahore.
Pakistan-Russian Armies are rated best in the world: COAS
They said around 1.2 bcfd (billion cubic feet per day) of gas would be transported from Karachi to Lahore through a 42-inch diameter pipeline.
They said the project was of great significance for Pakistan as it would help supply the additional volume of imported gas from the country’s South to rest of the country.
The ISGS, the sources said, had completed the procedure of hiring of consultancy services for the project, which was now in the approval process.
The commercial proposal submitted by the Russia side on August 9, 2016 was under the evaluation process by ISGS and the Price Negotiation Committee had already been constituted by the Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet.
Pakistan offers Russia to join CASA-1000 project
Due to the efforts of the present government, Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) terminal was constructed in Karachi in a record time. Past governments had failed to take concrete steps for the import of LNG to overcome energy and fuel crisis, they remarked.

CPEC set to attract $150b investment in Pakistan
China pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is planned to shoot up for a $ 150 billion investment, And a new whole world of business that will make it the largest economic region, as details of its size and stature are unveiled this week.
The plan is to connect three engines of growth - South Asia, China and Central Asian Republics and aligning it with the entire South, Northern and North-Western regions.
"CPEC will blaze a whole new trail," Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Nawaz Shairf say.
The latest "Summit of top government leaders and Investors" which has just concluded in Islamabad, projects the overall international investment in CPEC, covering 2014 to 2030, will shoot up to $150 billion, terming the $46 billion initial plans for it as just the starters - just the beginning of its phase one. Prime minister Nawaz Shairf, while inaugurating the summit said CPEC is going to change fate of the entire region. He said it will eliminate poverty and unemployment and bring the people up-front into the mainstream of modern and developed countries.
"The CPEC project is the fusion of President Xi's 'one Belt One-Road' with Pakistan's 'Vision 2025', which is sought to harness Pakistan's geo-political position into geo-economic advantage by connecting the three engines of growth - South Asia, China and Central Asia," Sharif said.

Depth of this is similar to Gwader port?

I guess the depth is less than the Gwadar port, Gwadar sea port depth is 18 meters, the deepest in the region. Also Gwadar is a natural deep sea port with no dredging required and no dredging done. Here a lot of dredging done and still going on.
Yes just read the Hutchison terminal here has a depth of 16 meters...

Tunnel excavation of Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower project completed
LAHORE: In what can be termed a significant development towards completion of the strategically important 969 MW-Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project, Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) completed the excavation of left tunnel – one of the critical components of the project.
According to information released to the media on Sunday, the project management achieved this milestone today when it successfully connected the two portions of the left tunnel with an amasing precision. During its mining operation, one of the two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) broke through the left tunnel from downstream side joining it with the portion which had already been excavated through traditional drill-and-blast method from the upstream side.
With this development, the left tunnel system from dam to powerhouse stands excavated. The right tunnel system is scheduled to be excavated by April 2017. Thereafter, the water way system would go for final phase of completion. Once this is done, the project will be ready for pressurising the tunnel system, culminating into wet testing i.e. electricity generation from the project, which is expected in early 2018.
In order to celebrate this landmark achievement vis-à-vis left tunnel, Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project (NJHP) management arranged a simple ceremony at the breakthrough site, inside the tunnel about 6-kilometre from its starting point from upstream side, wherein Wapda Chairman Muzammil Hussain performed the connectivity of the two sections of the left tunnel. NJHP Chief Executive Officer, Project Director and representatives of the consultants and the contractors were present on the occasion.
While congratulating the project management, the consultants and the contractors on completing excavation of the left tunnel, the chairman said Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project is an important project to overcome electricity shortages in the country and add environment-friendly and low-cost hydel electricity to the National Grid. He hoped that with commitment and concerted efforts of the present management of Wapda, this project will be completed in the shortest possible time.
It is pertinent to mention that for evacuation of electricity from Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project and its injection to the National Grid, a 525-KV transmission line is being constructed by National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC), which will join the National Grid at Domeli in district Jhelum through a 145-kilometre long double circuit line. This transmission line will be completed much before Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project goes into operation.
