Energy Minister Dr. Abdulhussain bin Ali Mirza announced that the National Oil and Gas Authority (NOGA) received bids from nine international companies to import 400 million to 800 million cubic feet of liquefied natural gas (LPG) per day.
“NOGA will evaluate the bids and the winning company will be announced later this year,” the Minister in a statement said, quoted by the Bahrain News Agency on Saturday.
“The participation of major international companies in the tender reflects the strong trust in the kingdom despite recent incidents,” Dr Mirza added.
“A special berth will be built near Khalifa Bin Salman Port to accommodate gas tankers, he also said, adding that Bahrain’s daily gas consumption is 1.3 billion cubic feet.”
