During PPP time Qatar deal was costing around $18/btu while IP was around $13. Like previously mentioned, international market Gas prices are all time low, $2.13/MMBtu. if you negotiate with Iranian, IP has to be half the price of Qatar since it doesn't requires transportation and all other costly shenanigans like liquefaction. Qatar LNG $5.5 is more than twice as expensive as gas in the international market.

You are comparing well head prices with delivered prices..independent observers have termed qatar deal as world cheapest LNG order..it is based on 13.35% of Brent prices..so brent goes down...LNG goes down..operating long distance pipe lines is a risky and expensive ordeal..Qatar deal only covers 20% of our gas requirements...there IP and TAPI piple line to go as well..
From talk shows to internet forums..ignorant Pakistanis are jack of all trades..never seizing to amaze me with their stupidity...between having no gas and expensive gas..the expensive gas option is the best practical feasibility..we can reduce our expenditure by making consumption more efficiency..starting with each house hold..replace those bulky water heaters with more efficiency inline models which only consume gas when tap is opened..and do not store a 100 liters of preheated water as reserve..then is industrial consumption where efficiency can be raised by big margin...
