Petronet LNG (PLL) and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) have entered into a 15-Years Ethane Unloading, Storage and Handling (USH) Services Binding Term Sheet (commencing between October – December 2028 and ending on the fifteenth anniversary of the commencement date).
PLL is developing ethane unloading, storage and handling facilities with ethane storage tank capacity of approx. 1,70,000 Cubic Meters at Dahej, Gujarat. PLL is also constructing a unique third jetty at Dahej which will be capable of handling Ethane and Propane in addition to LNG.
As per the term sheet, ONGC shall reserve capacity of approximately 600 KTPA at PLL’s Ethane storage and handling facilities at Dahej, Gujarat. PLL shall receive, store and handle Ethane sourced and imported by ONGC/its subsidiary or affiliates at Dahej, Gujarat and redeliver Ethane to ONGC at the Delivery Point. The term sheet shall form basis for definitive agreements between the parties.
As per the commitments under the binding term sheet, PLL is expected to earn a gross revenue of about Rs 5,000 crore over the total contract duration of 15 years.
