  "account": "Pakistan is seeking two liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes for December and January to prepare for the upcoming winter season, according to a tender notice issued by state-owned Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) on Thursday. The first cargo is expected to be delivered between December 14-16, 2026, while the second cargo will be delivered between January 9-11, 2027.
