As such, PLL’s average DES price for six cargos worked out at $10.32 per unit when compared to PSO’s $11.42 per unit. On the other hand, PLL’s one cargo’s price for Qatar LNG stood at $8.6 per unit at the rate of 11.95pc of Brent, but its five other spot cargos ranged between $10.52 and $10.83 per unit. This resulted in PSO’s average price for six cargos going well above PLL’s average price for equal number of cargos. The notification suggests that PSO’s average price of five other cargos from Qatar under a long-term contract was about $9.62 per unit at the rate of 13.37pc of Brent, but the most expensive 6th cargo jacked up its average DES (delivered ex-ship) price at $11.42 per unit. The LNG price notification for August, however, revealed that PSO purchased a cargo of 140,000 cubic meters (about 3.2 million units) at the precise rate of 27.8675pc of Brent or $20.0555 per unit. The two entities - PSO and PLL - have of late stopped publishing their procurement rates, but this $20.05 per unit cargo was never conceded by the government. This comes at a time when the government was justifying $15.5 per million British thermal unit (MMBTU) purchases by Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL), another state-run entity, as the lesser evil when compared with alternative fuels.Īs a result of the expensive LNG cargoes acquired through spot market by the two entities, the weighted average sale price for LNG (excluding GST) was notified by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) at $13.61 per MMBTU for August - up 5.5pc over July prices that were already 25pc expensive when compared to June. Steve Feeney is a freelance writer who lives in Portland.ISLAMABAD: Making a new record, the state-run Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has purchased a cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at $20.055 per unit (almost 27.9pc of Brent), the highest ever not only in the country but perhaps the second highest summer purchase in the world. One could quibble about there being nothing in the program from “Carousel,” a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical set in Maine, nor from the mighty “South Pacific.” But that would be to wrongly suggest that this edition of PSO Pops! was something less than a delight.

Vroman’s take on Sondheim’s “Anyone Can Whistle,” accompanied by Janet Reeves on piano, had most listeners, including many orchestra members, visibly enthralled. Music from Meredith Willson’s “The Music Man” highlighted – what else? – the trombones, while Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns” hit all the melancholy marks. A spirited medley from “Oklahoma!” competed with a selection of tunes from “Flower Drum Song” for melodic richness. Meyer ably led the orchestra in a few instrumental pieces. Vroman also briefly duetted with Meyer, who revealed a fine singing voice, on a piece from Vroman’s years starring in “The Phantom of the Opera.” The two have obviously worked together before and had a playful rapport.

Quickly overcoming an early bit of a microphone rumble, she made “The Sound of Music” come truly alive and later added personalized verses apropos of the theme of “My Favorite Things.” She gave “Love Look Away” the right sort of emotional undercurrent and flashed some burlesque moves during the introduction to Stephen Sondheim’s innocent/knowing “Broadway Baby.”Ī lighthearted take on Irving Berlin’s “I Love a Piano” competed with a deadly funny “To Keep My Love Alive,” a Rodgers & Hart tune, for audience laughs. Before all that, though, she revealed a seasoned vocal style, exhibiting a remarkable feel for the dramatic essence of every piece she sang. Whether dancing playfully across the stage, telling funny backstage stories or engaging in friendly banter with conductor Meyer, the slender soprano was an enchanting presence throughout her extensive stage time. Daniel Meyer, a finalist to replace Robert Moody as the PSO’s music director, helmed the evening, which also featured a stellar performance by guest vocalist Lisa Vroman, a Broadway veteran who is gifted both artistically and as an entertainer.
