The Singapore Government introduced controls on import of piped natural gas (PNG) to allow the build-up of demand for LNG.  The Government will consult the industry and review the PNG import control policy when the LNG import reaches 3 Mtpa or in year 2018, whichever is earlier.

The gas import control has been in effect since 21 Aug 2006. Please refer to the information paper on Policy on Gas Import Control of 26 December 2006 and Addendum to Information Paper on Policy on Gas Import Control of 2 Mar 2011.
