LONDON - Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) has extended thebid submission deadline for liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers seeking to participate in its 12-cargo buy tender by two days to Oct. 31, trade sources said.

Last week EGAS announced plans to bring in 12 LNG cargoes in the first quarter of 2018, with three of those cargoes set to be imported via a Jordanian import terminal.
