An easy misunderstanding!
'20% of the nation's gas will pass through the PRI'

- true (ish)

'therefore, without the PRI, the nation will be denied 20% of its gas'

- false


The pipeline is already operational at 75 bar and could carry about 16% of the nation's gas. A PRI would enable it to operate at 94 bar, thereby increasing its capacity and permitting 20% of the nation's gas to flow. The effect of the PRI would then relate to 4% of the nation's gas, not 20%.

An important distinction.

NG always uses the first statement.  Could that be because it is the larger figure?
