@ Will "GN" was clear, dT was more or less probable, but that this could be mismatched with "Dinar Tunisien" is another point. I didn't know that the context referred to Tunesia. And that 'inv' stands for investment is a surprise, but could make sense.

@Will GN/NG= gaz naturel/natural gas (used in domestic and industrial heating etc. ) as opposed to GNL= Gaz naturel liquide/LNG liquid natural gas (mostly used in transportation, as truck fuel)

Addendum to 'GN', DT, inv, dth and th Thank you all very much for your insight. It helped to 'solve the murder of the Acronym/Abbreviation case' that we all have to solve constantly: since then, I have found in a later segment that 'DT' is 'Dinar tunisien - Tunisian Dinar
(the author often puts 'dt' or 'DT'). dth/th are, as you pointed out, dekatherm/therm, resp. Inv I have discovered as I continue into the author's inconsistent writing and abbreviating, is 'investissement' in this case.

@ Will Did you ask the client on beforehand?

Regarding the term "GN" I am quite sure that it deals with natural gas. Cf. "LNG" our "GNL" in French.

Excellent exemple Ce petit bout de texte truffé d'abréviations et d'acronymes démontre hors de tout doute la nécessité d'expliquer un acronyme ou une abréviation lorsqu'il ou elle apparaît dans un texte pour une première fois. C'est tellement plus léger à lire quand c'est clair. :)
