GAS INFRASTRUCTURE IN PAKISTAN

September 2011

Historical Perspective

Gas was discovered in Pakistan in the mid1950s MISL started working with SNGPL & SSGC in mid-1950s by becoming a rep of Dresser Now, Pakistan has the 2nd largest gas infrastructure in the world This sector attracts by far the highest level of foreign direct investments in the country Sui, the first gas field, has become the largest gas field for Pakistan

Sector Organization

State-owned PPL and OGDCL produce around 30 percent and 25 percent, respectively, of the countrys natural gas. The two companies are the countrys largest natural gas producers. OMV is the largest foreign natural gas producer (17 percent of total countrys production) in Pakistan. Additional foreign operators include BP, Eni, and BHP Billiton.

Exploration & Production

Pakistans largest natural gas production occurs at the Sui field PPL operates Sui field, with production averaging 655 Mmcf/d. Additional producing fields include Mari (446 Mmcf/d), Sawan (366 Mmcf/d), and Bhit (316 Mmcf/d). In 2005, BHP Billiton signed a Gas Sales and Purchase Agreement (GSPA), in which the company will supply an additional 150 million cubic feet per day (Mmcf/d) of natural gas from its Zamzama field.

Exploration & Production

Petronas brought its Rehmat field online in March 2005. The field produces an estimated 30 Mmcf/d, which is sold to consumers in Pakistans southern Sindh province. In the past few years, the country discovered seven new natural gas fields. The Pakistani government expects the development of these new fields to add an additional 1 Bcf/d to Pakistan's natural gas production.

Future Outlook for Gas Availability

Natural gas production is expected to decline over the next 15-25 year period, while natural gas demand is expected to increase. There continues aggressive exploration for indigenous oil & gas. Gas Import options Transnational Pipelines
