ISLAMABAD – Gas supply to fertilisers and Independent Power Producers (IPPs) will resume shortly.
Secretary Petroleum and Natural Resources Imtiaz Kazi said that the country was facing a daily gas shortfall of 900 million mmcfd against a total production of 4.20 billion mmcfd. He said that security problems were a hindrance to get 40 million mmcfd of gas production from reservoirs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
He added, as per contract dated 1983, that gas to the industry would be supplied for nine months only and there was no commitment to supply gas during December to February.
