Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) Managing Director Arif Hameed announced on Saturday that SNGPL would take stern action against gas thieves, adding that gas had been restored to industries. Hameed told reporters that the decision to close Qadirpur gas fields for Annual Turn Around (ATA) for 20 days i.e. from August 29 to September 16 had been reversed as special interest from Federal Petroleum Minister Dr Asim Hussain made Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) agree for an eight days closure i.e. from August 29 to September 7.
Hameed said Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) would stay closed for three days from Monday, adding that the company would review this new plan and might shift to a two and a half day closure if gas was available. “CNG sector is already following a two and a half day load management plan before Eid,” he said, adding that CNG had not been closed during Eid.
