New gas reserves discovered in Sindh

Huge reserves of natural gas have been discovered in Sindh as Pakistan struggles to overcome a crippling energy crisis.
According to Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL), the operator of the Block 2568-18 (Gambat South) with 65 percent working interest (WI) along with its joint venture partners Government Holdings (Private) Limited and Asia Resources Oil Limited with 25 percent and 10 percent WI, respectively, discovered gas over its exploration well Wafiq X-1 located in District Sanghar, Sindh.
39 million cubic feet of gas reserves were discovered during drilling of wells in Sanghar. According to initial estimates, 106.8 million cubic feet natural gas would be produced.
This discovery will add more hydrocarbon reserves and also reduce the gap between supply and demand of oil and gas during the current energy crises in the country.
70 percent of natural gas reserves in Pakistan are located in Sindh.
