Gas Crisis in the Pakistan

 

What is the gas crisis in Pakistan?

The energy crisis is the largest single drain on Pakistan's economy. This crisis stems from a fuel mix transformation initiated two decades ago, when power generation came to rely more on imported furnace oil than hydropower.

Where does Pakistan get its gas from?

Natural gas energy:

The Sui gas field is the biggest natural gas field in Pakistan. It is located near Sui in Balochistan. The gas field was discovered in the late 1952 and the commercial exploitation of the field began in 1955. Sui gas field accounts for 6% of Pakistan's gas production.

Is Pakistan rich in natural gas?

Pakistan holds sizeable shale gas reserves of 105 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), according to the EIA's Technically Recoverable Shale Oil and Shale Gas Resources report published in 2013, and the Pakistani government has provided investment incentives for shale gas development.

The country will have a shortage of 300 to 400 million cubic feet of gas, stoves and heaters will not burn, the government is ordering only 10 cargoes despite the consumption of 18 more gas cargoes. There will be shortage of 300 to 400 million cubic feet of gas in the country, stoves and heaters will not burn, the government is ordering only 10 cargoes despite the consumption of 18 more gas cargoes ۔ According to details, PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif has said that the non-supply of gas and the crisis speaks volumes about the incompetence and indifference of the government. Will not burn

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Leader of the Opposition Shahbaz Sharif, while expressing concern over the crisis of gas shortage in the country, said that the non-supply of natural gas and the crisis speaks volumes about the incompetence and indifference of the government. The cold has not started yet but gas supply to homes and factories has been suspended. What good days has Imran Niazi brought? He said that there will be shortage of 300 to 400 million cubic feet of gas in the country, stoves and heaters will not burn. Hot water for bathing has already been declared a luxury by the present government. Lack of gas will stop the wheel of industries. Non-supply of gas to industries will further increase the pre-existing historical unemployment in the country.

He said that the announcement of supply of gas to the citizens only three times was the indifference and incompetence of the government. The country currently consumes 18 more cargoes but the government is ordering only ten cargoes while more cargoes can come from this infrastructure.
