Natural Gas In Pakistan 


Pakistan is very fortunate to have large reserves of natural gas. The search for oil resulted in the discovery of gas in 1952 at Sui, Balochistan. Since then, several gas fields have been found. The largest gas field is at Sui and the second largest at Marri. From Sui, gas is piped to Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and Quetta.

Other fields discovered in the country provide gas to many of our towns and cities.
After water, natural gas is Pakistan’s second most important source of energy. In 1999-2000 over 23,159 million cubic meters of gas were produced. In 1999 it was estimated that there were 492 billion cubic meters of natural gas reserves. Natural gas is used in our industries and for domestic purposes.

It is very important that we value these natural resources and use them carefully. We should not waste water through leaks or by leaving taps neither dripping, nor waste gas by leaving the burners on. Gas leaks can also be very dangerous as they can be fatal and can cause fires.
