As Pakistan’s gas production remains stuck at the same level for several years. the current government has started banking on energy imports to bridge the widening shortfall.
To lay the groundwork and streamline imported gas supplies. the public gas utilities have poured billions of rupees into building a new network of pipelines to reach more consumers.
At present. Pakistan has an extensive gas pipeline network spread over 12.202 km for transmission and 119.736 km for distribution of gas to cater to needs of more than 8.4 million consumers across the country.
The country produces about 4 billion cubic feet of gas per day. a level that has remained unchanged for years. though demand is growing consistently. particularly in winter.
According to the Pakistan Economic Survey 2016-17. LNG imports amounted to 129.092.714 million British thermal units (mmbtu) in July-March of financial year 2017 compared to 62.373.272 mmbtu in the corresponding period of previous year.
