KARACHI: Due to limited gas supply from Bhit and Naimat Basal fields, the Sui Southern Gas Company is facing 40 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) shortfall.
According to the company’s statement, all the supplies of SSGC have also been affected and the utility is receiving calls from people in Karachi and interior Sindh, complaining about low gas pressure. “SSGC’s management is putting in all efforts to improve the supply situation and has taken immediate and effective steps to improve the gas pressure,” it said.
The gas supply to power generation companies – K-Electric and the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) – has been curtailed to improve the gas pressure.
Moreover, gas supply to all CNG stations in Sindh remained discontinued on Friday. All CNG stations in the province will remain open on Saturday.
