PESHAWAR: The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has discovered substantial natural gas reserves in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The newly discovered reserves are expected to produce up to 2.14 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, marking a notable contribution to the country’s domestic energy resources. This discovery is anticipated to enhance Pakistan’s energy self-sufficiency and help alleviate ongoing energy challenges.
OGDCL is currently overseeing some of the country’s largest exploration projects with government backing. The company continues to expand its exploration activities in the mining sector, focusing on identifying additional natural resource deposits.
Industry experts suggest this discovery could have beneficial implications for the regional energy landscape, potentially reducing dependency on imported energy sources. The development aligns with Pakistan’s broader strategy to enhance its domestic energy production capabilities.
OGDCL officials indicate that further exploration activities are underway, with promising prospects for additional discoveries in the region.
