Whichever company wins the contract for this oil and gas discovery, it should be made mandatory for the contractor by the government that they will provide employment, hospitals, schools and housing for the local people. The contracts should not be one sided in favour of the contractor profiteering for itself and our beauracracy for years to come.

Every country has such reserves but the cost of exploration and extraction makes these discoveries financially irrecoverable.

SPEC ENERGY got a stay order. PPL has many outstanding invoices and are illegally trying to overtake the project. PPL is abusing its power.

Please move on, this is nothing. Pakistan currently produces 80,000 bbl and the requirement per day is 650,000 bbls. What is 120 bbl per day? Moreover the gas discovery is also minimal 10.4 MMCf whereas the cconsumption per day is 8000 MMcf
