ISLAMABAD: The Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) will receive additional 38 Million Cubic Feet per Day (MMCFD) gas to meet its demands, as the federal cabinet has ratified the decisions of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) taken in this regard.
According to sources, the federal cabinet met on Tuesday under the chair Prime Minister Imran Khan to take certain important decisions, including ratification of ECC decisions taken in its Oct 28 meeting.
As per the sources, additional allocation of 38mmcfd gas will help SSGC meet its demands, besides enabling the company to avert the looming gas crisis.
Talking to this scribe, an SSGC official, on condition of anonymity, confirmed the decision taken by the cabinet for additional allocation of gas to SSGC, adding that a notification in this regard would be issued soon.
The Petroleum Division had earlier approached the ECC to accord a formal approval for allocation of 38mmcfd gas from three new wells (Rehman 6, 7 & 8) to SSGCL. The ECC, in its Oct 28 meeting, had considered the Petroleum Division’s summary and approved the same.
Rehman gas field is being operated by Polish Oil and Gas Company (PGNiNG SA) located in district Daddu. The joint venture comprises PGNiG SA with 70pc share and Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) with 30pc share. The company had requested the Petroleum Division to allocate additional gas volumes under commercial production to the government nominated buyer i-e SSGC.

What a pretty situation for Pakistan.
A country claimed to be full of natural resources is now so much dry and depend on imports of LNG ans very low volume fields. Now 35 mmcd gas allocation is being done at highest level of our country.
More than this has been theft and drain through leakage. All utilities are responsible for loss and inefficiencies.
Ask non experience DMD of SSGC working as head of operation.
What is his job? when he will reduce line losses if you ask him he will not be able to answer files and volumes from each POD.

What about unbundling has decided?
PTI Govt failed to managed these two strategic public sector organizations. These organizations being manged casulay and managing without permanent Managing Directors. Sorry state of affairs and it appears this selected govt being directed and governed from some where else. The energy minister failed to reduce circular debts. Recoveries from KE not yet settled. This govt failed to managed such a critical sector of economy and public importance. Efforts to explore indigenous gas also not taken therefore we would be depending on imported gas which is more expensive. Reforms in Consumer price strucure also not carried out. People who lives in mehals paying same gas charges as who lives in jugees. Residential gas charges are very low even less than monthly charges of Cable and water bill which shows this sacred resource has no financial value for people who are managing these organizations. People who are in power and running this country please wake up and do not make these organizations another pakistan steel or PIA. Gas water electricity are basic amenities and it is responsibility of state to provide in such a manner that affluent class to pay more and poor to be subsidized. people living in big houses in defence cantonment askaris to pay more for such services and people living in small houses should pay less. this would be real insaf by PTI
