KARACHI: With the completion of the annual turnaround of the upstream Kunnar-Pasakhi Deep (KPD) gas field, SSGC will now be in a position to resume its normal supply to its customers. Now back online, KPD is currently providing 100 mmcfd to SSGC and would gradually ramp up its volume till 7th of July when it would start supplying the full quantum of the normal 177 mmcfd gas.

During the closure of KPD that caused considerable inconvenience to the customers, in order to ensure sustained future supplies of natural gas, the company implemented the Government of Pakistan’s Gas Load Management Plan of 2018 whereby the domestic and commercial customers were given top sectoral priority in provision of gas, followed by other sectors. 

Being the leading downstream company, SSGC has always shown firm commitment towards providing uninterrupted gas supply to all its categories of customers. The Company is happy to announce that that the worst is over, thanks in part to its customers who fully cooperated with the gas utility during the maintenance work of KPD.—PR
