The ongoing crisis in the region has led to a decline in liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, exacerbating the gas shortage in the country. Pakistan is facing a severe gas shortage, with a sharp decline in gas pressure recorded in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The shortage is attributed to a significant increase in system-wide LNG shortfalls, reaching 700 million cubic feet per day.
According to a spokesperson for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), the company expects to receive 72 million cubic feet of gas per day from its new wells. This development is expected to help reduce the country’s reliance on imported energy and mitigate the effects of the crisis. However, the shortage is expected to worsen, affecting household consumers in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where gas pressure has plummeted during breakfast and dinner hours.
