Investment Opportunities
 Over 80 % of Pakistan’s energy needs are met by indigenous gas and oil production supplemented by imports. Gas contributes around 50 percent in the mix or around 40 % on the overall basis. The energy consumption growth rate is predicted at 8 % annually for the mid-term 2008 to 2010.
Though indigenous oil production is modest at 63,000 BPD and is supplemented by imports to the tune of US 2.5 to 3.5 billion per year, gas production is around 3.5 BCF per day and has tangible potential of enhancement to meet the growing demands.
With 26.8 TCF of proven gas reserves and a potential of discovering in mid-term horizon, more gas deposits conservatively predicted at 50 TCF, the sector offers excellent investment opportunities.
PEL’s suite of very promising acreage holdings together with investment friendly policies of the Government of Pakistan with sovereign guarantees offer excellent opportunities to invest and become a petroleum exploration and development partner with PEL.
PEL offers an array of proposals ranging from partnerships to joint ventures to strategic investment projects both on on-shore and off-shore basis.
Future Developments
