Mari Petroleum, PPL announce gas production
Mari Petroleum has announced the commencement of natural gas production from Benari X-1 Field in Shah Bandar Block w.e.f 3rd May 2021.
The country needs more gas produced locally because it is not only a cheaper source of burning but also overall has a soothing impact on the environment as well.
The MPCL holds 32% working interest in Shah Bandar Block whereas PPL is the operator.
Shah Bandar Joint Venture has agreed to process Benari X-1 gas at MPCL’s operated Sujawal Gas Processing Facility for its onward injection into the SSGC network. The expected gas production from the field is 9.5 MMSCFD.
Both Shah Bandar and Sujawal blocks are in District Sujawal, Sindh Province. This arrangement has resulted in the early commercialization of Benari X-1 gas, which shall not only help to lower the overall gas deficit in the national system but will also help in fulfilling national needs from indigenous resources thereby lowering the requirement of expensive imported gas.
