 The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics( PIDE) quoted the OGDCL and said that the current gas reserves will only last 15 times if the consumption remains at the current situations until 2030. 

 It made these assessments about the country’s oil painting and gas reserves in its recent exploration detail called ‘ Gas heads in Pakistan ’. The PIDE also revealed that while gas is the country’s third largest energy resource encyclopedically, it contributes a share that's lower than one percent of the global gas consumption with its30.6 billion boxy measures of natural gas. 

Pakistan substantially fulfills its energy needs with imported and indigenous coffers in the rate of 4456 independently. Both the imported Liquefied Natural Gas( LNG) and natural gas make up over 40 percent of the country’s present gas consumption. 

 lately, Pakistan’s gas demand has soared while gas product and disquisition have fallen and LNG’s nonsupervisory and functional structure is ineffective, performing in a countrywide deficit and advanced force costs. 

As per its data, 78 percent of Pakistani homes don't have access to natural gas as it requires a huge investment. Its consumption in the domestic sector has surged by 11 percent throughout the times. 

 likewise, supplying gas to the domestic sector has a advanced cost than the assiduity and power sectors. 

The PIDE also stated that overall 15 disquisition and product companies serve in 55 gas fields across the country. A large part of the country remains unexplored because of security issues, and the PIDE nominated the Pishin receptacle in Balochistan a ‘ precious block ’ where no disquisition has been done because of the law and order situation. 

 It also stressed the need for competition in Pakistan’s gas distribution assiduity, as there are only two state- possessed enterprises in this sector — the Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited( SNGPL) and the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited( SSGCL). 

 According to its exploration, the indirect debt in the gas sector has also surpassedRs.1.5 trillion due to backups performing from politically favored allocations and monopolistic business functions.
