Pak energy demand to reach 361MT of oil equivalent by ’30

Pakistan’s energy demand has been estimated to reach 361 million tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) by 2030 and this huge surge could pose a serious threat to the future development programmes, a senior government official told Daily Times.

Without ensuring the security of energy supplies, the development programmes would collapse, said the official. The cumulative oil and gas exploratory effort in Pakistan so far has been very small. He said that an official study indicated that less than one well per 1000 kms is drilled in Pakistan against the world average of 10 wells in the same distance.
