Natural gas constitutes about 52% of the total national energy mix in Pakistan today.
Demand is projected to continue to increase at an aggressive rate, growing nearly three times from 1.3 tcf per year in 2005 to nearly 3.9 tcf by 2025. The Government of Pakistan is therefore keenly pursuing local and/or international participation for the development of Pakistan's energy sector, particularly by supplementing indigenous supplies of natural gas with imported LNG and by means of Transnational Pipelines, connecting Pakistan to regional sources of supply.
All interested parties and stakeholders are encouraged to register themselves for the workshop, by phone or through email, with the following: Ms Tania Kasim, ABN-Amro Bank NV, Karachi, Pakistan.
