No Aramco site has been commissioned anywhere in Pakistan so far, and a formal announcement will be made in this regard at an appropriate time.

This was stated by Zeeshan Tayyeb, Chief Operating Officer, Gas & Oil Pakistan Ltd (GO), in response to a misleading picture and news circulating on social media.

GO, a business partner of the Saudi oil giant Aramco in Pakistan, has said that no site has been commissioned and the picture is of some other site outside Pakistan.
