ISLAMABAD: Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) has stepped up efforts to unlock value from its stranded and low British thermal unit (BTU) gas reserves, with a renewed focus on accelerating development of the Zin Gas Field.
As part of this initiative, OGDC is actively engaging with the Government of Balochistan to explore the utilisation of Zin’s low BTU gas for industrial clusters and fertiliser projects. The move is aimed at promoting regional economic development while bringing underutilised indigenous energy resources into productive use.
In a further push to advance the project, OGDC has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Uch Power Limited to jointly evaluate the technical and commercial feasibility of using Zin gas for power generation. The collaboration is expected to support innovative and sustainable energy solutions, particularly in regions with limited access to conventional fuels.
These strategic efforts highlight OGDC’s commitment to maximising the potential of local hydrocarbon resources through targeted investments and partnerships. The company aims to enhance energy security, stimulate economic growth, and deliver long-term value to Pakistan’s energy sector by tapping into challenging gas reserves such as Zin.
