SSGC increases gas load-shedding for one-month

KARACHI: The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) on Friday reported a drop of 30 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) in supplies after a field-developed technical fault — a development which would further increase load-shedding in Sindh and Balochistan over the next one month.
“Naimat Basal Gas Field is currently confronted with a technical problem due to which gas supply to SSGC has been reduced by 30 mmcfd,” the company said in a statement.
Gas field management has started rectifying the issue but “it is likely to take another month to fix the issue in its entirety”, it said, adding that in this scenario, gas supply from Naimat Basal will remain affected.-Agencies
