Independent Report

QUETTA: The General Manager Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC), Farooq Khan has stated that the total requirement of gas for Sindh and Balochistan is 1200 to 1250 MMCFD, however, we are getting supply of 700 MMCFD, this means there is a gap between demand and supply, which is increasing.

He said that the demand of gas is more and supply is less.

The General Manager SSGC was speaking to the media persons on launch of awareness campaign about the careful use of sui gas here outside the SSGC main office on Thursday.

Also present on the occasion were other senior officials and employees of SSGC.

The General Manager SSGC maintained that the reservoirs of gas are decreasing in the country. Due to this, the gas supply issue is mounting with every passing day, he added.

To a query, he mentioned that the sui gas load shedding is not observed by the SSGC, rather only load management is done.

He said that gas related mishaps are occurred due to the use of sub-standard pipes, heaters and compressors, so these must be avoided.

Referring the awareness campaign of SSGC, the GM said that it is aimed at making the general public aware about proper use of the gas and precautionary measures in this regard.
