Mari Energy, one of Pakistan’s largest research and production company, has said that no formal decision has been made about the distribution of gas from Ghazi/Shul reserves, and making it clear that the matter is still under consideration.
The company issued a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Wednesday, saying that the recommendations of a committee headed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister could be finalized. The notice states that “it is clear that there has been no formal decision by the government regarding the amount of guests allocated.”
The debate on the allocation of the guests was raised during a committee meeting on September 16, 2025, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister. According to Mari Energy, the recommendations of the committee will be sent to the Petroleum Division for further consideration before the government’s approval.
According to sources, the federal government has decided to allocate 222 million cubic feet (MMCFD) or indigenous gas daily to three fertilizer plants from the field of gas. This allocation, at the price fixed by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), aims to strengthen urea and DAP prices so that they are suitable for consumers.
The decision was allegedly finalized by the committee and it has to be presented to the Cabinet Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) for approval.
Marri Energy, which operates the field of gas in Gotki district of Sindh, produces gas from several reserves, including Habib Rahi Lime Stone (HRL), Sui Upper/Main Lime Stone (Civil/SML), Ghazij/Shaul, and Guru B.
In 2016, the ECC, with the preference of the fertilizer sector, allowed unused the unused volumes of HRL gas to redirect the unused amount of HRL gas to existing users. Since then, the company has allocated HRL gas, which has actually been allocated for Geno II (Gudu), to photograph a base plant, which has helped to meet the growing demand for the sector.
