Energy Division

Pakistan depends on natural gas to meet nearly half of its energy needs. Oil takes care of nearly 30% of its requirements. As a country, Pakistan remains underexplored for oil compared to the rest of the world largely because power generated from river resources (hydel power) and natural gas are cheaper to develop:[1] Jehangir Saifullah Khan is in charge of day-to-day operations in the Energy Division.[1]
