Exploration of shale gas from next month: Babar
[DAWN] Prime Minister’s Special Assistant Nadeem Babar on Tuesday called for closure of the country’s existing petroleum refineries for being obsolete and said the shale gas exploration in the country would begin next month.Speaking at the inaugural session of the Annual Technical Symposium and Exhibition of the oil and gas companies, Babar said "the existing technology being utilised in the country’s refineries is obsolete and such refineries need to be closed down entirely or phased out, rendering the current refining methods outdated". On its part, he said the government was working towards setting up two new major refineries and ensuring upgradation of another ‐ Pakistain Refinery Ltd at Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... ‐ with the support of the international investors from the Middle East and China.
