CHAPTER 2 ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESS DURING

THE YEAR 2006-07 2.1 DEVELOPMENT WING - MINISTRY

2.1.1 LIBERALIZATION OF OIL AND GAS SECTOR

i The public sector oil and gas entities have been made independent. The Board of Directors of these companies have been given complete autonomy to operate on commercial lines without interference. As a result, the performance of the companies has improved significantly.

ii In pursuance to issuance of “LNG Policy April 2006”, SSGC

initiated the process for appointment of a potential project developer. In this regard, the timelines for receiving contractual and technical proposals upto June 2007 were successfully achieved.

2.1.2 PRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC SECTOR ENTITIES

i. GOP has decided in principle to privatize PSOCL, OGDCL, PPL, SNGPL and SSGCL. Government has also divested its minority shareholding in seven oil fields.

2.1.3 REGULATORY REFORMS

i Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) was established under OGRA Ordinance in March 2002 with expressed objectives of fostering, competition, increasing private investment and ownership in midstream and downstream petroleum sector and protecting public interest through effective, efficient and equitable regulation. OGRA is playing an important role in the implementation of government’s comprehensive reforms programme of Oil & Gas Sector.

ii Government Holdings Company Limited has been established to

manage the Government’s investments in the upstream sector. 2.1.4 REGIONAL GAS PIPELINES

i. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources after assessing future demand/supply, concluded that indigenious gas reserves of the country will not be sufficient to meet the increasing demand beyond 2010. The Ministry therefore is exploring the possibility to import gas from the neighbouring countries that is Iran, Qatar, and Turkministran and is working on all of the possible options.

8

2.1.5 GAS IMPORT PROJECTS

i The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources has been

pursuing the import of gas through pipeline and LNG projects from the neighbouring region that is Iran, Turkmenistan and Qatar. These projects are being actively discussed at different level Working Groups/Committees constituted from time to time.

ii In the last one year two meetings of Pakistan-Iran Working Group

and two meetings of Pakistan-India Joint Working Group have been held on Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline project.

iii Similarly, 8th Steering Committee meeting of Turkmenistan-

Afghanistan-Pakistan (TAP) Gas Pipeline Project was held in April, 2005 in Islamabad and 9th meeting is being scheduled in the 3rd/ 4th Quarter of October, 2005 in Ashgabat.

iv 1st meeting of the Technical Working Committee of MPNR and

Qatar Petroleum on GUSA gas pipeline project has been held in June, 2005 in Doha, Qatar and 2nd meeting of the committee is being scheduled during the last week of September, 2005 in Islamabad.

v Ministry has successfully completed Comparative Evaluation of

the Gas Import Projects by appointing a consultant through Asian Development Bank (ADB) to prioritize the available gas import options.

vi In order to ensure safe and secure world class pipeline and LNG

import projects, MPNR has already appointed a Financial Advisor for LNG import and for transborder pipeline project, a separate Financial Advisory Consortium is likely to be appointed, shortly.

2.1.6 Public Sector Development Programmes/Projects

Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resoruces has been allocated a sum of Rs. 929.92 million in PSDP for the Financial year 2006-07. Detail of on-going/new projects are at Annexure -V

2.2 MINERAL WING - MINISTRY In order to encourage investment in the mineral sector, the government has assigned priority to the sector and has also given number of fiscal and regulatory incentives in the mining sector, so that the sector can contribute its due share in the GDP which is at present less than 1% whereas, international studies have reflected the contribution of about 3-4% in the national economy. With the implementation of National Mineral Policy (NMP), for the first time the Mineral Sector has taken a forward stride. International mining companies have

9

responded favourably to the Policy and three major mineral projects are in production/under implementation which would enhance the share of sector in national economy. However, in geological data generation and mineral exploration, FDI is minimal. Data generated by Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) is not being utilized to the extent of promotion, aiming and attracting international investment. The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resource in coordination with the provinces and Special Areas and with the support of other stakeholders is striving to develop the Mineral Sector on fast track basis. International development partners are being persuaded to assist the provinces in capacity building, acquaintances, deployment of latest mineral exploration technologies and to further improve the Regulatory regime facilitating inflow of foreign direct investment. The significant projects/initiatives are described as under:

2.2.1 ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE MINISTRY: Special Initiatives i) Feasibility Study on Gasification of Thar Coal, District

Tharparkar, Sindh

To harness large Thar coal deposits as alternate source of energy, the Ministry endeavored to explore utilization options. One of such option is determining techno-economic viability of converting coal into pipeline quality gas and extraction of high unit value chemicals. For conducting the Feasibility Study under a development project an international consultant M/s Lurgi of South Africa has been selected. The study is comprised of Phase I and Phase II. The consultant has successfully completed Phase 1A (Laboratory Study) of the Study. The consultant has been asked to initiate work on the Phase 1B (Conceptual Study). The Feasibility Study will be completed in 2008-09.

ii) Feasibility Study for development and exploration of Chechali iron

ore and commissioning of Steel Mill at Kalabagh

The project is aiming to ascertain techno-economic viability of utilizing iron ore for setting up of Steel Mill at Kalabagh. The study has been awarded to a Chinese company M/s MCC. The consultant has completed Laboratory Study of the project and has demarcated zones amenable to upgradation. Work on the project is in progress to ascertain economic viability of Chichali iron ore deposit. The study will be completed in 2008-09.

iii) Strategy on Development and Exploitation of Gemstones

To tap full gemstone potential as a source of foreign exchange, and as a part of implementation of strategy on “Mining, Cutting, Polishing and Marketing of Gemstones” approved by the Cabinet, the Ministry has sponsored project valuing Rs.100 million for imparting training to locals of gem bearing areas of NWFP, AJK and Northern Areas in flawless mining. The projects are being implemented by the Govt. of NWFP, AJK and Northern Areas. Under the project about 500 locals of

10

these areas have been trained in mechanized mining, grading, processing of gemstones. Work on the projects in NWFP and Northern Areas is in progress.

iv) Basic Training in Gemstone Cutting and Polishing Centres in

Gilgit and Muzaffarabad

As a follow up of the strategy for developing cutting and polishing skill in gem bearing area it was decided to establish two training centers at Muzaffarabad and Gilgit. Under the project codal formalities have been initiated to select a consultancy firm having developed expertise in gemstone cutting and polishing. Ministry has finalized training programmes with Sri Lankan government. In this regard a high level delegation visited Sri Lanka to finalize a training programme of the locals of AJ&K and Northern Areas.

2.2.2 Restructuring of the Federal Mineral Sector Organizations

a) Restructuring of Geological Survey of Pakistan b) Restructuring of Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation

(PMDC) c) Privatization of PMDC Projects d) Evaluation of Nokundi iron ore through Bolan Mining

Enterprises e) The Ministry has secured international assistance (World

Bank) for development of Mineral Sector in the following areas:

• Capacity building – Institutional Strengthening

• Generation of basic geological data

• Development of Small Scale Mining (SSM) in gemstones/coal

• Development of exploration targets into investment opportunities.

2.2.3 INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT FACILITATED IN MINERAL SECTOR

As per policy of the present government and approved National Mineral Policy, the role of public sector organization in the mineral sector has been curtailed. Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources is facilitating private investment for the development of mineral sector. Following are the major projects initiated through facilitation by this Ministry: i. Development and exploitation of Dudder Lead Zinc Project

(Balochistan)

11

With the concerted efforts of the Ministry of Petroleum and NR an agreement has been signed between PMDC and MCC China for the development of Dudder Lead Zinc project. MCC would invest about US$ 72 million for mine development and commercial exploitation. According to agreement the project will produce 100,354 tones Zinc and 32,584 tones Lead concentrate during 14 years mine life. Work on the project has started. Mineral Wing is fully coordinating/facilitating Chinese Company in construction of project. Construction of 100 K.M road to link the project with RCD Highway is near completion. Construction of civil works like pre-fabricated site office and camp for Chinese employees and staff, warehouses, workshops and field Laboratories, water purification plant has been completed by the company. Exploration and development work in the project is in progress. The company has completed environmental studies and basic design of the plant also. Commercial production by the company is expected to commence in 2009-2010.

ii. Facilitation in Development of Reko Dik Copper-Gold Project Balochistan

To develop Reko Dik Copper deposit in Balochistan, an Australian company, M/s Tethyan Copper Company has finalized feasibility study of the starter project aiming to produce 40,000 tones of pure copper with investment of $ 200 million. As a result of extensive drilling in the area about 167 million tones copper ore reserves have been proved. Field studies to assess social and environmental impact of the project has also been completed. Due to large size of the deposit, world’s largest copper & gold producing companies; M/s Antofagasta & Barrick Gold have taken over 100% Australian shares of the TCC. The new management has decided to launch a mega project with an investment of over US$ one billion by 2010. The mega project would produce 2,50,000 tonnes of copper annually, thus bringing Pakistan for the first time on the major copper producing country on world map. By commencement of the mining activities in the area, job opportunities are expected for about 1200 locals. Moreover commencement of the Project would give an impetus to foreign investment in mineral sector of Pakistan. As desired by M/s Antafagasta-Barrick Gold, Ministry of Petroleum & NR is working on the preparation of international mineral agreement to be signed between the company, Govt. of Balochistan and this Ministry. To solve the issues relating to the exploration/mining of Reko Dik copper-gold deposit on fast track a high level Steering Committee has been constituted by GOP having representation from all the stakeholders in GOP and Govt. of Balochistan.

iii. Development of Thar coal as alternate source of energy

Thar coalfield in Sindh province has huge coal resources of 175 billion tons. Due to high cost of imported energy Govt. of Pakistan has decided to enhance the share of coal in the over all energy mix from 05 to 19%

12

up to 2030. In view of anticipated shortfall of electricity and other energy resources during the next 10 years the maximum utilization of coal would be required in power generation and gasification. Approved Energy Security Action Plan has set a target of generating about 20,000 MW power from coal by 2030 and 50% by 2050.

As a result of govt. endeavors, about 80% of cement industry has switched over to indigenous coal from furnace oil that has saved considerable foreign exchange being spent on the import of furnace oil. The conversion of cement industry to coal has generated a demand for 2.5-3.00 million tons coal per annum.. M/s Associated Group of Lahore has been assigned a block in Thar coalfield for conducting feasibility study for integrated coal mining and commissioning 2x 250 MW coal fired power-generating plants. GOP has also decided to establish a coal mining company for harnessing Thar coal resource.

iv. Establishment of Thar Coal Mining Company (TCMC)

For power generation of 1000 MW at least 6 million tons coal is required to be mined per year. The present production of domestic coal is about 5.5 million tons per year. Therefore, GOP has established Thar Coal Mining Company (TCMC) under the Companies Act 1984 on 6th June, 2007 with the objective to develop a large coal mine in Thar coal field having production capacity of 6 million tons coal per year on Block No.II. The financial obligation of the company envisages 80% share of Federal Govt. and 20% of Govt. of Sindh. In the 80% GOP share, National Logistics is also holding 20%. Out of 60% share of Ministry of Petroleum & NR 40% will be offloaded to international coal company alongwith management of the company to plan for large mechanized coal mine. Interim institutional arrangements of the company has been made by this Ministry.

v. Commissioning of Integrated Coal Mining and establishment of coal

fired power plants in Sonda Jerrick and Lakhra coal field Sindh

To increase share of coal in energy mix Government of Sindh has signed an agreement with Chinese company M/s China National Chemical Engineering Group Corporation (CNCEC) to conduct feasibility study on a coal block in Sonda Jherrick coalfields in Sindh province for integrated mining project of 1 million ton and commission 250 MW coal based power plant. The company has completed feasibility study and is planning for commissioning of power plant.

For establishing integrated coal mining and commissioning of 200 MW power plant, an other coal block has been assigned at Sonda Jherrick coalfield to M/s Dadabhoy Hydrocarbon Ltd. by Govt. of Sindh.

As a part of promotional activities to increase share of coal, Govt. of Sindh has leased out a coal block to M/s Fatteh Group of Hyderabad to

13

commission a coal-based power plant of 250 MW in Lakhra coal field, Sindh..

i. Achievement

Marketing A target of Rs.4.65 million tons valuing at US $ 2.69 billion for the import of diesel oil and furnace oil during 2006-07 was set. Actual import of these products during the year remained at 8.3 million tons valuing at US $ 3.6 billion. Similarly, a target of 73 million barrels valuing at US $ 4.5 billion for the import of crude oil during 2006-07 was set. Actual import of crude oil during the year remained at 60.7 million barrels valuing at US $ 3.7 billion. It was estimated that around 14.7 million tons of petroleum products will be consumed during the year while actual consumption remained at around 18 million tons. Refining Transfer of Regulatory functions to OGRA In pursuance of the reforms policy of the Government to segregate policy functions from regulatory functions, a study was conducted through CIDA consultant for onwards transfer of regulatory functions to Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA). In view of the finding, of the study, oil regulatory functions have been transferred to OGRA with effect from 1st April, 2006. Establishment Of New Oil Refinery Project Under the deregulation, privatization and liberalization policy of the Government, Private Sector investment in the down stream oil sector is being encouraged. The Government has therefore, approved additional incentives for setting up of a new gross root deep convergent Coastal Oil Refinery at Khalifa Point near Hub, Balochistan.

Pricing

The prices of petroleum products have increased tremendously in the International market during the past three years. The domestic sale prices of petroleum products, being linked with International Market product prices, were required to be increased accordingly. The Government decided to protect the consumers from the burden of high International prices and capped the domestic sale prices from time to time since May, 2004 till to date. Since the full impact of increase in International Prices has not been passed on to the consumer, the Government had suffered a huge loss of revenue in Petroleum Development Levy and due to Price Differential claims of OMCs / refineries. In other words, the consumer had been benefited through this capping in particular and Government had been able to control the inflation in the country. As against the increase in International Market in the range of 114% to 141%, the domestic sale prices have been increased in the range of 47% to 59% during the period May, 2004 to October, 2007.

v. LNG POLICY 2006

Augmenting import of gas supply through LNG import is an important element of Government‘s energy security strategy to encourage LNG import through active participation of private sector. The Government has announced first-ever LNG policy during 2005-06.

Addition in LNG Policy 2006

In order to supplement Government’s efforts to enhance gas availability in the far flung areas, a set of policy guidelines regarding gas supply through LNG network to unfeasible areas by the private sector has been added in the LNG Policy 2006 with the approval of ECC of the Cabinet. This new provision provides a possibility of gas supply by private sector to the residents of the areas which are not covered with gas network.

Salient features

(a) Subject to availability on the transmission main, natural gas will be offered by SNGPL/ SSGCL through a transparent process after meeting requirements of the existing consumers.

23

(b) After confirming gas availability from the concerned Gas Utility Company, the project sponsor will apply to OGRA to get an exclusive licence to undertake the project in accordance with OGRA Ordinance, 2002, the validity period of which will be twenty (20) years renewable for further periods of five years each subject to satisfactory performance of the project sponsor.

(c) While issuing the licence, OGRA in consultation with the stakeholders, will set clear milestones for implementation of the project, progress against which will be monitored by OGRA on regular basis.

(d) The areas to be selected by the project sponsor for supply of re-gasified LNG shall be those, which do not meet the per consumer cost criteria set out by the Government for development of gas infrastructure or where extension of gas network is technically not viable.

(e) The project sponsor may set the selling price of RLNG (Regasified LNG) for the consumers at a level which at no time shall be more than 90% of the National Average Price of LPG domestic cylinder. OGRA shall monitor the RLNG sale price accordingly.

Implementation of LNG Policy

The first LNG Policy announced in 2006 is being implemented successfully. The said policy provides freedom to the investors to participate in any segment of LNG value chain. Accordingly, LNG Import projects are being developed under public as well as private sectors.

M/s SSGC has been mandated to facilitate the LNG import project and act as a project Vehicle Company for implementation of Pakistan Mashal LNG Project (PMLP), the first 3.5 million tons per annum capacity (equal to 500 MMCFD) LNG project through private sector. The project is targeted to be completed in 2012-13 with land-based re-gasification and storage terminal with an optional floating re-gasification and storage facility which can be operational by 2009.

Under the LNG Policy, the private sector parties can pursue their projects at their own cost and risk without any off take commitment from the government. At present, M/s Pakistan GasPort Limited (PGL) is working to develop LNG import project in private sector, for which they have signed an Implementation Agreement with Port Qasim Authority for establishment of an offshore LNG Import Terminal Project at Port Qasim, Karachi. The project is expected to commission in third quarter of 2008.

vi. CNG FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE

Government of Pakistan is encouraging use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as an alternate fuel for automotives in order to control environment degradation, save foreign exchange in import of liquid fuels and generate employment. Due to Government‘s encouragement, Pakistan has become third largest CNG user in the world. Total CNG

vii. CNG IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT

The Cabinet considered the Summary by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources on “Replacement of Diesel Oil by CNG” and approved the following proposals,

a) Provincial government should gradually face out diesel engine intercity urban public transport (which would include buses, mini buses and wagons) in Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore, Fisalabad, Peshawar, Quetta and Islamabad/Rawalpindi by end 2007. To achieve this target the provincial government may also:

a) encourage conversion of present diesel buses to CNG if economically feasible for the buss operators:

b) set up and monitor the time bound goals for converting diesel buses to CNG.

b) All new busses/Mini buses/wagons to be inducted in the above-mentioned cities should be dedicated CNG vehicles and or Petrol-CNG duel-fuel with immediate effect.

c) No. two- stroke rickshaws should be registered in the above-referred cities after June 2006.

d) To promote induction of CNG busses/mini buses/wagons during the diesel face out period, i.e. upto December 2007 the provincial government should provide incentive to CNG busses/Mini buses/wagons including:

c) Lucrative routes,

d) Exemption from rout tax excise tax and registration fees

e) Setting up of large CNG refueling stations for busses/mini- buses/wagons should be facilitate by the provincial government. Gas utility companies should provide gas to such station. OGRA should issues licenses to such CNG station within one month.

f) The benefit of exemption from custom duty and sales tax on CNG equipment and busses which are currently available only upto 30-06-2006 may be extended for period of five years. Manufacturing of CNG equipment and buses in Pakistan may be given priority through attractive incentive for local manufacturer under phased plan.

25

g) Local manufacturing of CNG equipment should be encouraged in the country and OGRA should expedite approval of locally manufactured CNG equipment.

h) In order to facilitate introduction of CNG busses, the Government should incentive the scheme through picking up (fully/partially) interest on bank loans taken by prospective buyer of dedicated-CNG busses/mini buses/wagons. Rs. 5 billion provided in the MTDF for Public-Private Partnership in public transport can be utilized for this purpose.

i) State Bank of Pakistan may encourage the commercial banks to establish lines of credit for procurement of CNG busses/mini buses/wagons and for establishing their manufacturing facility in Pakistan.

j) CNG equipment manufacturers and their investors may be motivated to explore the possibility of technology transfer to joint venture with the foreign manufacturer of CNG compressor and CNG cylinders.

k) The testing facility for CNG equipment according to the relevant quality standard should be fully developed at Hydro Carbon Development Institute of Pakistan to make it fully capable of performing the testing functions.

viii. LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a clean, environmentally friendly, portable and economical domestic fuel. It is rapidly becoming fuel of choice in areas, where gas distribution network is not available. Currently out of 19.2 million house holds in Pakistan, 4.85 million are connected with natural gas network; approximately 1.8 million are using LPG, whereas the rest are relying on conventional domestic fuels like coal, firewood, kerosene, dung cake etc.

GOVERNMENT’S POLICY

The Government of Pakistan is making all out efforts to promote LPG as a domestic fuel to replace conventional fuels like Coal, Firewood, Kerosene, dung cake etc to ensure availability of clean fuel to all people especially those residing in far-flung and remote areas with a view to arrest deforestation and improve environment. By virtue of current Policy, the government intends to;

a. Ensure supply of LPG to consumers at competitive rates. b. Enhance availability of indigenous LPG in the country. c. Ensure supply of LPG in far-flung and remote areas. d. Attract more investment in the LPG sector. e. Ensure safety of public life and property f. Discourage and eliminate unauthorized activities in the LPG

business. g. Generate healthy competition and improve quality of consumer

service.

As decided by the Cabinet, the Government has deregulated LPG prices w.e.f. 15th September 2000. All the producers of LPG are now empowered to either market their LPG themselves or dispose it off through the licensed marketing companies or to the new parties. All marketing companies are now

26

free to develop their LPG market, as they wish, except for use in automotive. However in order to ensure LPG supply in remote hilly areas, with a view to protect our precious forests each company is obligated to market at least 7%, of its product in AJK, 7% in Northern Areas, 6% in FATA, and 10% of LPG uplifted from Pak-Arab Refinery Company Limited (PARCO) to Balochistan. The regulatory work regarding LPG has been transferred to Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) w.e.f. 15th March 2003.However the policy formulation function of MPNR will remain intact.

ix. LPG IN AUTO SECTOR

The Government in past discouraged the use of LPG in vehicles to ensure its availability to the domestic sector. However, to bring this sector under the safety net and to bring competition in alternate auto fuel, the Government has allowed to use LPG in motor vehicles.

x. LPG PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION POLICY 2006.

In order to further increase LPG supplies, streamline its distribution at affordable prices, especially to LPG starved areas of the country and promote healthy competition for growth of LPG market as well as to ensure minimum safety standards across the LPG supply chain, the Government has allowed use of LPG in motor vehicles, while oil marketing companies have been setup to LPG Auto gas Stations at their network of retail outlets, under relevant laws.

The salient features of the policy are as under:

� Public sector E & P companies will out source all LPG production to technically and financially sound private sector parties through a transparent and competitive process.

� To ensure safety throughout the LPG supply chain, LPG storage tanks, cylinders, bowzers, and distribution outlets of the licensees will meet the minimum safety standards as laid down in applicable Rules.

� Decanting of LPG from cylinder to cylinder is prohibited and OGRA shall cancel licenses of the defaulting companies.

� OGRA will prescribe codes and standards for conversion of vehicles to LPG and the establishment of LPG re-fuelling stations for the auto sector by LPG marketing companies with an effective monitoring mechanism.

� OGRA will publish a list of authorized manufacturers for all LPG equipment including LPG refilling stations, conversion kits, fuel tanks, cylinders, storage tanks, and bowzers.

� To ensure that cartels are not formed for charging a high consumer price of LPG, OGRA will determine the reasonableness of price keeping in view the import parity price of LPG, producer price and audited accounts of LPG marketing companies for the last two years.

� All LPG marketing companies receiving LPG from sources in Punjab and NWFP will be obligated to supply at least 7% of their local LPG in Northern Areas, 7% in AJK and 6% in FATA. All

27

LPG marketing companies receiving LPG from sources in Sindh and Balochistan will be obligated to supply at least 10% of their local LPG in Balochistan province.

� Any party can import LPG after paying applicable government dues. However, no party shall export LPG without the prior written approval of MPNR.

iv. NEW MINERAL FINDINGS IN LASBELA, KHUZDAR AND CHAGAI

DISTRICTS OF BALOCHISTAN During the recently conducted geological and geochemical exploration under the development project “Accelerated Geological Mapping and Geochemical Exploration in the Outcrop Areas of Pakistan” a number of copper-nickel and copper prospective districts Lasbela, Khuzdar and Chaghi have been found.

Gacheri Copper Nickel prospect is located at about 26 km. to the north east of

Uthal town, Lasbela district. Average copper values are 3.45% of 26 samples while Nickel values range 1200 ppm two samples show the exceptionally high values from the same locality which are 0.44%.

Goth Essa (Kanano pir) copper prospect is located at about 48 km. to the north

east of Uthal town, Lasbela district. Rocks commonly exposed in the area are volcanic and sedimentary. Mineralization mostly occurs in the part of volcanic rocks in the form of micro veins and vein lets of covellite. These are intermittently exposed in the area along the faults and fracture. Selected samples are having exceptionally high content of copper which ranges between 20 to 25 % while the bulk samples show the content of copper 1.2 to 3%.

33

Detho Dhoro copper prospect is located 24 Km north east of Uthal, Lasbela district. The mineralization is commonly hosted by the volcanic rocks along with a development of Gossan. v. EXTENSIVE ALTERATION ZONES IN DETHO DHORO

Ninro Dhoro copper prospect is located 37 km north east of Uthal, Lasbela district. Rocks exposed in the area are basic and ultra basic volcanic gabbro and pelagic sediments. Mineralization is mainly hosted by the altered ultra basic rocks in form of covellite near the faulted contact between the pillow lava and ultra basic rocks. Covellite veins are also found in a shale of upper horizon i-e the part of pelagic sediments. The covellite bearing zones are exposed intermittently in the area which is about 450 meters wide and 1800 meters long. Ali Koh East copper prospect is located 7 km east of Ali Koh levies post, near Wadh in Khuzdar district. Massive Sulphide mineralization is mostly hosted with in the pillow lavas, black carbonaceous and Gypsiferous shale. It is also observed that some magnetite horizon is present in outer massive sulphide zone. Average content of copper is 2.5 - 4.5 % with some gold silver lead and zinc anomalies. Ali Koh West Copper prospect is located about one kilometer south east of Ali Koh levies post and 600 meters from the main ECO road. Rocks commonly exposed along the mineralized zone are pillow lava and pelagic sediments (Mudstone and shale).In this prospect intense staining of Malachite and Azurite found to occur with in and on the magnetite vein which is sticking N 80 W it thickness is 2.3 to 3.0 meters while strike length is 600 meters. We have taken eight samples from the area. The results of the samples are awaited. It is recommended for further detailed exploration

Jinno East copper prospect is located 6 km east of Dera khaloo levies post. Mineralization is mostly found along the faulted contact of pillow lava and sediments in form of pyrite and chalcopyrite. Chloritic alteration is also found on the foot wall . Massive sulphides are mostly capped by the black gypsiferous shale. Average copper content of 15 samples is 20 % copper.

Waheer copper prospect is located about 1.5 km west of main ECO road near the

thesil Waheer, Khuzdar district. Mineralization is found along the fault contact of basic igneous rocks and sediments of pelagic nature. Highly epidotised and chloritised rocks appear on the upper part of mineralized zone but mainly mineralization is confined in the grey colored hard and compact shale in a form of veins. Analyses of 10 samples reflect the copper contents ranging between 6 to 9 %. Malick Sarvanda Kaur copper prospect is located 40 km south west of Dalbandin, Chagai district. The mineralization is mainly controlled by the east west running fault running between volcanic rock of Sinjarani group and Flysch type of sediments. The secondary faults have produced high frequency of fracture which is having the Chalocite, a rich copper mineral. Chemical analysis from the veins shows the 70 – 74 % copper while the samples from the volcanic parts show 0.9 to 1.4 % copper.

34

Zeri Deck and Secnkori copper prospects are located 35 km North West of Dalbandin, Chagai district. Mineralization mostly found in form of veins from 3 mm to 2 cm thick. These veins are epigenetic and mostly cutting the strike direction high frequency of vein supports the idea of massive body at depth. Samples which were collected from the veins are having the high content of copper ranges which ranges from 60 -70 % while the hosting rocks are having much lower content of copper mostly less then 2%. Some silver values were also found. Secnkori copper prospect is located 4 km north east of Zeri Deck. vi. NOORIABAD CELESTITE DEPOSITS

The Government of Pakistan has signed a joint venture agreement with two well known Chinese mining companies to give leasing rights for mining and development of celestite in Nooriabad. The Sindh Minister for Mines & Minerals, Mr. Irfanullah Marwat was present at the signing ceremony in Karachi on December 13, 2006. The mining involves investment of 1.8 million US dollars. On successful commercial mining, the Chinese plans to set up a plant at a cost of 4.5 million dollars which will produce 50, 000 to 300, 000 tons of celestite a year. Part of the production will be utilized domestically while rest of it will be exported.

Geological Survey of Pakistan had discovered Celestite deposits in Nooriabad, Thano Bulla Khan, Thatta & Dadu districts, Sindh and Barkhan, Balochistan. At present, Pakistan imports about 80, 000 to 100, 000 tons of celestite every year and domestic exploitation of celestite will provide saving of foreign exchange.

Shallow marine Early to Middle Eocene Laki limestone and Late Eocene Tyon

Formation host the Celestite deposit in Thano Bulla Khan area. The Celestite of this area is of high grade with 90 to 95.5% Strontium sulphate. vii. ENVIRONMENTAL & ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL STUDIES The GSP completed the following project in the field of Environment & Engineering Geology, especially related to the post October 8, 2005 Earthquake in the northern areas, NWFP and AJK.

5.4.4 EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICES PSO serves a wide range of customers throughout Pakistan, including retail, industrial, aviation, marine and government/defense sectors. Professionals at PSO strive for providing unmatched and diverse services to the customers in line with best international practices. PSO’s state-of-the-art New Vision retail outlets are equipped with the most modern facilities including auto car wash, electronic dispensing units, convenience stores, business centers, internet facilities, electronic SSGC bill acceptance and mobile charge top-up through POS terminals.PSO has a network of over 170 convenience stores branded as ‘ShopStop’ throughout the country. Also as part of its Retail Automation Programme, PSO installed Pump Controllers at the New Vision Retail Outlets to automate flow of transaction data from fuel-dispensing unit to the POS terminals for processing of fuel cards transactions. PSO being the first Oil Company to introduce additized fuel at no extra cost such as GreenXL Plus diesel and PremierXL Gasoline, to deliver high value to customers at no additional cost in terms of improved engine performance, fuel economy and reduced noise and air pollution. The Quick Oil Lube Vans introduced by PSO, provide the lube change facilities at customers’ doorsteps. Twenty-one ISO9000 certified Mobile Quality Testing Units ensure top of the line quality of products and services.

75

PSO being a visionary and customer oriented organization; rigorously eyes on solution providing improved checks on fuel expenditures for customers’ convenience. Catering to the core objective, PSO would be introducing yet another technologically advanced product to our Fleet Card clients - Vehicle Identification System (VIS). This solution would provide an added security feature, satisfying the customers and the station owners as the system not only identifies the type of fuel to be filled but also restricts the delivery to unauthorized vehicle.

Earlier PSO provided a value-added service by launching ‘Fleet Management Solution’ (FMS) for Fleet & Corporate Card customers. Pertaining to changing customer requirements, FMS was re-launched with enhanced functionalities. FMS is a revolutionary value added service that integrates state-of-the-art technology with total customer convenience that allows to control and monitor fuel consumption on real time basis. Being a believer of catering to changing market needs, the company introduced new denominations of Rs 1,000 and Rs 10, 000 for a different niche of customers. The ‘Look and Feel’ attribute of Prepaid Cards was improved with bright colors at its base, giving its brand personality an energetic and dynamic character. Owing to its strong brand image, PSO became the first non-banking entity to launch a marketing campaign with VISA international and Disneyland. The alliance placed PSO in the league of few Pakistani brands to have worked with brands of a stature and magnitude of mammoth proportions. Work on other such initiatives is underway, which would further elevate PSO’s brand image and customers’ loyalty. PSO geared towards its vision of getting to future first had introduced yet another convenience for its customers in collaboration with SSGC: “Easy Pay of Gas Bills at PSO Stations”. The e-bill payment system allows all the SSGC subscribers to settle their gas bills through PSOs’ Point Of Sale Terminal Network. With bills acceptance round-the-clock at over 250 PSO retail outlets of Sindh and Baluchistan, SSGC subscribers are now relieved from the hassle of standing in long queues outside banks and compliance of stringent bank timings for acceptance of bills. This facility is being extended for payment of other utility bills in due course. 5.4.5 TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT

In its relentless pursuit to continually improve its systems so as to bring further operating efficiencies and achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction, the company has already implemented ISO Certification at all major departments and facilities.

During FY07, PSO Cards Division earned the distinction of ISO 9001-2000 certification. Similarly, the Logistics function of PSO has also been awarded the ISO 9001:2000 certification. It is expected that within a year, all offices and locations of Logistics and Cards Division would also achieve the ISO 9001-2000 certification.

In FY07, the company introduced Kerosene Detection Test for quality testing of motor gasoline and HSD at retail outlets. This test helps monitor adulteration of dyed Kerosene and has improved the company’s image among its customers with on-spot checking of fuel at retail outlets, industrial consumer sites, and other PSO facilities.

76

Consistent conformance to prescribed standards and specifications across the whole range of activities from receipt, storage, transportation and delivery of products is the cornerstone of PSO’s quality management system.

5.4.6 HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Ensuring the health and safety of PSO employees, contractors, customers and members of public likely to be affected by the Company’s operations is one of the basic corporate objectives, and as a priority it ranks equally with market share and profit. Accordingly, it is the Company’s policy to perform work in the safest practicable manner, consistent with best industrial practices while adhering completely to the requirements of health and safety codes and practices. The Company’s Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Steering Committee monitors HSE compliance on regular basis while HSE Site Committees ensure that HSE requirements are met at all operating locations, including Depots, Terminals, Plants, Retail Outlets and Airports. PSO is the first OMC to install gas leak detectors at CNG Stations.

5.4.7 REFORM OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

This programme covers the revamping of the organizational architecture, rationalization of staff, employee empowerment and development and efficiency and transparency in decision-making through Cross-Functional Teams. PSO’s corporate structure has evolved into a matrix, which has divided the Company’s major operations into independent activities supported by the financial, legal, information and other services. These activities operate in an autonomous and collegial manner in the form of Strategic Business Units based on the clear and transparent allocation of responsibility and accountability. This structural change has been reinforced and related checks and balances have established by putting in place several corporate monitoring and control systems. One of the top priority areas of PSO’s corporate reform is Human Resource Development. The company has undertaken several initiatives to ensure induction and training of professionals with the objective of ensuring high level of professionalism and productivity at all levels of its employees.

5.4.9 SALES PERFORMANCE PSO has ended FY07 as a market leader in all major POL products; PSO sold approximately 11.3 million tons of POL products. Despite the increasingly stiff competitive market situation, PSO again emerged as leader with 68 percent share on overall basis. The growth in industry consumption of FO was 2.4 millions tons i.e., 47%. PSO retained its market leadership and captured 80% participation in this segment – thereby increasing its market share 1.5 percentage points over last year. This translated into an extraordinary growth in PSO’s sales of FO by 49.5%. In White Oil (Mogas, Diesel, Kerosene and Jet A-1), PSO increased its market share to 59%, while in Black Oil, PSO’s share increased to 79%. As far as total POL consumption is concerned, PSO’s total POL sales grew by 21% - thus outperforming the Industry – whose total POL sales grew by 15% only. During FY07, PSO gained 0.7% share in Mogas, bringing its market share to close at 46% - the highest in ten years. As this product segment is undergoing shrinkage in terms of industry consumption, PSO’s total Mogas volume is only 2.3% compared to the industry decline of 3.7%. Hence PSO once again outperformed the industry players owing to continued aggressive marketing and further penetration of its plastic cards.

78

PSO HSD sales also witnessed a further growth of around 1.4%, outperforming the industry that declined by 0.5% over prior year. As a result, the company’s market participation increased to around 60% compared to 59% recorded in the preceding year. Despite the ever-declining kerosene demand, PSO managed to increase its market share by 7% over last year. In FY07, PSO captured market share in JP-1 (excluding exports) to 64% from 63% in FY06. PSO maintained its leadership in that against the industry volume decline of 7.5% over prior year, PSO’s JP-1 sales volume declined by just 2.2%. January 2007 became a landmark in the Aviation fuel segment with PSO surpassing all previous records of sales by delivering 63,262 MT of JP-1 at different airports. In Black Oil, PSO sales grew by 49% in FO whereas they declined by 2.2% in LDO. PSO used to have a monopoly in this product segment before the entrance of new players having refinery backup – which is the main reason for decline in volume of LDO sold by PSO. 5.4.10 NEW VISION PROGRAMME In FY07, PSO continued to offer additional value to its customers; another 150 New Vision stations were developed during FY07, bringing the total number of these outlets to a four digit number of 1,609. In order to maximize the return on investment for shareholders, the company closed down 200 more outlets under the ‘Retail Rationalization Program’. PSO also commissioned 25 new CNG stations, the highest for any OMC in the country – bringing the countrywide number of such stations to 210. PSO’s CNG earnings during FY07 climbed to Rs. 345 million, up 72% over previous year. 5.4.11 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY In its pursuit to achieve par excellence performance, PSO implemented SAP in FY2005 to operate at higher operating efficiencies thru real-time and online system. Improvements are being continuously made in SAP application by IT in order to attain business efficiency. These improvements are following international standards, of segregating system development quality assurance, volume test before being implemented in the production environment. The implementation of SAP module COPA offering capability for profitability analysis is also being implemented. This functionality offers the opportunity for multi-dimensional analysis of costs and revenues such as by products, by customer, by region and so on and leads to informed and timely decision making. Being a firm believer of continual improvement in all spheres of operations, specifically after the implementation of SAP, the internal processes of IT were realigned to provide improved internal customer services. SAP functional teams were further strengthened with experienced functional consultants to provide in house support to SAP

79

business users. Business processes were improved and aligned with SAP process flows. An awareness program was initiated about the additional or new functionality / features offered SAP. In communications, IT is continuing to explore and implement new technologies that are more economical and offer higher levels of reliability. GPRS technology is being used to connect retail stations with PSO Head office. The company also embarked upon the use of V-sat technology at its retail outlets so as to utilize modern connectivity mode for its financial transactions at retail outlets as well as to maintain its technological edge over its competitors.

A network topology transition has been initiated, i.e. from star topology to mash. Local area network security has been upgraded; it has a security framework that combines multiple layers of products and services to provide comprehensive, continuous virus, spam and spy ware protection at every network entry point. Likewise communication facilities were improved by installing video-conferencing facility between five remote locations and PSO Head office. All these strategic thrusts raised PSO to higher standards of performance.

5.4.12 FINANCIAL RESULTS

During FY07, PSO sales revenue touched an all time high and reached at Rs 411 billion, up by 16.7% over preceding year. The company sold around 11.3 million tons of POL products, an increase of 15.3% over prior year mainly owing to the surge in fuel oil demand on account of increased reliance on thermal power generation.

For the year ended 30 June 2007, the company recorded profit before tax of Rs 7.1 bn, while profit after tax stood at Rs 4.7 bn. Owing to sharp decline in international prices especially in the 1HFY07, OMCs suffered significant inventory losses, which were further aggravated by increased financing cost borne by OMCs due to delayed reimbursement of Price Differential Claims (PDCs) by Government of Pakistan.

Based on this remarkable financial performance the company announced a final cash dividend of Rs 11 per share (110%) to its shareholders, resulting in total dividend of 210% for the whole year, as against 340% cash dividend declared during the preceding year.

5.4.13 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PSO contributes in improving the quality of life and is embodied for social responsibility, a corporate commitment that is put into practice through our culture, the ethical handling of our business, the development of our associates, support for our communities and environment friendly operations. Our Corporate culture starts with integrity and is practiced through our three basic beliefs; Respect for individuals, Customer service and Strive for Excellence. We promote health, safety, education, women empowerment, citizen issues and heritage preservation both internally and externally. Our support is not only in financial terms, we believe in lining ourselves for causes where we can make a difference and add values to lives. We have also provided recently financial assistance to Institute of Special Children, Quetta for a modern FM system for the deaf to ensure their better

80

communication so that they can get education effectively and learn different skills to become contributory members in society in due course of time.

PSO partnered with the Citizens Foundation in building a school in Vinder Balochistan, which became operational in August 2006. We are building schools in Earthquake affected areas, two of which will be completed by Sept-Oct 2007.

Dowities Operation Theater Society built an OT complex there. PSO funded a complete operation theater in that complex, which will help in achieving the goal of leaving no surgical patient untreated. Our support is in the line of our endeavors to assist various hospitals in the city of Karachi to cater for the needy in the health sector. We did provide appropriate financial assistance to the National Institute of Cardio Vascular Diseases, so that we could play a role in alleviating the health and medical facilities in the country. PSO is also assisting institutions like Marie Adelaide Leprosy Center, which is fighting the battle against leprosy. In the field of heritage preservation, Company has also supported to overhaul and maintain the NED dispensary, Karachi.

Today PSO directly impact the lives of over 2.5 million people who visit its outlets and other facilities daily as well as the community in general because of its unstinted commitment to keep the wheels of the economy moving, through procurement, storage and supply of its life blood—the petroleum products. All business is conducted on high ethical standards and to ensure compliance of all health, safety and environment requirements. 5.4.14 PAYMENT TO NATIONAL EXCHEQUER

In 1997 Burmah made a strategic decision to disinvest from the exploration and production of oil and gas worldwide and sold its entire equity in PPL to the Government of Pakistan. In July 2004, the Government sold 15 percent of its holding in the Company through Initial Public Offer to General Public as part of its Privatization Programme, reducing its shareholding in PPL to 78.4%. International Finance Corporation (IFC) holds 4.3% of PPL's equity and the remaining 17.3% is held by private investors. PPL is a leading oil and gas exploration and production company, and is the operator of Pakistan's major gas fields. Gas production by PPL accounts for about 26% of the country's total gas production. It also produces Crude Oil/ Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) from Adhi field, Manzalai/ Makori discoveries in Tal Block and Mela discovery at Nashpa Block. In addition Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is produced from its Adhi Field. PPL is the owner and the operator of Sui and Kandhkot Gas Fields. PPL's portfolio of developed and producing assets consist of four operated fields (Sui, Kandhkot, Adhi and Mazarani). The Company has working interest in seven partner operated fields / discoveries namely Qadirpur gas field operated by OGDCL, Miano and Sawan gas fields operated by OMV, Manzalai and Makori discoveries in Tal Block operated by MOL, Mela discovery in Nashpa Block operated by OGDCL and Block-22 in which PEL is the operator. PPL's present exploration portfolio consists of 24 exploration blocks out of which eight (8) areas are PPL operated and sixteen (16) areas including four (4) offshore blocks are partner operated. PPL in joint venture with OMV (operator) has also been awarded an area (Block-29) in Yemen after successful bidding. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining proven recoverable reserves of PPL consisted of 3.959 Tcf of gas (707 million barrels of oil equivalent) and around 21 million barrels of Oil/NGL. The Company's current hydrocarbon production in terms of energy is equivalent to around 182,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The gas produced by the Company is sold to Sui Southern Gas Company Limited, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited, and Water and Power Development Authority. A dedicated team of Pakistani professionals manage PPL operations. The Company continues to operate as an independent entity carrying on its business on a commercial basis. The Board consists of nine directors, eight of whom are Government nominated, and one is the nominee of IFC.

Exploration & Development Prospects The main objective of the Company is to maintain its position as one of Pakistan's leading hydrocarbon producer. In order to achieve this objective, PPL has devised a dynamic exploration and development strategy with a close focus on enhancing its reserve replenishment ratio, improving drilling to discovery ratio and introducing production efficiencies through the use of modern production techniques. The Company's reserve replenishment plan includes review of attractive investment opportunities for acquisition of producing oil and gas assets in order to boost its hydrocarbon reserve profile and at the same time participate in securing the country's overall energy plan. Major capital projects planned for the next five years include addition of high pressure casings for SUL compressor at SFGCS, Performance/ Revamp Study of existing SML compressors; addition of well head compression facilities at Kandhkot for maintaining delivery pressure, Enhancement of Gas processing facilities and installation of compression facility at Qadirpur field; Compression Facility at Block-22, Central Processing Facilities at Tal and fast track development of recent discoveries. Operational Performance PPL's exploration activities increased significantly after the initiation of first licensing round by the Government in 1989 which led to the discovery of Qadirpur in 1990 and Miano in 1993. Since 1998 Company’s exploration activities accelerated and gathered unprecedented momentum. From the year 1998 to date, the Company acquired licences and working interest in 33 exploration blocks, acquired a cumulative 7,834 line km 2D seismic data and 7,304 sq. km. of 3D seismic data. The 29 exploratory wells drilled in both PPL operated and partner operated blocks, resulted in thirteen discoveries i.e. Sawan, Hamza, Hassan, Sadiq, Khanpur, Pab formation of Sui field, Manzalai and Makori discoveries in Tal Block, and recent discoveries in Nashpa, Latif, Gambat, Hala and Mamikhel discovery atTal Block. PPL undertook appraisal/development of new fields on a fast-track basis to bring them on stream. This led to commencement of production from Miano, Sawan, Mazarani, Block-22 gas fields, Pab formation of Sui field and Sakesar formation of Adhi field including EWT (Extended Well Test) production from the Manzalai, Makori and Nashpa discoveries. Reservoir/ geological studies have confirmed potential for production enhancement at Adhi Field. Installation of LPG/NGL plant -Phase II at Adhi completed during the year which has now more than doubled the field production capacity. Activities on SUL Compression Project Phase-II at Sui Gas Field has been completed during the year. The Company has also started major capital projects i.e. Kandhkot Well head Gas Compression Project, installation of Gas Compression Facilities at Qadirpur gas field and Block-22, to enhance production and improve efficiencies.

5.8 LAKHRA COAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED

122

123

5.8.1 INTRODUCTION & INCORPORATION

Lakhra Coal Development Company Limited (LCDC), was incorporated as a Public Limited Company on 6th February, 1990 under Companies Ordinance, 1984. The Company is a Joint Venture of Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC), Government of Sindh (GOS) and Water & Power Development Authority (WAPDA) with equity capital of Rs.50 million shared in the ratio of 50:25:25 respectively.

6 Mr. Masood-ur-Rehman General Manager (Finance), PMDC

7 Mr. Haseeb Ahmed Khan Chief Engineer (Thermal), WAPDA

8 Mr. Mumtaz Ali Yousufzai Chief Executive Officer, Lakhra Power Generation Co. Ltd., Khanote, Distt. Jamshoro

9 Mr. Irshad Ali Khokhar, Director General (Minerals), Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Resources

5.8.2 LAKHRA COALFIELD

The Company project comprising of operating coal mines, is situated in Lakhra Coalfield located about 70 km north-west of Hyderabad city and 200 km North-East of

Karachi. The property lies between latitude 25°-35’ to 25°-55’ (north-south) and

longitude 68°-0’ to 68°-12’ (east-west). 5.8.3 MINING CONCESSION Presently an area of 7943 acres of Compact Block Coal lease is in possession of LCDC at Lakhra Coalfield for development of coal mines and supply of coal to LPGCL (WAPDA) Thermal Power Station at Khanote, District Jamshoro, Sindh. The total proved reserves in the area are 42 million tonnes.

124

5.8.4 COMPANY’S OBJECTIVE

Prime objective of the Company is to develop Lakhra Coal Mines to supply Coal to 150 MW Thermal Plant of LPGCL (WAPDA) at Khanote which was originally planned for 6x50 MW with annual coal consumption of 15,00,000 M.Tonnes. However, only 3x50 MW plant was set up which also operated much below its rated capacity reducing the coal requirement to even less than 50% and rendering the mechanized mining uneconomical. At later stage it was decided that remaining 3 units would be set up by private sector instead of WAPDA and accordingly an area of 8622 acres, out of 16,564.71 acres of Compact Block was withdrawn from LCDC leased area. 5.8.5 IMPLEMENTATION STATUS

LCDC engaged Chinese Company for Geotechnical studies and design and development of mechanized mines in the entire area of 16,564.71 acres. Geotechnical studies were completed and mine design prepared by the Company. LCDC was in the process of signing mine development contract with Chinese Company but it transpired that WAPDA had decided not to set up remaining 3 power units and the installed units operating at much lower capacity were expected to consume half of stipulated annual quantity of coal. Under these circumstances it also became difficult to arrange finances for the Company and thus it was decided to drop the idea of mechanized mines and was considered appropriate to develop coal mines with present semi mechanized system to meet the limited coal requirement of installed thermal plant. Heavy mechanization cost would have rendered the venture uneconomical if assured uninterrupted market for stipulated annual quantity of 750,000 tonnes was not available for operating coalmines. At present LCDC is operating coalmines through local manual mining system through investment by its Coal Raising Contractor.

5.8.6 INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES

For the purpose of development / operation of mines necessary infrastructure as stated below has been developed: - i) Fair weather roads have been constructed for transportation of coal from mines to

main road leading to market. Also fair weather roads connecting various mines have been developed

ii) Sufficient numbers of residential colonies for labour have been constructed along with necessary amenities.

iii) Water supply arrangement for residential colonies as well various mines have been made through water tanker as well as concrete water tank at colonies and mines

iv) Electric generators have been set-up for emergency lighting and mines lamp charging

v) A mobile phone communication has been set-up to facilitate fast communication with mines site office.

125

5.8.7 MINE PLANNING AND TECHNICAL SUPERVISION LCDC has employed a technical team of Mining Engineers, Geologist and survey officer supported with mine supervisory Sirdars and clerical staff. All operations of Raising Contractor are supervised/ guided by this team to ensure that all operations are carried out in accordance with statutory guideline and maximum possible recovery is ensured. The technical team overseas that the operations of Raising Contractor are in accordance with mine plan duly approved by LCDC. 5.8.8 STATUS OF MINE DEVELOPMENT

LCDC has 44 mines fully developed and capable of each producing 40 to 50 tonnes coal per day while 39 mines are under development. Coal excavation is carried out by applying shortfall retreating method after developing coal panels at 50 ft interval. When a panel is completely mined, it is sealed off and coal excavation is started from next panel. Ventilation circuit is maintained through main incline as intake and main shaft as return air way. In case mine workings are extended far away from main shaft, an additional shaft is provided to improve airflow through coalface. Shaft is also used for coal hauling and material lowering while incline is also used as traveling way for labor.

5.8.9 COAL SALES Thermal Plant remained under trial during 1992-93 to 1994-95 and regular coal supplies could be started from the year 1995-96. Initially, coal supplies were made by LCDC partially from its own mines and partially from PMDC. After developing of Company’s own mines, the Company is capable of meeting total coal requirement of Thermal plant. However, approximately 60% of coal supplies are made by LCDC and balance 40% supply from coalmines of PMDC through a internal arrangement between LCDC and PMDC. Due to under capacity operation and frequent shutdowns of WAPDA Thermal Plant, coal supplies to plant are much below the planned quantity of 7,50,000 tonnes. The plant is hardly using 200,000 to 250,000 tonnes coal, which is also jointly supplied by LCDC and PMDC. Therefore, LCDC has started selling surplus coal in open market so that the company does not run in losses. The Company has sold total quantity of 2682418 tonnes of coal upto 30.06.2007. The yearly break-up since financial year 1994-95 to 2006-2007 is given below:

5.10.1 PERFORMANCE OF PMDC DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2006-07 PMDC is coming up as a progressive organization. The physical and financial results achieved during the financial year 2006-2007 remained satisfactory, in spite of constraints. Hopefully, it will continue to give better results in future as well. PMDC attained record production and sale of salt and even surpassed the land mark of over one million tons during the financial year 2006-07. All this has been made possible because of good governance, concerted efforts of the employees of the Corporation and the dynamic leadership.

5.10.2 Performance and achievements of PMDC during the FY 2006-07 are summarized in the following paragraphs.

PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE

A. Production & Sale of Salt

During the Financial Year 2006-07, production of salt was 1,032,382 tons which was 101% of the budgeted target of 1,020,000 tons and 104% of salt production of 993,677 tons during the same period last year. The sale of salt during the FY 2006-07 was 1,032,066 tons which was also 101% of the budgeted target of 1,020,000 tons and 105% of 979,749 tons salt sold during the corresponding period last year. During the period under reference, PMDC exported 18,064 tons salt to India and 513 tons to Afghanistan. The physical performance of all the salt projects remained satisfactory. Project wise production and sale figures are given below:

B. Production & Sale of Coal

Production of coal from PMDC coal mines during the financial year 2006-07 was 366,464 tons which was 72% of the budgeted target of 511,000 tons and 94% of production of 479,629 tons achieved during the last financial year. Sale of coal during the FY 2006-07 was 365,333 tons which was 71% of the budgeted target of 511,000 tons and 94% of the sale of 479,556 tons coal during the same period last year. The coal projects could not achieve their production and sale targets mainly because of the following factors: 1. At Sharigh Project which is connected through railway line with Sibi

(Balochistan) two railways bridges were blown up by the miscreants. Being the main cheaper route for transportation of coal from Sharigh to Punjab, PMDC lost sale of about 50,000 tons during the year.

2. Lakhra coal sale was adversely affected due to excessive imported coal coupled with heavy rains which resulted in less consumption of indigenous coal by the brick kilns.

3. Adverse mining conditions at Degari coal Project (Balochistan) also affected the sale of coal during the year. Project wise production and sale figures are given below.

5.10.6 FUTURE OUT LOOK

1) PMDC is well set to meet the targets fixed for the financial year 2007-08 and

expected to give better physical results, which will result in around 50% growth in the profit over last year.

2) Coal is an important energy substitute. PMDC has undertaken development of its mines to meet the enhanced demand of coal for cement & power plants which were previously fired by the furnace oil/ natural gas. In this way, the use of coal by the above said plants will help to reduce the foreign exchange required for the import of furnace oil.

3) All efforts are being made to further increase the export of rock salt to India &

Afghanistan and the value added products to other countries.

142

4) PMDC is determined to increase the profitability of the corporation by enhancing its share of coal & salt in the domestic market.

5) PMDC has signed two agreements with FATA DA as an Executing Agency for

5.11.1 INTRODUCTION

The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet in June, 1995, in consideration of the proposal on ‘Import of Gas from Iran to Pakistan’ submitted by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources approved formation of a joint venture company and directed Sui Southern Gas Co. Ltd. (SSGC) and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd. (SNGPL) to participate in the joint venture company. Inter State Gas Systems (Pvt.) Ltd. (ISGS) was thus established in 1996 as a private limited company incorporated under the Companies Ordinance 1984 as a joint venture of Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL).

5.11.2 CORPORATE STRUCTURE

ISGS is wholly owned by Pakistan’s two major gas utility companies; SSGC owns 51% while SNGPL owns 49% of shareholdings. In view of its current shareholding, ISGSL, under the Company Ordinance 1984, is a subsidiary of SSGC. Under its Memorandum and Articles of Associations, the Company has nine (9) members on its Board of Directors, consisting of five (5) directors representing SSGC while four (4) representing SNGPL.

5.11.3 COMPANY MANDATE

Natural gas is playing an important part as fuel in thermal power plants, plus as a means of diversifying away from expensive oil imports. As a result, natural gas usage has increased rapidly at an ACGR1 of about 10% in the last six years, providing more than 50% of Pakistan’s primary energy supplies. However, as the following gas supply-demand balance2 graph indicates, the country’s domestic gas reserves, after reaching their peak in 2010, will rapidly start depleting after 2011-12. With the current pace of economic development, the country is expected to face a gas shortfall of about 2.7 Bcfd by the year 2015, which is likely to increase upto 10 Bcfd by 2025.

1 ACGR – Annual Cumulative Growth Rate, provisional figure for FY2001-06 by HDIP. 2 Estimated by ISGS Consultant, PricewaterhouseCoopers, UK, at a GDP Growth Rate of 6.5%.

148

In order to meet the growing energy deficit, the Government of Pakistan (GOP), besides encouraging local exploration and production, plans to import natural gas from across its borders from Iran, and Turkmenistan. ISGSL has been mandated by the GOP to serve as an interface between the GOP and other external agencies for the import of piped natural gas. ISGSL is mandated to:

• Analyze long-term gas supply and demand position in the country on regular basis, develop mitigation plan, gas transmission network and gas storages based on techno economic studies;

• Ascertain, identify, analyze and assess opportunities for reliable sources of natural gas to be imported;

• Provide technical, commercial, financial and legal consultation in relation to cross border pipeline agreements, pricing and tariff project structure, and other matters related to cross border gas trade;

• Present different business opportunities to prospective local and international companies and business forums to attract investment interest;

• Develop underground gas storage projects.
