Pakistan's oil production rises 6%, gas output increases 9% YoY in October 2026

Pakistan’s daily crude output reached 67,200 barrels in October 2026, up 6% from a year earlier, while gas production climbed 9% to 2,997 million cubic feet, Profit by Pakistan Today reported, citing Topline Research. Compared with September, oil output was 2% lower and gas volumes were unchanged; LPG production increased 8% year on year to 2,132 tonnes per day but fell 5% month on month.

The report linked the annual production gains to interruptions in RLNG supplies. Exploration activity included a discovery at Aassu West-1 and a dry result at Ratana-6, where OGDCL and POL held working interests of 25% and 4.5%, respectively; exploratory drilling also rose, while development drilling declined. The government extended OGDCL’s Toot field lease through October 30, 2028, and PPL’s Kandhkot Additional field through January 23, 2031.
