Natural Gas Natural gas, as the name implies, is found in gaseous form naturally, underground at varying depths and geographical formations. It is one of the most abundant energy sources in Pakistan, and because it is produced domestically, it is not subject to foreign disruptions of price or supply. Comprised primarily of methane, natural gas is odorless and colorless when it comes out of the ground. After impurities are removed, the natural gas is introduced

into

the

pipeline

system

where

it

is

transported

to

the

consumers.

Prior to distribution, a harmless odorant is added to the gas so any leakage can be easily detected before an unsafe situation occurs. In addition to this "rotten egg" odor, natural gas has some built-in safety features. It is lighter than air, so it will rise and dissipate into the atmosphere in the event of a leak. And it has a very narrow combustion range, igniting only when mixed with air at a ratio of between 4 and 14 percent. Any mixture higher or lower than that range and natural gas simply won't burn. It also requires a very high degree of heat, at least 1200 degrees

Fahrenheit,

before

it

will

ignite.

Once combustion occurs, natural gas is one of the cleanest-burning fuels available today. When it is burned properly, the only emissions are carbon dioxide (which is what we exhale when we breathe) and water vapor. Because of its clean-burning properties, natural gas has become the environmental fuel of choice for many residential, commercial and industrial applications. Such applications include: space heating, water heating, cooking, and as a fuel for fireplaces, vehicles, power plants, commercial and industrial boilers, as well as commercial and industrial processing.

DEVELOPMENT OF PIPELINE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LNG, IRAN GAS AND ANTICIPATED INDIGENOUS GAS SUPPLIES The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has conceptually approved Project-10 comprising of laying of 1,294 kilometers length of high pressure transmission pipelines from 16" to 42" diameter inclusive of 61,800 compression horsepower, for transportation of upcoming LNG, Iran Gas and anticipated indigenous gas supplies in SNGPL's pipeline network. The project is envisaged in order to absorb additional gas supplies in future from following sources. Recent Construction Achievements (FY2010-11) SNGPL commissioned 203 km transmission pipelines (including 52 km for M/s MOL on contract) and 5446 km distribution lines in FY2010-11. Thus gas facility was extended to various localities/towns and industrial units across Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Highlights of Projects completed include as under:12 inch dia x 47 km Mandi Bahauddin transmission pipeline was commissioned to improve gas pressure in SNGPL's network from Lala-Musa towards Jehlum. The completion of Qadirpur compression project is yet another milestone which was achieved by SNGPL. This project enhanced the overall capacity of the Qadirpur gas field by 100 MMCFD. SNGPL takes pride for completing it on time in the face of challenging constraints and tight schedule. SNGPL completed various flowlines as a contractor for MOL Pakistan including 12 inch dia x 19.7 km Maramzai Flow line, 8 inch dia x 14.7 km Mamikhel-1 flow line, 8 inch dia x 10.1 km AV1-AV2 Trunk line and 8 inch dia x 5.40 km M8-VA1 flowline. The completion and commissioning of this gas gathering network helped secure additional 85 Million Cubic Feet Per Day (MMCFD) to SNGPL's transmission system.

Construction Activities in Progress (FY2011-2012) In effort to fulfill its mission of delivering natural gas to every door step, SNGPL's project crews are working at multiple fronts laying transmission and distribution pipelines for different regions of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (KPK). A snapshot of ongoing construction projects including both transmission as well as distribution pipelines follows: Work is well underway on a 12" dia x 25 Km transmission pipeline from Shahwali to Rojhan. This pipeline is intended to deliver a clean, continuous and environmentally friendly source of energy for the people of Rojhan and in turn save the already scarce trees from being used as firewood . Works on an 8" dia x 13 Km transmission pipeline aimed at supplying gas to the major town of Malakand Agency like Sangoota, Charbagh and Manglore are at the final stages of construction with pipeline being successfully

test. Process of installation of valve assemblies is in progress. To supply gas to various villages of NA 138, Kasur, an 8" dia x 7 Km transmission pipeline project running smoothly and is expected to be completed well within the stipulated time period. SNGPL is planning to loop its existing 24" Dia Sawan - Qadirpur segement with a 42" Dia x 21.45 Km loopline at the valve assemblies SV4 and SV5 to cater for future increased gas flows. The project is the first of its kind as it is the first time, as 42" dia pipeline will be added in SNGPL's network..

Achievements During (FY2011-2012) SNGPL completed the construction of 6149 km pipelines which included 57 Km transmission pipelines and 6092 Km supply mains. The Transmission line included the contract projects of flow line and gathering lines completed by SNGPL as Engineering & Construcation contractor for clients like MOL and OGDCL. Amongest these projects, a 26 Km segment of a 30 Km transmission pipelines was commissioned to cater for low problem situation in the capital Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Gujjar Khan, Barakoh and Murree. Makori East - 1 pipelines was commissioned by SNGPL working as E&C contractor for MOL. OGDCL's Maru 2 Maru - 1 Flow line was commissioned while the work on gathering lines from Reti A1 - Maru South and Maru 2 Maru South is in full swing.
