Security plan being prepared for E&P activities in KP: petroleum minister

The federal government, in collaboration with security forces, is developing a comprehensive plan to ensure the security of exploration and production (E&P) activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), according to a press release from the Petroleum Division. This plan was discussed during a meeting between Federal Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik and KP Minister for Energy and Power Nazir Ahmed Abbasi, where they addressed energy issues, oil and gas supplies, security of E&P activities, and challenges faced by the province.

The federal minister emphasized the importance of a secure operating environment for sustaining and expanding exploration activities in KP, and assured the provincial minister of the government's commitment to maintaining stable and uninterrupted energy supplies, despite pressures from international markets. Both sides agreed on the necessity of greater coordination among the federal government, security forces, and the provincial government to create a secure environment for E&P activities, highlighting KP's potential for further exploration and investment due to its higher-than-global-average success rate of wells.
