  "summary": "A Turkish seismic vessel will arrive in Karachi between November 17 and 20 to commence offshore oil and gas exploration, the Petroleum Division announced. The vessel, operated by the Turkish Petroleum Offshore Company (TPOC), is expected to arrive after a nearly two-decade hiatus in Pakistan's offshore exploration efforts. The vessel's arrival is seen as a significant milestone in Pakistan-Turkey relations, particularly following the signing of the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement. TPOC holds a 25% interest in the Eastern Offshore Indus-C block in the Arabian Sea, with operatorship, and has partnerships with local state-owned enterprises OGDCL, Mari Energies, and PPL.",
