KARACHI: Fauji Fertiliser Company Limited (FFC), in collaboration with Engro Fertilisers Limited and Fatima Fertiliser Company Limited, has executed key project agreements with Mari Energies Limited for the development of Pressure Enhancement Facilities (PEF) at the Mari gas field in Daharki, Sindh.
A disclosure made in accordance with the Securities Act, 2015 and shared with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) marks a significant step by the country’s leading fertiliser producers to secure long-term indigenous gas supplies, a critical feedstock for urea manufacturing.
The PEF project is aimed at addressing technical constraints within the gas gathering network by de-bottleneck existing pipelines, installing advanced compression facilities at various junctions and ensuring continued operation and maintenance of the upgraded infrastructure.
Mari Energies, which holds a 100 percent working interest and operates the Mari gas field, will oversee the project’s execution. The field’s Habib Rahi Limestone (HRL) reservoir, one of Pakistan’s key gas sources for the fertiliser sector, has been experiencing natural pressure decline as the reservoir matures.
Through the installation of pressure enhancement facilities, the project seeks to maintain the minimum delivery pressure required for sustained gas flow from the HRL reservoir, thereby extending the production plateau of the field and ensuring uninterrupted supply to fertilizer plants.
Industry officials said the initiative is expected to play a crucial role in sustaining domestic urea production by stabilising feed gas availability, reducing the risk of supply disruptions and limiting the country’s reliance on costly fertiliser imports.
FFC’s Company Secretary, Brig Khurram Shahzada (retd) described the project as a strategic initiative that would directly support domestic fertiliser output and contribute to national food security by ensuring consistent availability of locally produced urea for the agriculture sector.
