Qatar LNG capacity will increase to 126 -million tons per year by 2027 from the current 78-miilion tons per year. Australia already exported about 80-million LNG in 2021 and the projects are on the way to increase it to 89-milion ton per annum. Russian Yamal LNG plant capacity is about...

Honourable Sir, The cylinder contains LPG which is liquified petroleum gas.. The news is not about LPG (Propane & Butane) but about natural gas which is mostly Methane. Why go to Russia for LPG when it can be easily purchased from Iran in cylinders and done by individuals in small quantities...

It is quite normally for the Pakistan political leader to fool the public about oil & gas as Bhutto did about the Dhodak gas field and the PTI's news about Kekra exploration. I am however surprised at the naivety of Pakistani media and the oil industry personnel. Has no ever bothered to look at...

I come from a minor landholding family. National average wheat yield from the old local wheat was in the range of 9 to 10 maunds per killa (acre) during the early 1950's. Even with the increased use of fertilizer and good irrigation, our lands never yielded more than 20 maunds per acre which...

It is more expensive than ordinary white cooking salt available at the local Sainsbury super market. Increasing the price could affect its demand

Most Honourable Sir, Having spent my entire life in the oil industry I have come across all shades of all nationalities. Despite being a Pakistani, I have had many Indian friends, albeit mostly Chemical Engineers from Reliance, Indian oil and Adani group and I am still in contact with a few of...

My views are in agreement with those who think that timing of the visit was most inappropriate. Understand after failing to meet with Putin at the Winter Olympics, GOP asked for this meeting. If would make no difference whether Imran Khan met with Putin or not because If anyone thinks that...

In my humble opinion, as long as one remains within the laws of the land and the lady in question was not coerced into a loveless marriage; 2nd, 3rd or even 4th marriage is one's private affair. Since both the bride and the groom appear to be happy, we should avoid unnecessary comments.

Honourable Sir, How do you know that the man was in fact guilty? You are justifying an extra judicial Murder!!!. This from some one who lives in the UK?. Deeply disappointed to read this post from a a member who's opinions otherwise I respect.

Undoubtedly cost of the renewables came down in during the last decade. According to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), since 2020 on a lifetime cost basis, both the wind & solar power are cheaper than the conventional fossil fuel generated power. These sources...

My father used to work for the Military Farms and there used to be one Farms establishment at Jheega Gali with a rest house. This enabled me to spend many of summer holidays in Murree during my days at Rawalpindi in the early 1950's. In 1976 I again spent nearly a month at the Cecil hotel with...

This only half of it as it would only help in stabilizing the currency and provide local jobs.. We also need to increase the Inland Revenue and 'Import substitution' through locally produced good. Unless we general a fiscal surplus, there is nothing in kitty to pay for health, education and...

With due respect Sir, what is benefit of record exports if the trade deficit is still at the highest level. The imports drop that you mention also resulted in low LNG imports, causing extreme hardship to the housewives because of the scarcity of gas for cooking! By just saying that the...

I don't see the point in quoting absolute numbers for exports and foreign exchange remittance. These figures are meaningless unless used in comparison with imports, because regardless of when the numbers are high or low; what really matters is the Current Account deficit. The question to be...

I still love my country and would like Pakistan to prosper and become a progressive welfare state. But each time I visit Pakistan (admittedly only for specific reasons such as weddings and sadly funerals) I am deeply disappointed at the extremist and intolerant attitude of the population in...

USA is unlikely to abandon Pakistan completely. But with USA vs China engaged in a bitter rivalry bordering on 'Cold' war, Pakistan has to keep walking on tight rope. IMHO Pakistan main problem is not so much her relations with the USA but her weak economy and the increasing religious...

Don’t know how many of the younger generation have heard about Jigar Muradabadi, a famous Urdu ghazal poet during the 1935 to 1955 period. Normally he is better known for his poetry about “ Rinds” meaning heavy wine and alcohol drinkers. However a few of his versus are also about serious...

I have no words to express my feelings of shame and anger. This is certainly neither the way of showing respect nor following the teachings of the person who is "Rehmatul-il- Alameen". Incidents like this reinforce the Western Islamophobia. Biggest irony is that after a few months the nation...

Dubai's oil production is now nearly dried up and its main income, aside from the the Abu Dhabi's handout; comes from the real estate, tourism and it being the commercial & manufacturing hub for the entire Arab Gulf region. Alcohol was always freely available in all major hotel bars and in the...

Floating exchange rate is a two edged sword. Undoubtedly floating currency has many advantages such as automatically making imported goods dearer which reduces their demand and increasing the exports because locally manufactured goods become cheaper. Nevertheless there are also certain...
