ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: In a bid to achieve self-sufficiency in the energy sector, the federal government has started extensive oil and gas exploration activities in different parts of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

MOL Pakistan, an oil and gas exploration, has commenced the ‘Gravity Survey’ in Tal block of North Waziristan Agency, besides it is planning to conduct drilling in the Biland Khel area under the same block, according to official data available with the state-run news agency.

While Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has completed a 2D seismic survey in the FR Barinu area of Latamber Block in 2016 and the drilling would start by the end of 2017.

The OGDCL has also planned to initiate the 2D seismic survey in the Wali Block, covering South Waziristan Agency, Lakki Marwat and FR Tank.

At present, the project is under discussion with the law enforcement agencies and hopefully the survey would complete in the current year.
