Gas Supply Continues Nationwide Despite Qatar Energy Force Majeure Extension: SNGPL

ISLAMABAD: (Web Desk) – Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) on Thursday said gas supply to consumers across the country remains uninterrupted, rejecting media reports suggesting that a new wave of supply disruptions or force majeure had led to curtailment.

In a press release, the company said certain news reports published a day earlier had created an impression that gas consumers were facing fresh supply constraints. However, it clarified that no change had been made to gas supplies for consumers and that the reports did not reflect the ground situation.

SNGPL said the force majeure declared by Qatar Energy in March 2026 had been extended from time to time, including through its latest extension communicated to the company. It added that the matter was an ongoing situation and did not represent any new adverse development or reduction in gas supply.

The company said the gas supply situation was being closely managed under the guidance of the National Coordination and Management Council and the Ministry of Energy’s Petroleum Division.

According to SNGPL, indigenous gas supplies have been optimised while LNG cargoes are being arranged regularly to meet demand across all sectors.

It said household demand during cooking hours was being met, while continuous gas supply to industry and the fertiliser sector had also been ensured to support economic activity. The company added that special focus was being placed on maximising gas supply to the power sector to help reduce electricity load-shedding.
