Pakistan, one of the four partners in the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, expects to receive final approval by the end of the second quarter of 2024 to begin construction. This was announced by Inter State Gas Systems, a company operating under the auspices of the petroleum division of the Ministry of Energy of Pakistan and engaged in the implementation of strategic infrastructure projects in the gas industry.
As noted in a November report by US media holding S&P Global, Pakistan faces a growing need for gas imports as demand exceeds domestic gas production. Economic growth in the country is now recovering from the massive floods of 2023 and a population boom of more than 240 million.
TAPI is expected to transport 33 billion cubic meters of gas per year from the Galkynysh gas field in Turkmenistan through Herat and Kandahar in Afghanistan, Chaman, Zhob, Dera Ghazi Khan and Multan in Pakistan and to the end of the pipeline at Fazilka on the India-Pakistan border.
The executive director of TAPI Pipeline Company Limited, Muhammetmyrat Amanov, plans to speak at the Turkmen Energy Investment Forum in Paris on April 24 at a session on the prospects for natural gas production in the context of the energy transition.
