ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Petroleum Division ne Jumme ko bataya ke Turkiye ki sarkari offshore tel company ka seismic survey jahaz 17 se 20 November ke darmiyan Karachi pahunchega aur Pakistan ki samandari teh mein tel aur gas ki talash ke liye naqsha sazi shuru karega.
Petroleum Division ke mutabiq wafaqi wazir-e-petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik ne Islamabad mein Turkish Petroleum Offshore Company ke jahaz ki aamad ke liye security, bahri aur intezami umoor ka jaiza lene ke liye ijlas ki sadarat ki. Ali Pervaiz Malik ne ise “Pakistan aur Turkiye ki dosti ka aik khaas lamha” qarar diya aur kaha ke woh Karachi mein khud jahaz ka istiqbal karne ki koshish karenge.
Ijlas mein sarkari tawanai companiyon OGDCL, PPL aur GHPL ke sarbarahan ke ilawa wizarat-e-kharija, bahri umoor, difa aur dakhla, qaumi hydrographic office aur Karachi mein Ports and Shipping Directorate ke hukkam ne shirkat ki.
Jahaz kya karega: seismic survey mein samandari teh mein aawaz ki lehrein bheji jati hain aur un ki baazgasht record kar ke neeche maujood chattanon ki tehon ki tasveer banayi jati hai, jis se pata chalta hai ke tel ya gas kahan maujood ho sakti hai. Yeh kisi bhi khudai se pehle ka marhala hai aur is se zakhair milne ki zamanat nahin milti.
Turkiye ki sarkari tel company ne Pakistan Petroleum Limited ke saath mil kar un 23 offshore blocks mein se aik mein 25 feesad hissa liya tha jo Pakistan ne guzishta saal 2007 ke baad pehli offshore boli mein diye thay. Us waqt hukkam ne bataya tha ke kamyab groups ne pehle teen saal mein survey aur ibtidai jaizon par taqreeban 8 crore dollar kharch karne ka waada kiya hai, aur khudai ka marhala aane par yeh sarmaya kari 75 crore se aik arab dollar tak pahunch sakti hai.
Pakistan ko aaj tak samandar mein tel ya gas ka koi tijarati lihaz se qabil-e-amal zakheera nahin mila. 1947 se ab tak Pakistan ke samandari ilaqe mein sirf 18 kunwen khode gaye hain, aur aakhri bari koshish, Kekra-1 gehre samandar ka kunwan, 2019 mein tijarati nataij ke baghair tark kar diya gaya tha. Mulk apni zaroorat ka taqreeban nisf tel daramad karta hai.
Yeh survey donon mulkon ke barhte hue taluqat ka bhi hissa hai. Turk parliament ne isi hafte Pakistan aur Saudi Arab ke saath Makkah difai muahide ki manzoori di hai.
