Ghani Chemical Industries Limited (GCIL) has secured a pivotal five-year contract with the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) to process natural gas from the Sono field.

The agreement, which commences operations in 2027, will see GCIL convert raw natural gas into compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), marking a significant expansion of its processing capabilities.

The deal represents a strategic diversification for GCIL, moving beyond its traditional chemical manufacturing base into energy processing.

By locking in a long-term supply agreement with OGDCL, the company secures a stable feedstock source, reducing exposure to spot market volatility for raw gas.

The project is expected to enhance GCIL's revenue streams through the production of high-demand fuel products in Pakistan's domestic market.

This development aligns with broader activity in Pakistan's energy sector, where OGDCL has recently commenced gas production at its Sahito-1 well, adding new supply to the national grid.
