There are two main oil production regions in Pakistan.
1-Lower Sindh
2-the Northern Region
Both of these regions have several oilfields. All the oilfields in Pakistan are fairly small in size, and several of them have already been depleted. Unless new fields are discovered and exploited in the near future, oil production in Pakistan will dwindle. At present, the Lower Sindh Oilfields produce more than 60 percent of the total petroleum output of the country. This area emerged as an important petroleum producing region in 1981, when the Khaskheli Oilfield was discovered in th Badin District. Since then, about 20 oilfields were discovered in quick succession.
The Northern Region was identified as an oil producing region in 1915, with the discovery of the Khaur Oilfield. Since then, a number of other oilfields have been discovered in the region.
There are several oil refineries in Pakistan. The small Attock Refinery at Morga, Rawalpindi, is the oldest. It refines the oil produced in the Potwar Plateau. The Pakistan Refinery and the National Refinery are located in Karachi. They refine imported oil and the oil produced in Lower Sindh. A large refinery has been built at Mahmood Cot, near Multan. A new refinery is also being set up at Hab.
