A sustainable energy and environmental policy in Pakistan is a priority for us.

We deal with all aspects of regulation and proceedings before the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) which is a federal bodyestablished under the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority Ordinance 2002 to foster competition, increase private investment and ownership in the midstream and downstream petroleum industry, protect the public interest while respecting individual rights and provide effective and efficient regulations.

The Directorate General of Concessions of the Policy Wing of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas oversees the upstream activities in the oil and gas fields. The Government of Pakistan operates a policy of favourable treatment towards foreign entities and incentives include equality between local and foreign investors, no barriers to FDI, 100% foreign equity, specialised export processing zones and lenient rules in relation to remitting royalties and technical and franchise fees.

PIL is committed to providing advice and services in relation to establishing independent power projects in Pakistan, which, of course, is an energy deficient country. Our expertise also lies in legal issues in the fields of mining, LNG/CNG, labour, drilling, petroleum and renewable energy and the effects of taxation in the energy sector.

We are regular participants in London’s Global Mining Finance Conferences and have an extensive network of contacts in the international mining industry.

So whatever your issue, we are here to assist you and will help you cut through the red tape and get the results that you want. Should you need any advice or representation in relation to the OGRA rules and regulations, PIL is here to help you at reasonable rates right around the clock.
