Turkish seismic vessel to arrive in Karachi in November as Pakistan resumes offshore energy reserve exploration
Published
A Turkish seismic vessel is set to arrive in Karachi this month. The ship is expected to reach Karachi between 17 and 20 November. Islamabad is currently working to find new energy reserves, and the vessel's arrival is seen as part of this same plan.
A seismic vessel is used to study the structure of the earth beneath the seabed. It sends sound waves through the water, which travel deep into the earth and return to tell experts what kinds of rock lie below. From this information, experts can estimate whether oil or gas reserves may exist there.
Pakistan relies heavily on imported oil and gas to meet its energy needs. For this reason, finding new reserves within the country is considered an important issue for the government. This offshore exploration project is one such effort in that direction.
It is not yet clear when the survey results will emerge or how many reserves they might identify. Only after the vessel arrives in Karachi will it become known how quickly the exploration work moves forward.
