Mari Petroleum Limited has made its third significant discovery of oil and gas in North Waziristan in just over a month. The new reserves were found in the Waziristan Block. This discovery promises to boost Pakistan’s energy resources. The company expects to extract 2.38 million cubic feet of gas per day and 122 barrels of crude oil daily from the new reserves.
