JJVL Restarts Operations, Delivers 1st LPG Shipment Since 2019

Jamshoro Joint Ventures Limited has resumed LPG production after more than five and a half years, dispatching its first shipment on Thursday in what the company describes as a major milestone for Pakistan’s energy supply chain. The development was disclosed in a filing to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where LSE Capital Limited informed investors that its investee company had restarted operations and shipped its first consignment. “Jamshoro Joint Ventures Limited has shipped the first load of LPG yesterday after the restart of the plant after 5 years and 6 months,” the notice said. The long-delayed restart follows Sui Southern Gas Company’s approval earlier this year of a key agreement allowing JJVL to resume extraction of LPG and natural gas liquids. JJVL, headquartered in Lahore, operates major gas processing facilities at Jamshoro, Sindh. Its 200 mmscfd LPG extraction plant, commissioned in 2005, and its 125 mmscfd facility, launched in 2014, remain among the most advanced in the country. The company was the first LPG producer in Pakistan to deploy Ortloff technology, which delivers the highest propane recovery rate in the domestic market.
