Pakistan's oil production fell 3.4% week-on-week to 68,194 barrels per day (bopd) during the week of August 1-8, down from 70,625 bopd in the preceding week, primarily on account of lower flows from the Nashpa field. Gas production, meanwhile, rose 4% WoW to 2,939 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) against 2,825mmcfd a week earlier, led by a revival in output from the Uch field.
