As part of its long-term growth strategy, GHPL is transforming into a diversified energy and natural resources company. While continuing to strengthen its core presence in the upstream oil and gas sector—both domestically and internationally—GHPL is also strategically expanding into the mining sector.
Key initiatives include its international partnership in Abu Dhabi’s Offshore Block-5 through Pakistan International Oil Limited (PIOL), active participation in domestic farm-in and bidding opportunities, and majority ownership in Pakistan Minerals (Private) Limited (PMPL), which holds a stake in the world-class Reko Diq copper-gold project.
PIOL – GHPL’s Strategic International Partnership in Abu Dhabi
GHPL has taken a major step in expanding its global presence through a strategic partnership in Abu Dhabi’s Offshore Block-5. In collaboration with PPL, Mari Energies, and OGDCL, GHPL co-founded Pakistan International Oil Limited (PIOL)-an independent company incorporated in Abu Dhabi, with each partner holding an equal 25% stake.
This landmark joint venture marks the first-ever entry of Pakistani E&P companies into Abu Dhabi’s upstream oil and gas sector. With exploration and appraisal activities actively underway, PIOL reflects GHPL’s commitment to international growth and its evolving role in the global energy landscape.
Domestic Farm-in & Participation in Bidding Rounds
GHPL continuously evaluates opportunities to expand its exploration portfolio to ensure medium to long term organic growth. Through detailed inhouse technical and commercial due diligence, the company pursues farm-in opportunities, engages in collaborative ventures, and participates in competitive bidding rounds to strengthen its footprint in Pakistan’s energy and resource sector.
