Pakistan’s crude oil production climbed to its highest level in 26 months during May 2026, reaching 71,563 barrels per day (bpd), yet fuel prices remain high.
The production stat is supported by stronger natural gas production and output from newly developed oil fields, according to Topline Securities.
The increase was largely driven by reduced production curtailments caused by RLNG shortages, which encouraged higher domestic natural gas offtake.
Since a significant portion of Pakistan’s crude oil is produced alongside natural gas, increased gas production also boosted associated crude oil output.
Production was further supported by the start of operations at new fields, including Baragzai and Spinwam, helping lift the country’s overall oil production.
