PPL Finds Largest Gas Reserves in Pakistan Since Sui. Last year,PPL carried out a testing and
proved the presence of large gas reserves. For comparison,Sui has estimated reserves of 2
trillion cubic feet with a daily output capacity of about 604 million cubic feet.Drilling only one
reserve suggests that the entire block has the potential to supply 10.7 million cubic feet of gas
per day. This is the first significant discovery of gas reserves in Baluchistan since 2000. Pakistan can
save more than $900 million on the import bill if this gas reserves replace LNG, which costs
domestic consumers 100% more than Sui gas, according to an ex-PPL board director.

possibility curve to a point on its production possibility curve. Explain what is meant by economic efficiency.Analyze what happened to economic
efficiency in the country as a result of this movement.[12]

b)Analyze the existence of possible externalities due to gas drilling. Discuss possible
government intervention in the economy as a necessary and sufficient condition for
overcoming inefficiency in resource allocation.[13]
