Overview
- PPL said coverage about reclaiming land to build an offshore island near Sujawal was misleading and that no standalone island is planned.
- The company described preparatory works for a tide‑affected marshland site, including loading and offloading jetties, an access road, and an elevated pad raised about nine feet.
- PPL noted the well site lies roughly 30 kilometres from the mainland with a 17‑kilometre natural channel to move rig components by barge.
- The clarification updates earlier Bloomberg-based reports that cited a six‑foot‑high offshore platform, February completion, immediate operations, and plans for around 25 wells.
- PPL’s timeline now points to spudding an exploratory well in March 2026, as Pakistan advances wider offshore licensing that recently awarded 23 blocks.
