Document background
The Gas Purchase Agreement (GPA) is a fundamental commercial contract used in Pakistan's energy sector to formalize the sale and purchase of natural gas between suppliers and buyers. This document is essential when establishing long-term gas supply relationships, typically used by gas producers, distribution companies, or large industrial consumers. The agreement must comply with Pakistan's regulatory framework, particularly OGRA regulations, and includes detailed provisions for gas specifications, delivery conditions, pricing mechanisms, and operational requirements. It's particularly relevant in the context of Pakistan's growing energy needs and the government's emphasis on expanding natural gas infrastructure. The document addresses both commercial and technical aspects of gas trading, incorporating local market practices and regulatory requirements while providing a robust framework for long-term gas supply arrangements.
