Article History

Sūi, town, Balochistān province, southern Pakistan, located northeast of Jacobābād. It rose to importance in 1950–51 through the discovery of one of the world’s largest natural-gas deposits. Operations began in 1955 with the laying of pipelines to provide a cheap source of fuel and power for industries in Hyderābād, Karāchi, and Sukkur. Lines were extended to Multān (1958), Lahore, Faisalābād (formerly Lyallpur), and Hatār (1970). Besides generating power, Sūi gas is used for fertilizer production and as a basis for Pakistan’s growing petrochemical industry.
