Even though Sindh has always been at the forefront in terms of the total energy output (oil and gas), new figures for early 2026 reveal that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has now moved to the forefront in the production of crude oil alone. The reason behind the rise of KP in the production of crude oil is the discovery of large quantities of crude oil in areas like Kohat, Karak, and Hangu.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Accounts for approximately 41% of Pakistan's total crude oil output.
Sindh: Follows closely with a 40% share of the country's oil production.
Punjab: Contributes roughly 18% of the national total
Balochistan: Accounts for about 1% of national oil production.
