History

WAKGAS was incor­po­rated on Feb­ru­ary 10, 1984 as a pri­vate lim­ited com­pany under the Com­pa­nies Ordi­nance of 1984. It became a Pub­lic Lim­ited Com­pany in May 1985. It received its LPG Mar­ket­ing license on May 18, 1989 under the Liq­ue­fied Petro­leum (pro­duc­tion and dis­tri­b­u­tion) Rules of 1971, from the min­istry of Petro­leum and Nat­ural Resources, Gov­ern­ment of Pakistan.

The com­pany started its LPG mar­ket­ing oper­a­tions in August 1989 under the trade name WAKGAS after it signed its first LPG Sales/Purchase agree­ment with the Oil and Gas Devel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion (OGDC) and Pak­istan Petro­leum Lim­ited (PPL) for the pur­chase of LPG from the gas field of Adhi.

To sup­port its LPG busi­ness, WAKGAS devel­oped exten­sive stor­age capac­ity, a trans­porta­tion net­work and man­u­fac­tur­ing facil­i­ties for cylin­ders and bot­tling apparatus.
