MASHIATULLAH, T. JAVED, M. Z. CHAUDHARY, M. FAZIL and R.M. QURESHI1 Isotope Application Division, Directorate of Technology, PINSTECH, P.O. Nilore, Islamabad, Pakistan 1Directorate of Co-ordination, PINSTECH, P.O. Nilore, Islamabad, Pakistan (Received August 02, 2010 and accepted in revised form August 24, 2010) Marine sediments are one of the endpoints for domestic /industrial contaminants from land based sources and provide an archive for tracing pollution record. Contaminated sediment is a significant environmental problem affecting many marine ecosystem. In the present study sediment samples from Manora Channel/Karachi harbour were analyzed for stable isotope composition of inorganic and organic carbon fractions (measured as δ13C) to estimate the land based terrestrial organic matter in the Manora Channel. The principle of this application lies in the fact that δ13C values of inorganic carbon (mineral fractions such as calcite, aragonite, dolomite) differs vastly from that of the organic carbon fraction of domestic and/or industrial origin in the sediments. Relatively more depleted δ13C (organic) values ranging between - 30.65 to -19.27 ‰ PDB for the organic carbon fraction were found in the Layari river outfall zone. In Manora channel mains enriched values δ13C was found in sediment of Manora lighthouse (-5.0 ‰ PDB) and Pakistan Naval Academy (-11.76 ‰ PDB) while in same zones depleted values of δ13C was found in Bhabba island (-27.31‰ PDB), Bhit Island (-26.13‰ PDB) and Boat Club area (-23.08‰ PDB) indicating impact of domestic sewage added to the Manora channel from surrounding Islands. -

Objectives and methods The Karachi Marine Fishing Communities Eye and General Health Survey was a cross-sectional study among fishing communities living on three islands and in four coastal areas in Karachi, on the coast of the Arabian Sea. The survey examined gender, ethnic and socioeconomic differences in the burden of vision loss, access to eye care services, user experiences, and outcomes of cataract surgery. Data were collected between March 2009 and April 2010: informants participated in a detailed interview regarding their sociodemographic characteristics, eye care use and experiences, were tested for presenting and best-corrected visual acuity with a reduced logMAR chart, and underwent detailed eye examination. -

Pakistan Oilfields Limited
PAKISTAN OILFIELDS LIMITED Chairman’s Statement It gives me great pleasure to present the Company’s Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2018. Results In this year the Company has earned profit after tax of Rs 11.38 billion (2017: Rs.9.679 billion) which is higher by 17.6% in comparison to last year. The Earnings per share is Rs.48.13 (2017: Rs. 40.92). Increase in profit is mainly because of higher crude oil prices and production volumes. In this year production of crude oil, gas and LPG increased by 7.83%, 12.33% and 6.36% respectively. The results of the Company’s operations are dealt with in further detail in the annexed Directors’ Report and Financial Statements. Outlook During this year the Company has made four new exploratory successes in own, operated and non-operated joint ventures including Jandial, Khaur North, Joyamair and Adhi South X-1. In addition to above three development wells were also successful. All new discoveries are under evaluation/appraisal to know full extent of reserves and I am hopeful that these will increase our reserve base. Presently, two wells are under drilling out of which one well is exploratory. In the year 2018-19 six more wells will be spudded out of which two wells are exploratory. The Company is investing a substantial amount to increase its reserve base and with the Grace of Allah we are pretty much hopeful to get new successes. We are driven by our vision to be the leading oil and gas exploration and production company of Pakistan with ever increasing proven hydrocarbon reserves and continuous and improved production. -
