Furthermore, the oil and gas production plummeted by 6% and 7% YoY, respectively. Pertinently, we expect the exploration expense to ascend by 3.6x YoY in 2QFY22 to PKR 3,061mn amid dry well Qasar X-01 incurred during the quarter. In addition to this, we expect the company to announce an interim cash dividend of PKR 2.00/share in 2QFY22 (2QFY21: PKR 1.50/share).
