Lower oil and gas production and weaker international oil prices.

Oil prices and production levels remain the key swing factors for these companies. While PPL managed to buck the trend this quarter, the rest are feeling the pressure from global market shifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s oil and gas exploration sector is heading into a weaker earnings season for April\u2013June 2025 (4QFY25).
