If the oil/gas is to make electricity, Pakistan might as well extend the main grid to the Iranian border and buy cheaper electricity directly from Iran.Nothing to do with the west as Pak already imports eletricity from Iran.

Pakistan to buy more electricity from neighbouring Iran
Pakistan will buy more electricity from neighbouring Iran, a finance ministry statement said on Tuesday.www.reuters.com
If Pakistan builds (or more likely attract a Chinese company to build) a refinery in Gwadar and the pipeline network between there and Karachi, when the sanctions end or ease up, Pakistan can complete the link.
Actually, if this grid were build and Pakistan were to build out massive solar parks between Gwadar and Quetta, as part of co-production with a Chinese company it could replace fossil fuel import and allow the refinery there to switch over to other petrochemical production such as Pharmaceuticals.
When oil and gas prices would be favorable, they could be bought and still provide the base load energy to the mix.
