Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has announced the discovery of substantial oil and gas reserves from Dars West Well No. 2, located in the Tando Allahyar district of Sindh.
According to a statement issued by OGDCL, the company holds a 77.5% operational interest in the well, while GHPL holds the remaining 22.5%. The well was drilled to a depth of 2081 meters, resulting in this significant hydrocarbon discovery.
The production from Dars West Well No. 2 stands at 8.51 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD) and 360 barrels of crude oil per day. These results were achieved from the Lower Goru C Sand zone at a wellhead flowing pressure of 1947 PSI, using a choke size of 32/64 inches.
OGDCL’s MD/CEO, Ahmed Hayat Lak, stated that this discovery is a clear reflection of the company’s commitment to national energy security. He emphasized that OGDCL remains steadfast in leveraging innovative strategies and technical expertise to strengthen hydrocarbon reserves and contribute to Pakistan’s energy sustainability and economic growth.
He added that the success of Dars West Well No. 2 is a testament to OGDCL’s aggressive exploration strategy and the technical proficiency of its experts.
This discovery will not only enhance OGDCL’s reserves but also contribute significantly to the country’s overall energy resources. It is expected to reduce government expenditure on annual oil and gas imports and help ease the ongoing gas crisis in Pakistan.
