OGDCL Reports New Gas Discovery in Sindh

Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) recently disclosed the discovery of gas and condensate at its Bitrisim Northwest-1 exploratory well in District Khairpur, Sindh. The well, spudded on August 21, 2026, and drilled to a depth of 3,732 meters, tapped into the Basal Sands of the Lower Goru Formation within OGDCL's Bitrisim Exploration License.

The company, which holds a 95 percent working interest in the license, shared that testing revealed a staggering 12.8 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas, coupled with 175 barrels of condensate daily.

OGDCL proceeded to conduct a Drill Stem Test in the Basal Sands, revealing promising results. The well, tested at a flowing pressure of 3,020 pounds per square inch (psi), delivered the gas and condensate through a 32/64 inch choke. The company plans to expedite the connection of the well to the national gas gathering system, aiming for early monetization of the discovery.

OGDCL anticipates that this new find will bolster its hydrocarbon reserves and bolster Pakistan's energy security, addressing the increasing disparity between domestic energy demand and supply through domestic resources.
