OGDC Starts Commercial Production of Tight Gas in Sindh

Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) has commenced commercial production of Tight Gas from Nur West Well-1. OGDC holds 100 percent working interest in Nur Development & Production Lease (D&PL), located in District Sujawal, Sindh Province. The well currently produces 1.5 MMSCFD of gas with a wellhead flowing pressure of 1,050 PSI, sourced from the Lower Guru formation (A’ Sand). The gas has been integrated into the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) network, consequently strengthening the national gas supply infrastructure. Nur West #01 well was drilled to a depth of 2,975 meters. The well encountered a tight formation, and conventional testing methods did not yield favorable outcomes. Hydraulic fracturing was subsequently employed to achieve production viability. OGDC has formulated a Tight Gas exploration and development roadmap which is currently under implementation, reaffirming the Company’s commitment to augmenting energy resources, securing national energy needs, and promoting sustainable development across Pakistan.
