OGDCL finds gas reserves in Khairpur well
Oil and Gas Development Company Ltd announced a gas discovery at its Bitrisim Northwest-1 well in Khairpur district, Sindh, on Wednesday.
Well yields gas and condensate
The exploratory well yielded 12.8 million standard cubic feet per day of gas during testing. Additionally, it generated 175 barrels of condensate daily via a 32/64-inch choke. The wellhead flowing pressure reached 3,020 pounds per square inch at the time of measurement.
Drilling details and ownership
The Bitrisim Northwest-1 well began drilling on August 21, 2026, reaching a final depth of 3,732 metres. Operations took place in the Sembar Formation before a Drill Stem Test occurred in the Basal Sands. OGDCL holds a 95 percent working interest while Government Holdings Private Limited retains the remaining 5 percent.
Plans for early monetisation
The company is expediting activities to connect the well to the national gas gathering system quickly. This connection aims to enable early monetisation of the discovery for Pakistan's energy sector. The find will enhance hydrocarbon reserves and help bridge the growing demand supply gap through indigenous resources.
