Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has successfully tested a new development well in the C-Sands of the Lower Goru Formation at Dars West-3, located in District Tando Allah Yar, Sindh Province.
According to a notice shared with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the well was drilled to a total depth of 2,100 meters using the company’s in-house expertise.
During testing, the well produced 9.70 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas along with 580 barrels per day (BPD) of condensate at a choke size of 36/64 inches, with a wellhead flowing pressure of 1,725 Psi from the Lower Goru C-Sand reservoir.
The results further confirm the hydrocarbon potential of the Lower Goru C-Sand reservoirs in the Dars West area. OGDCL said pipeline laying is currently in progress, and upon completion, the gas will be processed at the KPD-TAY plant before being injected into the SSGCL network.
The Dars West Development and Production Lease (D&PL) Joint Venture comprises OGDCL as the operator with a 77.5 percent working interest, while Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) holds the remaining 22.5 percent stake.
The company stated that the development reflects its continued efforts in reservoir evaluation, testing, and field development to enhance hydrocarbon production.
