The Oil and Gas Development Company of Pakistan Limited(OGDCL) has reported a major new gas condensate discovery at its Razgir-I exploration well, located in Kohat district, within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The discovery of gas condensate in Pakistan
This find comes from the Kawagarh-I formation and is the result of a joint effort by TAL, which includes OGDCL (30% interest), MOL Pakistan Oil & Gas as operator (10%), Pakistan Petroleum Limited(PPL)(30%), Pakistan Oilfields Limited(POL) (25%) and Government Holdings Private Limited (GHPL) (5%).
[post_relacionado]Drilling of the Razgir-I well commenced on January 9, 2024, reaching a depth of 3773.98 meters below ground level. Based on wireline log interpretation, the presence of gas in the Kawagarh-I formation was confirmed.
The tests performed yielded positive results, with a gas production of approximately 16.4 million standard cubic feet per day(MMSCFD) and 159 barrels per day (BPD) of condensate, at a choke size of 40/64″ and a wellhead flow pressure (WHFP) of 1874 psi.
This discovery reduces the risk associated with future exploration in the TAL block, and opens the door to new opportunities within the country’s energy sector. OGDCL has highlighted that this discovery will contribute to the supply of indigenous hydrocarbons, thereby strengthening Pakistan’s hydrocarbon reserve base .
