KARACHI: Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), Pakistan’s leading exploration and production (E&P) company, has successfully revived the Dars West-2 Well located in District Tando Allah Yar, Sindh. This achievement marks the resumption of hydrocarbon production from a new interval within the well.

In a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday, OGDC announced that the well, previously completed in the C-Sand of the Lower Goru Formation, had ceased production in September. The subsequent analysis revealed limited production potential in the C-Sand.

Following this assessment, OGDC successfully isolated the C-Sand and completed the well in the B-Sand of the Lower Goru Formation. Currently, Dars West-2 is producing 200 barrels of oil per day, eight million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas, and 37 metric tonnes per day of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

The produced gas is being integrated into the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL) network, contributing to the national gas supply.

The Dars West-2 Well lies within the Dars West Development and Production Lease (D&PL), with OGDC serving as the operator with a 77.5 per cent working interest and GHPL as a joint venture partner.
