As part of its optimisation efforts, the OGDCL deployed a rig to replace the tubing and re-complete the well using an artificial lift system (Jet Pump).

Additionally, the company introduced Multiphysio Chemical Stimulation technology, marking its first use in the Southern Region.

These measures have increased production at Pasakhi Well-7 from 375 barrels per day (BPD) to 520 BPD, an increase of 145 BPD.

The OGDCL has commenced gas production from Chak 212-1 exploratory well in the Mari East Block, located in Rahim Yar Khan District, Punjab.
