Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) announced on Thursday that it had successfully revived gas production from Jand-1 well, located in Attock District, Punjab.
The listed E&P disclosed the development via a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) today.
“Jand-1 well is currently producing over 21 MMSCFD [million standard cubic feet per day] of gas through a 32/64” choke at wellhead flowing pressure (WHFP) of 3,585 psi, representing a substantial increase over its previous production level of around 7 MMSCFD,” the notice read.
The company said that the well was initially brought on production in 2019 through the Dakhni Gas Processing Plant and was producing gas with a high H₂S concentration of approximately 8% (~80,000 ppm).
It said that production later ceased due to a mechanical failure under challenging downhole conditions associated with the sour gas environment.

“Based on in-house technical assessments and risk analysis, OGDCL successfully executed the revival plan through its own technical team and deployed equipment.
The operation included safe retrieval of downhole materials and restoration of well integrity under challenging conditions.”
The company said that operations were carried out in accordance with stringent health, safety, and environmental standards.
The well was recompleted with corrosion-resistant tubing suitable for sour service to ensure safe and sustained operations, the notice added.
