ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) on Tuesday announced the discovery of gas condensate in the Razgir-1 exploratory well, in the Tal Block, located in Kohat, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
The Razgir-1 exploratory well was spudded-in on January 9, 2024, and has been successfully drilled down to a depth of 3,774 meters True Vertical Depth (TVD).
Based on the interpretation results of wireline logs data, the Kawagarh-1 formation (Exploratory Target) was tested successfully at a rate of around 16.4 Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day (MMSCFD) of gas and 159 Barrels per Day (BPD) of condensate. This was achieved at a choke size of 40/64” and a Wellhead Flowing Pressure (WHFP) of 1874 Pounds per Square Inch (Psi).
This significant discovery in the Tal Block de-risked further exploration play in the area, leading to new upside opportunities.
The newfound hydrocarbon reserves will play a crucial role in enhancing the indigenous supply of hydrocarbons, thereby contributing to the country’s energy security. OGDCL is committed to exploring and developing the country’s hydrocarbon resources efficiently.
