KARACHI: Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has reported a significant discovery of gas and condensate at its Bitrism East-1 exploratory well in Khairpur district, Sindh.
According to a company statement, OGDCL is the operator of the Bitrism Exploration License with a 95 percent working interest, while Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) holds the remaining 5 percent.
The Bitrism East-1 well was spudded on June 30, 2025, and drilled to a depth of 3,800 meters in the Sembar Formation. Wireline log analysis led to two Drill Stem Tests (DSTs) in the Lower Goru Formation, which yielded encouraging results. The tests indicated a production potential of 22.5 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas and 690 barrels of condensate per day (BCD) at a 32/64-inch choke.
