The Gambat South Gas Processing Facility (GPF-II) in Sanghar, Sindh, has increased its gas processing capacity from 55 MMscfd to 60 MMscfd through process optimisation, generating an additional 5 MMscfd of gas, 35 barrels of condensate, and one ton of liquified petroleum gas (LPG).
The development was disclosed by Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL), the operator of the Gambat South Block, in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday.
PPL has a 65% working interest, along with joint venture partners Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) and Asia Resources Oil Limited (AROL) with 25% and 10% working interests in the block, respectively.

The GPF-II Plant, originally commissioned in 2016 with a design capacity of 50 MMscfd of raw gas containing 26% CO2, was previously optimised during 2021-22 to handle 55 MMscfd of raw gas through operational improvements.
“As part of the company’s continuous process optimisation and feed enhancement initiatives, the facility has now successfully increased its processing capacity to 60 MMscfd of raw gas,” read the notice.
PPL said that this was achieved through Amine sweetening process optimisation by introducing a proprietary additive to the existing MDEA solvent system – accomplished without any hardware modification.
“As a result, the enhancement has translated into an incremental production gain of approximately 5 MMscfd of gas, 35 barrels per day of condensate, and 1 metric ton of LPG, reflecting the company’s commitment to operational excellence and resource maximisation.
“This achievement is a result of continuous production enhancement efforts to maximise domestic hydrocarbon output from existing fields in a cost-effective manner.
PPl said the development came with bare minimum cost, underscoring the company’s focus on value creation for its stakeholders.
