KARACHI — The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has announced the start of gas production from its Uch-35 development well. Drilled to a depth of 1,345 meters using in-house expertise, the well taps into the hydrocarbon-rich Sui Main Limestone (SML) formation, as disclosed in a statement to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Wednesday.
The Uch-35 well is producing 5 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas and has been connected to the OGDCL Uch Gas Processing Plant via a newly laid 8-inch, 1.2-kilometer flow line. This setup allows for direct gas supply to Uch Power Limited (UPL).
As the sole stakeholder and operator of the Uch Development & Production Lease in Balochistan’s Dera Bugti district, OGDCL aims to optimize production swiftly to bolster national energy security and support sustainable development.
