ISLAMABAD: Schlumberger (M/s SLB) has been awarded a key contract by the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) following a competitive international tender for an “integrated study of tight gas prospectivity evaluation.” The rigorous selection process involved 11 global bidders, with Schlumberger chosen for its strong technical expertise and cost-effective proposal.
The study will focus on identifying Pakistan’s most promising tight gas reservoirs and optimal well locations. It will also explore re-entry opportunities for existing wells to enable hydraulic fracturing, expediting the commercial development of tight gas resources.
This initiative is pivotal for OGDCL’s strategy to enhance Pakistan’s energy security, targeting the exploitation of an estimated 25.2 TCF of tight gas resources. The company plans to drill 25 wells over five years, with an initial production potential of 60-75 MMSCFD and reserves of 75-90 BCF.
The collaboration highlights OGDCL’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology and Schlumberger’s expertise in unconventional hydrocarbon exploration, promising sustainable energy solutions for Pakistan.
