ISLAMABAD: The Oil & Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL) has announced a new gas and condensate discovery in Sindh. The find was made at the Bitrisim Northwest-1 exploratory well in Khairpur district.
The well was tested at 12.8 MMSCFD of gas and 175 barrels of condensate per day, the company said. OGDCL holds a 95% working interest in the gas reserve.
Plans to link Bitrism wells to gas network
OGDCL said it plans to fast-track the well’s connection to the national gas collection system. Earlier, the company had discovered hydrocarbon reserves at the Bitrism East-1 exploration well.
A spokesman said a roughly 28-kilometre, 8-inch flowline was laid to carry gas from that well to the Sinjhoro plant for processing. The processed gas is now being supplied to SSGCL networks.
“The commencement of production from Bitrism East-1 reflects OGDCL’s continued focus on bringing discoveries into production, enhancing the domestic hydrocarbon supplies,” the company said.
