Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has announced a new hydrocarbon discovery at the Bitrisim Northwest-1 exploratory well in Khairpur district, Sindh. The well flowed 12.8 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas and 175 barrels per day of condensate during testing, at a flowing pressure of 3,020 psi.

Ownership and Next Steps

OGDCL holds a 95% working interest in the gas reserve. Plans are underway to speed up the well’s connection to the national gas collection system, and the company says the find supports domestic hydrocarbon supply.
