OGDCL commences oil production from development well in Hyderabad

ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) on Tuesday announced the successful commencement of oil production from its development well Pasakhi-13 in Hyderabad, marking Pakistan’s first successful horizontal oil well in a clastic reservoir.

According to a statement by the company, Pasakhi-13 is currently producing 460 barrels of oil per day (BPD). The well was drilled to a measured depth of 2,966 metres, including a 546-meter horizontal section, the company said in a statement.

Advanced geo-steering technology-enabled precise navigation within a narrow 3 metre drilling window, ensuring optimal placement within the reservoir’s sweet spot, it added.

It stated that the well was completed and tested using a short-string electric submersible pump (ESP), specifically optimised for horizontal well configurations.

Despite challenging reservoir conditions, the horizontal drilling approach has significantly enhanced reservoir exposure, resulting in nearly three times higher production compared to offset wells under similar conditions, it said.

Pasakhi-13 is part of the Pasakhi and Pasakhi North Development and Production Lease, where OGDCL holds 100 per cent working interest.

This achievement reinforces OGDCL’s commitment to innovation, technical excellence, and the deployment of advanced technologies aligned with global standards, the company said, adding it reinforced its role in boosting indigenous hydrocarbon production and contributing to Pakistan’s long-term energy security.
