PPL commences oil & gas production from Punjab

As per the company’s notice filed at the PSX, Adhi South-9 was successfully drilled to a depth of 3,430 meters and completed as producer based on encouraging log results.

“Subsequent to tie-in of the well with the plant, production from the well has commenced at the rate of 530 barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 0.6 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas,” PPL added.

Exploration at Adhi, located about 70 km south of Islamabad in the Pothwar region, began in 1956 and continued for a decade during which four wells were drilled. Crude oil production from the field commenced in early 1980s from the Sakesar reservoir.

Adhi’s major clients are SNGPL for gas, Attock Refinery Limited for LNG/ crude oil and various LPG marketing companies.

Earlier in July, PPL commenced hydrocarbon production from Adhi South-8 well. Last year, PPL began production of hydrocarbon from the Adhi South-6 well.
