Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), Pakistan’s largest exploration and production (E&P) company, has commenced production of oil and gas from its Kunnar West Well-3 located in Hyderabad district, Sindh.

The E&P shared this development in its notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Thursday.

“We are pleased to announce that Kunnar West Well-3 has been successfully brought into production at a wellhead flowing pressure (WHFP) of 1200 PSI with a choke size of 32/64”.

Sharing production details, OGDCL said the current output is 3.5 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas, 30 barrels per day (bpd) of condensate, and 3.8 metric tons per day of LPG.

The gas has been seamlessly integrated into the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL) network, it added.

Kunnar West Field is part of the Kunnar Mining Lease, located in the Hyderabad district of Sindh. OGDCL operates it with a 100% working interest.

“This accomplishment underscores OGDCL’s commitment to operational excellence and its vital contribution to enhancing Pakistan’s energy landscape, further solidifying its position as a leader in the hydrocarbon sector,” the E&P stated.
