OGDC Announces Gas and Condensate Discovery at Khairpur Well, Sindh
Bitrisim Northwest-1 well produces 12.8 MMSCFD of gas and 175 barrels of condensate daily, and the company plans a fast-track connection to the national grid.
Islamabad – (Mudassir Iqbal / News Agency) – OGDC announces gas and condensate discovery at its Bitrisim Northwest-1 exploratory well in Khairpur district, Sindh. The company shared the news on Wednesday.
During testing, the well produced 12.8 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. It also gave 175 barrels of condensate every day.
OGDC is the operator of the Bitrisim Exploration License and holds a 95 percent working interest. Government Holdings (Private) Limited holds the other 5 percent.
Work on the well started on August 21, 2026. The drilling team reached a total depth of 3,732 metres in the Sembar Formation.
After checking the well logs, engineers carried out a Drill Stem Test in the Basal Sands of the Lower Goru Formation. The test confirmed the discovery.
A Drill Stem Test shows how much gas and liquid a well can flow. In this case, the results were strong enough to confirm a successful find.
Condensate is a light liquid that comes out along with natural gas. It can be processed into useful fuels, which adds value to the discovery.
Now the company wants to move fast. OGDC is speeding up the work needed to connect the well to the national gas gathering system. This fast-track plan will help the company start earning from the discovery early.
The find will add to OGDC’s hydrocarbon reserves. It will also support Pakistan’s energy security.
The country faces a growing gap between energy demand and supply. Developing local resources is one way to reduce that gap.
