ISLAMABAD, March 11: Oil and Gas Development Corporation Limited (OGDCL), in collaboration with its joint venture partners POL, MOL and GHPL, has announced successful completion of testing of the Manzalai-2 well as a part of Tal Exploration Block, located in NWFP.

“Manzalai-2 drill stem tests have been concluded for four zones and the well has produced test volumes of gas and condensate with different flowing capacities from each zone”, says a press release on Saturday.

It added that Samana Suk was tested on Friday (March 10, 2006) at around 22 MMscf/day gas and 428 bbl/day condensate, Lumshiwal tested at 24 MMscf/day gas and 489 bbl/day condensate, Hangu 25 MMscf/day gas and 450 bbl/day condensate and Lockhart at 16.6 MMscf/day gas and 274 bbl/day condensate through 32/64 choke.

The daily standard production volume of gas and condensate from the well would be firmed up after reviewing the requirements and technical specifications in the future. “This discovery would have positive impact on reduction of country’s import bill”.
