ISLAMABAD: The state-owned Oil and Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDC) on Wedn­esday said it made a significant oil and gas discovery from its exploratory well Bobi Deep-1, located in Sanghar district of Sindh.

In an announcement, the company said the well successfully tested the massive sand interval of the Lower Goru Formation and produced 2,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) along with 1.1 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd) of gas through a cased-hole Drill Stem Test (DST), confirming the hydrocarbon potential of the reservoir.

“The achievement marks a major milestone for OGDCL as the first hydrocarbon discovery from the massive sand play within the Bobi and Dhamraki Mining Lease. Beyond the discovery itself, the success has opened a new exploration window in the area, de-risking similar prospects in the surrounding region and creating opportunities for future reserve additions and resource growth,” it said.
