KARACHI: Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has begun producing 1,100 barrels of oil per day from its newly developed Pasakhi-14 well, located in the Hyderabad district of Sindh. The well is part of the *Pasakhi & Pasakhi North Development & Production Lease (D&PL), where OGDCL holds a *100% working interest.
Pasakhi-14 was delineated, drilled and tested using OGDCL’s in-house technical capabilities. The well reached a depth of 2,183 metres to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the upper sands of the Lower Goru Formation.
To enhance drilling precision and operational efficiency, OGDCL deployed several advanced technologies, including a *Rotary Steerable System (RSS), **Electromagnetic Measurement While Drilling (MWD), and a *nitrified mud system—the latter being used by the company for the first time. These tools helped achieve accurate directional drilling, maintained formation integrity and contributed to the well’s strong production results.
The well has been completed using modern Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) technology, further supporting its stable production performance.
