- Two days after Pasakhi-13 oil begin, OGDC strikes gasoline at Sahito-1.
- Sahito-1 exploratory nicely yields 17.2 MMSCFD gasoline, says firm.
- Sahito-1 discovery anticipated to assist shut Pakistan’s power hole.
The Oil and Gasoline Improvement Firm Restricted (OGDC) on Thursday introduced a major gasoline discovery at its Sahito-1 exploratory nicely within the Khewari exploration license, positioned within the Khairpur district of Sindh.
In response to an announcement by the corporate, based mostly on wireline logs interpretation outcomes, the sands of Decrease Goru Formation (large sand) have been examined utilizing Drill Stem Testing (DST) and yielded a promising circulate of 17.2 million normal cubic toes per day (MMSCFD) of gasoline.
The nicely recorded a wellhead flowing stress (WHFP) of three,390 kilos per sq. inch (psi) at a choke measurement of 32/64 inches, indicating robust reservoir potential, it added.
OGDC is the operator of the Sahito-1 nicely with a 95% working curiosity, whereas Authorities Holdings (Non-public) Restricted (GHPL) holds a 5$ carried curiosity, it stated.
The corporate acknowledged that the nicely was spudded on December 24, 2025, as an exploratory nicely, and drilled to a complete depth of three,870 meters TVD within the Sembar Formation utilizing OGDC’s in-house technical experience.
“This discovery marks a serious milestone in OGDC’s exploration efforts and reinforces its dedication to enhancing Pakistan’s indigenous power assets,” the assertion added.
The invention is predicted to contribute to decreasing the nation’s power demand-supply hole whereas strengthening hydrocarbon reserves for each the three way partnership companions and the nation, it added.
The event comes two days after OGDC introduced the beginning of oil manufacturing from Pasakhi-13, the nation’s first profitable horizontal nicely drilled in a clastic reservoir, marking a serious leap in native drilling functionality and useful resource optimisation, The Information reported on Wednesday.
The nicely, positioned in Hyderabad, is at present producing round 460 barrels of oil per day (bpd). It was drilled to a measured depth of two,966 meters, together with a 546-meter horizontal part concentrating on the Decrease Goru – Sand A formation, a difficult however doubtlessly high-yield reservoir.
OGDC stated the success was made attainable by the usage of superior geo-steering expertise, which allowed engineers to exactly navigate the drill bit inside a slim three-meter window contained in the reservoir’s best zone, sometimes called the candy spot.
