OGDC has announced a significant oil and gas discovery at its exploratory well Baragzai X-01 (Slant), located in #Kohat, #KhyberPakhtunkhwa. The discovery has been made over the Lumshiwal Formation within the Nashpa Exploration Licence. During the Cased Hole Drill Stem Test (CHDST-04) conducted in the Hangu and Lumshiwal formations, the well produced 225 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and 1.01 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas. Baragzai X-01 (Slant) was spudded on December 30, 2024, as an exploratory well to assess the hydrocarbon potential of multiple formations, including Lockhart, Hangu, Lumshiwal, Samana Suk, Shinawari, Datta and Kingriali. Based on wireline log evaluations, three earlier cased hole drill stem tests were conducted in the Kingriali, Datta, and Samana Suk plus Shinawari formations, which also resulted in oil and gas discoveries. The latest test over Lumshiwal further confirms the commercial viability and hydrocarbon prospectivity of the block. #EnergySecurity #IndigenousResources #HydrocarbonDiscovery #EnergyDevelopment

OGDC has announced a gas and condensate discovery at its development Dars West-3 well located in the Tando Allah Yar district of Sindh.
