what happened
Oil and Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL) told the Pakistan Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange that the Bitrism East-1 well has been brought into production. It currently yields 7.0 million cubic feet of gas per day and 200 barrels of condensate daily from the Basal Sands. Output is expected to rise gradually as the flow stabilizes.
Using in-house resources, the company laid a roughly 28-kilometre, 8-inch flowline to the Sinjhoro Plant for processing. The processed gas is now supplied to the SSGCL network. The well sits in Khairpur district, Sindh Province. OGDCL operates the exploration licence with a 77.5% working interest, while Government Holdings (Private) Limited holds the remaining 22.5%.
why it matters
The news concerns a local Pakistani market and does not change the global oil or gas balance. For investors it is a modest step toward higher domestic gas supply, relevant to the country's energy security and to OGDCL shares.
