OGDC revives Attock's Jand-1 well, output triples

April 23, 2026 (MLN): Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (PSX:OGDC) has successfully revived gas production from the Jand-1 well in Attock District, Punjab, with output now exceeding 21 MMSCFD, a threefold jump from its previous level of around 7.0 MMSCFD.

The well, producing through a 32/64" choke at a wellhead flowing pressure of 3,585 psi, was brought back online following recompletion and targeted stimulation carried out entirely by OGDC's in-house technical team.

Jand-1 was originally brought into production in 2019 via the Dakhni Gas Processing Plant but had been shut down due to mechanical failure caused by a highly corrosive sour gas environment, with hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) concentrations running as high as 8% (~80,000 ppm).

The revival operation involved the safe retrieval of downhole materials and full restoration of well integrity under these challenging conditions. The well has since been recompleted with corrosion-resistant tubing designed for sour service to ensure long-term, safe operations.

OGDC said the development highlights its strategy of maximizing value from existing assets through technical expertise, with the added benefit of strengthening domestic hydrocarbon supply.
