OGDC strikes gas, condensate discovery in Khairpur

November 11, 2026 (MLN): A gas/condensate discovery has been made in the Basal Sands of the Lower Goru Formation at the Bitrisim Northwest-1 exploratory well in District Khairpur, Sindh, with the well yielding 12.8 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas and 175 barrels of condensate per day during testing, Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (PSX: OGDC) said.

The well is located in the Bitrisim Exploration License, where OGDCL is the operator with a 95% working interest, while Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) holds the remaining 5%.

Bitrisim Northwest-1 was spudded on August 21, 2026, and drilled to a total depth of 3,732 metres in the Sembar Formation. Based on the interpretation of well logs, a Drill Stem Test (DST) was conducted in the Basal Sands of the Lower Goru Formation.

OGDCL is expediting the necessary activities to connect the well to the national gas gathering system on a fast-track basis for early monetization of the discovery.

The discovery will enhance OGDCL’s hydrocarbon reserves base and contribute to Pakistan’s energy security by helping bridge the growing energy demand-supply gap through indigenous resources.

The aforementioned information was disseminated through a notification to Exchange.
