November 27, 2024 (MLN): Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has achieved notable production gains between April and November 2024, adding 17 MMscfd of natural gas, 400 barrels per day of oil/condensate, and 4 tonnes per day of LPG, the company's filing on PSX revealed today.
"The company is pleased to announce Its contribution towards Pakistan's Energy Outlook and reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the country's energy security by prioritizing the maximization of domestic hydrocarbon production," the notice reads.
Recognizing the natural decline of its mature producing fields, the company has strategically implemented multiple cost-efficient production enhancement initiatives, including rig-less interventions, surface system optimization, and work producing significant results at a fraction of the cost of drilling new wells.
Key milestones achieved through the efforts mentioned above include:
Optimization through workovers
Enhanced 8.4 MMscfd gas output through successful workovers on Sui-71 and Sui-73.
Surface debottlenecking
Optimizing wellhead surface fittings and plant processing systems improved 7.1 MMscfd gas production from the Sui and Gambat South Gas Fields.
Artificial lift system enhancements
They delivered -200 barrels per day of oil/condensate, 2 tonnes per day of LPG, and 0.5 MMsofd gas through the installation and modification of artificial lift systems at Adhi-28, Adhi-29, and Adhi South-5.
Acid wash and wellbore cleanout
Boosted production by -200 barrels per day of oil/condensate, -2 tonnes per day of LPG, and 1.3 MMscfd gas via acid wash treatments and scale removal at Adhi, Hala, and Sui Fields.
These initiatives underscore the company's commitment towards cost-effectively enhancing indigenous hydrocarbon production, contributing meaningfully to bridging the energy demand-supply gap and conserving foreign exchange for the nation.
