The exploration well Jhim East X-1 was drilled to a depth of 2,545 meters to test the hydrocarbon potential of the Upper Sand of the Lower Goru Formation.

During testing of Lower Goru Upper Sand (A Sand), the well flowed 13.69 million Standard Cubic Feet per Day of gas and 236 Barrels per Day of condensate at a Wellhead Flowing Pressure (WHFP) of 2,668 psig at 32/64" choke.

The well is being further evaluated to get the necessary information about its performance.

The well was drilled and tested by utilizing indigenous expertise.

This discovery will add hydrocarbon reserves and also enable the energy sector to reduce the gap between the supply and demand of oil and gas during the current energy crisis in the country and will save significant foreign exchange for the country.
