Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has announced a major discovery of gas and condensate reserves in Khairpur, Sindh, marking a significant boost to Pakistan’s energy sector.
According to company statement, the find was made at the Bitrism East-1 exploratory well, which is expected to produce 22.5 million cubic feet of gas per day along with 690 barrels of condensate. The well was drilled to a depth of 3,800 meters in the Sembar Formation and spudded on June 30, 2025.
OGDCL, which operates the license with a 95 percent working interest, carried out the drilling in collaboration with its joint venture partner, Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL), holding the remaining 5 percent share.
Two Drill Stem Tests (DSTs) conducted in the Lower Goru Formation confirmed promising hydrocarbon flows.
Officials said the discovery will enhance Pakistan’s indigenous energy resources, reduce reliance on costly imports, and support long-term energy security and economic stability.
This latest success underlines OGDCL’s continuing efforts to strengthen local production and help bridge the growing gap between energy demand and supply in the country.
