OGDC optimizes production at Kunnar Oil Field

The OGDC of Pakistan has enhanced oil production at Kunnar-12 and Kunnar-6 wells at the Kunnar Oil Field, resulting in incremental production of 1160 bpd of oil.

The Kunnar-12 well is part of OGDC’s Kunnar Oil Field, with a 100% working interest in Kunnar Mining Lease Area. Following a reassessment of the well’s potential through production optimisation, OGDC deployed a rig to replace the conventional Jet Pump with an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP). These measures have increased production at Kunnar Well-12 from 1060 bpd to 1820 bpd, an increase of 760 bpd.

Kunnar-6 well, previously shut-in due to high water production and low oil recovery, has been successfully revived following a comprehensive plan. A series of rigless interventions in the Lower Goru Upper Sand, combined with re-completion using an artificial lift system (ESP), have optimised its performance. Kunnar-6 is now producing at a rate of 400 bpd of oil. These interventions have collectively resulted in an incremental production of 1160 bpd from Kunnar Oil Field.
