OGDCL makes Lower Goru Basal Sands discovery in Sindh

Oil & Gas Development Company (OGDCL) made a gas and condensate discovery at the Bitrisim Northwest-1 exploratory well in the Bitrisim Exploration License in Sindh Province, Pakistan. OGDCL operates the license with a 95% working interest, and Government Holdings (Private) holds the remaining 5%.

The well spudded 21 August 2026 and reached a total depth of 3,732 m in the Sembar Formation. Based on well log interpretation, a drill stem test in the Basal Sands of the Lower Goru Formation flowed 12,800 mcf/d of gas and 175 barrels of condensate per day through a 32/64-in. choke at a wellhead flowing pressure of 3,020 psi.

OGDCL is fast-tracking the connection of the well to the national gas gathering system for early monetization.
