Tight Gas

OGDCL has commenced early commercial production from its first-ever tight gas discovery at the Nur West-1 well, located in Sujawal, Sindh Province. In line with the Tight Gas Exploration & Production Policy 2024, OGDCL has successfully integrated Nur West-1 into production on a fast-track basis. The well currently delivers 1.5 MMSCFD of gas at a wellhead flowing pressure of 1050 PSI, sourced from the Lower Guru formation (‘A’ Sand). OGDCL holds 100% working interest as the operator of the Nur D&PL.
As part of its comprehensive Tight Gas exploration and development roadmap, OGDCL is implementing hydraulic fracturing techniques to extract gas from tight rock formations. These efforts aim to enhance the recovery of gas from challenging reservoirs. Additionally, OGDCL plans to conduct a comprehensive study of the Indus Basin to better understand its geological characteristics, identify potential tight gas reserves, and assess the economic feasibility of extracting these resources.
