ISLAMABAD: Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC), Pakistan’s largest exploration and production company, announced the successful revival of gas production from the Jand-1 well in Attock district, marking a significant operational achievement.
According to Oil and Gas Development Company Limited, the Jand-1 well, following recompletion and targeted stimulation, is currently producing over 21 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas. The well is flowing through a 32/64″ choke at a wellhead flowing pressure of 3,585 psi, a substantial increase from its previous production level of approximately 7 MMSCFD.
The Jand-1 well was initially brought into production in 2019 via the Dakhni Gas Processing Plant, producing gas with a high hydrogen sulfide concentration of around 8 percent. Production was halted due to mechanical failure caused by challenging downhole conditions associated with the sour gas environment.
Based on detailed in-house technical assessments and risk analysis, OGDC executed a comprehensive revival plan through its own technical team. This involved the retrieval of downhole materials and restoration of well integrity under challenging sour gas conditions.
To ensure long-term operational safety and efficiency, the well has been recompleted using corrosion-resistant tubing designed for sour service. All operations were conducted in line with stringent health, safety, and environmental standards.
This achievement underscores OGDC’s commitment to optimizing existing assets through technical expertise and efficient resource utilization, contributing to strengthening Pakistan’s domestic hydrocarbon supply amid growing energy demand.
