OGDCL has announced a significant gas discovery at the Shahu-1 exploratory well in the Sawan South Block, located in Khairpur, Sindh.

The Joint Venture for the block comprises OGDCL with a 20% working interest, United Energy Pakistan Limited (UEPL) with 75%, Government Holding Private Limited (GHPL) with 2.5%, and Sindh Energy Holding Limited (SEHL) with 2.5%.

The Shahu-1 well is estimated to produce around 10 Million Standard Cubic Feet Per Day (MMSCFD) of gas.

The discovery has de-risked further exploration play in the Sawan South Block and will play a crucial role in boosting the country’s energy security through indigenous resources and adding to the hydrocarbon reserves base.

According to the officials of OGDCL, the company is committed to contributing to enhancing Pakistan’s domestic energy production.
