Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDC), the operator of the Nashpa Exploration License, has announced another major oil and gas discovery at its exploratory well Baragzai X-01 (Slant), located in Kohat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The discovery has been made over the Samana Suk and Shinawari formations. The well is producing 3,100 barrels of oil per day and 8.15 million standard cubic feet per day of gas.

The latest find at the Nashpa Block is OGDC’s third discovery within a one-month duration. Cumulatively, the company has discovered 9,480 barrels of oil per day during this period, representing approximately 14.5 percent of Pakistan’s current domestic crude oil production.

The new discovery will contribute towards mitigating the energy supply–demand gap through indigenous resources and will add to the hydrocarbon reserves base of OGDC and Pakistan. hashtag#OGDC reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating exploration activities and responsibly developing the country’s energy resources to support national energy security and economic growth.
