Ongoing Projects

Uch-II Development Project
The Uch gas field is located about 67 km southeast of Dera Bugti in Balochistan province. The field was discovered in 1955 by Pakistan Petroleum Ltd; however, it was not developed because of its low BTU content. We reactivated the Uch gas field in the 1980s. To date we have drilled 15 wells and we are currently supplying 220-225 MMscfd per day to Uch Power Ltd. via a 47 km pipeline at the first mega low heating value gas-fired 586 MW power plant. After completing a detailed study of the Uch gas field, OGDCL adopted a development plan under which production at the Uch gas field is to be increased from 220 to 380 MMscfd per day, enabling us to commit 160 MMscfd per day of gas for 25 years to a new power producer. This project involves the drilling of 15 additional development wells, installation of a gas gathering facility and installation of dehydration and hydrogen sulphide, (H2S), removal plant and gas delivery Station. So far 14 development wells have been drilled. GSA with UPL has been signed. The Engineering Consultant has been engaged to prepare the Design/ Tender documents.Gas supply for Uch-II is expected by February, 2014.

KPD-TAY Integrated Development Project
KPD-TAY Plant is located adjacent to Company’s existing Kunnar LPG plant in Sindh Province and about 25 Kilometers from Hyderabad City. OGDCL decided to set up the project by itself. The Project will be completed in two phases. Under phase-I, 100 MMSCFD of dehydrated gas would be supplied into SSGCL’s network with 8% CO2 Contents and without extracting of LPG. SSGCL has completed the laying of 30 KM (Dia 24") Gas Transport line i.e. from Kunnar Plant to Jamshoro Tie-in Point. OGDCL completed Phase-I project in October, 201I. Gas supply from field started on Jan 12, 2012. In phase-II to fully process 312 raw gas including LPG extraction & removal of 8% CO2 contents and supply the quality gas to SSGCL’s network. Phase-II project activities are in progress. Tentative time line of completion is 24-26 months. LOI for engagement of Consultant has been issued. Expected Production upon the completion of project; Oil 4,400 BOPD, Gas 284 MMCFD , LPG 387 M.Tons/day and NGL 400 BOPD.

Jhal Magsi Development Project
Jhal Magsi gas field is located in District Jhal Magsi Balochistan, and is a joint venture among OGDCL (56%), POL (24%), GHPL (20%), with OGDCL serving as the operator. Development project is under implementation, in which installation of dehydration/compression/ H2S removal plant is required. Upon completion its expected production is 15 MMScfd by February, 2013.

Sinjhoro Development Project
The Sinjhoro field is located in the Sanghar District, Sindh Province, and is a joint venture among OGDCL (62.5%), OPI (15%) and GHPL (22.5%), with OGDCL serving as the operator. The scope of work for this project involves the relocation of Ex-Dhodak Plant (i.e. dehydration and LPG Plant), feed/sales gas compressors at Sinjhoro, construction of gathering facilities, an amine plant. The projected product yield upon completion is 3000-3500 bbls per day of oil, 25-31 MMScfd per day of gas and 120-140 M.ton per day of LPG. Most of the equipment /packages have been press advertised. Construction of civil foundations work is in progress. The project is to be completed in 2- phases, 1st phase by June 2012 and 2nd phase by December, 2012.

Nashpa/ Mela Development Project
Nashpa/ Mela field is located in District Kohat , and is a joint venture among OGDCL (65%), PPL (30%), GHPL (5%), with OGDCL serving as the operator. Development project is under implementation, in which Installation of complete processing facilities including LPG plant & compression facilities. LOI for engagement of Consultant has been issued.
