New 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 abandoned 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 MMcf 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, we adopted a development plan under which production at the Uch gas field is to be increased from 220 to 450 MMcf per day, enabling us to commit 200-220 MMcf per day of gas for 14 to 16 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.

Qadirpur Gas Compression Project
The Qadirpur field is located 80 km northeast of Sukkur Town and is a joint venture among OGDCL, PKP Exploration Ltd, KUFPEC and PPL, each holding 75.0%, 9.5%, 8.5% and 7.0%, respectively.  Initial discovery at this field was made in 1990.  Development at the field has taken place over multiple phases, with the current production at 500 MMcf per day of gas.  Raw gas of 50 MMcf per day is provided to SNGPL and 1,100 bbls of condensate per day is also extracted from this field.  A compression project is being undertaken at the Qadirpur field that involves the installation of compression facilities to maintain the gas production plateau of 650 MMcf per day through 2013 and maintain gas pressure through 2017.  In order to reach this goal, we are installing compression facilities to increase pressure to 880 psig (pounds-force per square inch gauge) and deliver this pressure to an existing gas processing plant, as well as the extension of header and gas gathering systems.  An engineering and project management consultant has been engaged and arrangements are in hand to install the facilities.

TAY Development Project
The Tando Allah Yar (TAY) field is located in the Tando Allah Yar Hyderabad District, Sindh Province, and is an operated joint venture between OGDCL (77.5%) and GHPL (22.5%). The current project involves the installation of surface facilities adjacent to the Kunnar field, including a 25 km trunk line from TAY to the Kunnar Field, as well as a liquid separation unit, an oil stabilization unit, an amine unit and a dehydration unit. Projected production upon completion is estimated to be 28 MMcf per day of sales gas, 2,500 bbls per day of oil and 85 mt per day of LPG.

Sinjhoro Development Project
The Sinjhoro field is located in the Sanghar District, Sindh Province, and is a joint venture among OGDCL (76%), OPI (19%) and GHPL (5%), with OGDCL serving as the operator.  The scope of work for this project involves the construction of gathering facilities, an amine plant, a trunk line from the Sinjhoro field to the Bobi plant, a dehydration plant, a LPG plant, and augmentation of certain equipment at the Bobi plant.  The projected additional production at this facility upon completion is 2,940 bbls per day of oil, 25 MMcf per day of gas and 224 mt per day of LPG.
