Dear Sir,
By the grace of Almighty Allah, Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), operator, with JV Partners PPL & GHPL has successfully tested and completed Nashpa Well # 6 & 7 development wells in Nashpa Development & Production Lease, which fall in district Karak and Kohat of KPK Province.
2. The structure of Nashpa Well # 7 was delineated, drilled and tested using OGDCL's in house expertise. The well was drilled down to the depth of 4,596 meters, targeting to test the hydrocarbon potential of Datta and Shinawari formations. The Zone has produced 2,700 BPD crude oil and 7.4 MMSCFD of gas through 36/64" choke at well head flowing pressure 1,886 psig. Furthermore, laying of 1.86 Km pipeline has been completed and the well would be injected into the system within this week.
3. Likewise Nashpa Well# 6 was also delineated, drilled and tested using OGDCL's in house expertise. The well was drilled down to the depth of 5,025 meters, targeting to test the hydrocarbon potential of Kingriali, Datta, Shinawari, Samanasuk, Lumshiwal and Lokhart formations. However, hydrocarbons have been successfully tested in Lumshiwal and Lokhart formations. The Zones have produced 2,550 BPD curde oil and 16.3 MMSCFD of gas through 36/64" choke at well head flowing pressure 2,667 psig. Furthermore, laying of 7.0 km pipeline is in progress and the well would be injected into the system by mid of September 2016.
