ISLAMABAD ,Pakistan News: As Pakistan’s largest oil and gas producer, OGDCL share in country’s total oil and gas production stands at 43,437 bpd of Crude oil (Net Averaged), 976 mmcfd of Gas (Net Averaged) and 339 M. T/d of LPG (Net Averaged).
Having 40 operated oil & gas fields, geographically distributed all across the country, OGDCL has embarked upon development works on 32 fields, to bring these on production.
OGDCL has 35 oil and gas processing plants which include Dehydration, LPG, Sulphur Recovery, H2S Removal, Gas Sweetening, Condensate Stabilization, Refining and Compression plants, it was officially learnt on Tuesday.
Various measures have been taken to augment production levels to reach new heights, which include setting up of aggressive targets, enduring commitment by its professionals, and induction of latest technologies, pursuing industry best practices, strengthening surveillance techniques, enhancing in-house engineering design & simulation capabilities, utilization of state-of-the art automation systems and fostering use of information technology.
Meanwhile, the company is currently undertaking four projects which include: Uch-II Development Project, Qadir Pur Gas Compression, TAY Developmental Project and Sinjhoro Development Project.
Uch gas field is located about 67 km southeast of Dera Bugti in Balochistan province. Discovered in 1955 by Pakistan Petroleum Ltd, the field was abandoned because of its low BTU content.
OGDCL reactivated the Uch gas field in the 1980s, and to date it has drilled 15 wells and 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.
Qadirpur Gas Compression Project 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, OGDCL is 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.
Tando Allah Yar (TAY) Development Project is located in Hyderabad District, 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 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 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.
