Logs from subsequent testing showed the discovery well flowed at a rate of 1.15 million cubic feet of gas per day and 680 barrels per day of condensate from the Lower Goru formation, through a 0.5-inch choke.
“The discovery of Sial-1 is the result of aggressive exploration strategy adopted by the company,” OGDCL said in Tuesday’s statement.
“It has opened a new avenue and would add to the hydrocarbon reserves base of OGDCL, its joint venture partners and of the country. It will also contribute in reducing the supply and demand gap of oil and gas in the country through the exploration and exploitation of indigenous resources.”
