Karachi April 22 2024: In a strategic move towards fortifying Pakistan’s energy landscape, Pakistan Petroleum Limited has unveiled groundbreaking initiatives aimed at elevating domestic hydrocarbon production.
With a steadfast commitment to securing the nation’s energy future, the company has orchestrated a series of ingenious measures to maximize output from maturing fields, heralding a significant milestone in Pakistan’s quest for energy self-sufficiency. Through meticulous technical analysis, innovative rig-less techniques, and system optimization, Pakistan Petroleum Limited has achieved remarkable success in bolstering gas and oil production, marking a pivotal moment in the nation’s energy narrative.
From October 2023 to March 2024, the execution of these opportunities has resulted in a substantial production gain of approximately 17 MMscfd gas and 530 barrels per day of oil I condensate, Following is the summary of the main achievements:
- Artificial Lift System: Added 450 barrels per day oill condensate through successfully installing the artificial lift system at Adhi South X-1 and Adhi South-5.
- Acid Stimulation and Well bore Clean-out: Added -5 MMscfd gas production in Fazl X-1 in Hala Block and Adhi-19 by removing scale build-up across the tubing and the reservoir.
- Surface De-Bottlenecking: Enhanced -7 MMscfd gas production from Sui Gas Field through optimization of GGM network, wellhead surface fittings, and chemical inhibition strategy,
4, Optimization through Optimum Gas Blending: Increased -5 MMscfd gas and -80 barrels per day condensate through optimum blending of the high and low-quality gas in Gambat South processing facilities after commissioning the well Shahpur Chakar North X-1 .
This additional and cost-effective indigenous hydrocarbon production will contribute to reducing the energy demand and supply gap and save significant foreign exchange for the country.
