Karachi December 27 2024: Pakistan Petroleum Limited disclose that as part of the exploration and development activities in the Shah Bandar JV Block (Block 2467-16), second exploratory well Jhim East X-1 located in District Sujawal, Sindh Province, has been successfully commissioned.
Jhim East X-1 well is producing approximately 10 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) gas & more than 150 barrels per day (BPD) condensate with a Wellhead Flowing Pressure (WHFP) of approximately 2,800 pounds per square inch (Psi) at 40/64-inch choke size.
Jhim East X-1 gas is being processed at MPCL’s Sujawal Gas Processing Facility for onward supply to SSGC. The commissioning has added much needed gas supplies to the national gas distribution network and will enable the energy sector to reduce the gap between the supply and demand during the current energy crisis and will save significant foreign exchange for the country by way of import substitution.
