OGDC Announces New Gas and Condensate Discovery at Dars West-3 in Sindh
Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (PSX: OGDC) has announced the successful discovery of additional gas and condensate at a newly tested development well, Dars West-3, located in Tando Allah Yar district of Sindh.
According to a filing submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the well was drilled to a total depth of 2,100 meters within the C-Sands of the Lower Goru Formation. The company used its in-house technical expertise to conduct testing and evaluate the reservoir.
The discovery is expected to enhance OGDC’s production capacity and contribute to Pakistan’s domestic energy supply. Analysts note that successful exploration in the Lower Goru Formation supports ongoing efforts to reduce reliance on imported energy resources and strengthen local energy security.
OGDC’s technical team reported encouraging flow rates from the well, highlighting the potential for commercial extraction of both natural gas and condensate. The company plans to integrate the new well into its existing production infrastructure to maximize output.
This finding reflects OGDC’s commitment to systematic exploration and development in Sindh, which has historically been a significant region for Pakistan’s oil and gas sector. Investments in advanced drilling techniques and reservoir analysis continue to drive discoveries across the province.
Energy experts say that the new well will contribute to long-term energy sustainability in Pakistan, supporting both domestic consumption and industrial growth. Continued exploration in promising formations like Lower Goru is considered vital for maintaining consistent gas supplies nationwide.
The announcement also reinforces OGDC’s strategic focus on leveraging technical expertise and modern drilling technologies to unlock untapped hydrocarbon resources efficiently. This approach aligns with national priorities for energy independence and industrial development.
With further evaluation and optimization, Dars West-3 is expected to become a key contributor to OGDC’s production portfolio, strengthening the company’s role in meeting Pakistan’s growing energy demands.
