ISLAMABAD: The Oil and Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL) on Monday said it commenced production from its Bobi Deep-1 well in Bobi and Dhamraki Mining Lease located in Sanghar district of Sindh.

In a statement, the state-run producer said the well was currently producing 2,000 barrels of oil per day. The company had announ­ced the oil discovery at Bobi Deep-1 from the Massive Sand of the Lower Goru Formation on June 3.

Demonstrating its operational and fast-track execution capabilities, the company completed the laying of a 4-inch, 1.5-kilometre flowline connecting the well site to the Bobi Plant in a short period, enabling early monetisation of the discovery and the timely com­mencement of production.

As operator with 100pc working interest in the Bobi and Dhamraki Min­ing Lease, OGDCL executed the project entirely through its indigenous capabilities.
