OGDCL starts crude oil production at Bobi Deep-1 well

Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has commenced crude oil production from its Bobi Deep-1 discovery well in Sindh on a fast-track basis, less than a month after announcing the discovery. In a notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday, OGDCL said it had successfully connected the Bobi Deep-1 well to the existing Bobi processing plant through a newly laid 4-inch, 1.5-kilometre flowline to enable early monetisation of the discovery. The Bobi Deep-1 well, located in the Bobi and Dhamraki Mining Lease in District Sanghar, Sindh, is currently producing 2,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the Massive Sand of the Lower Goru Formation. The company said there is no associated gas production from the well at present.
