\nA significant new hydrocarbon discovery has been announced in the country, following the successful testing of the Makori Deep-3 Development Well located within the TAL Joint Venture (JV) in the Karak District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. The well is operated by MOL Pakistan.
\nDrilling operations for the Makori Deep-3 Well began on December 12, 2024, and reached a final depth of 3,887 meters. Upon completion, the well demonstrated substantial flow rates from the Lockhart Formation, yielding 22.08 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD) and 2,112 barrels per day of condensate.
\nThe well also produced 15 barrels per day of formation water, tested on a fixed choke at a flowing wellhead pressure of 4,744 psi.
\nBoth major Pakistani oil and gas entities, Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) and Pakistan Oilfields Limited (POL), have confirmed their respective working interests in the discovery.
\nOGDCL holds a 27.763 percent working interest in the development phase of this Block. On the other hand, Pakistan Oilfields Limited (POL) holds a 25 percent pre-commerciality working interest in the TAL Block.
\nThis successful testing of Makori Deep-3 is anticipated to significantly bolster Pakistan\u2019s energy reserves and contribute to the nation\u2019s energy security. Pakistan Oilfields Limited expects the well to be connected to the production line within two months.
