OGDCL Boosts Oil and Gas Production at Rajian-05 Well in Chakwal Through Successful ESP Installation
\nISLAMABAD, July 7, 2025: Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has successfully enhanced production at its Rajian Well-05 in Chakwal district by installing an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP), resulting in a significant increase in oil and gas output. Following a planned workover and ESP deployment, production from Rajian well-05 has increased to 3,100 barrels of oil per day (BPD) and 1.0 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas. Prior to this intervention, the well was producing 820 BPD of oil and 0.5 MMSCFD of gas.
\nRajian Field, located in Chakwal district of Punjab and held under the Gujar Khan Exploration License, is a 100% OGDCL-owned and operated asset. Discovered in August 1994, the field remains a key component of the Company\u2019s production portfolio. Two other wells in the field have previously been completed with ESPs. The Rajian well-05 success further validates OGDCL\u2019s strategy of maximizing the potential of existing fields through targeted, data-driven redevelopment.
\nThe success reinforces the company’s continued focus on domestic energy resource optimization in support of long-term sustainability and national energy security. While Artificial Lift Systems (ALS) have traditionally been applied to shut-in or low-producing wells, OGDCL is now selectively extending their use to naturally flowing wells, where technical and economic assessments indicate clear benefits. This approach aligns with international best practices and supports the company\u2019s broader objectives of enhancing recovery and improving production efficiency across its asset portfolio. OGDCL is committed to leveraging advanced technologies and field management strategies to strengthen Pakistan\u2019s energy future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
