Subject: GAS DISCOVERY AT SAHITO-1 EXPLORATORY WELL IN KHEWARI
EXPLORATION LICENSE DISTRICT KHAIRPUR, SINDH PROVINCE PAKISTAN
Dear Sir,
We are pleased to inform that Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL),
as Operator (95%), along with Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) (5%
carried interest), has discovered gas from Sahito-1 exploratory well in
Khewari Exploration License, located in District Khairpur, Sindh Province.
Based on wireline logs interpretation results, the sands of Lower Goru
Formation (Massive sand) were tested through DST and yielded 17.2 million
standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD) through choke size 32/64" at
wellhead flowing pressure (WHFP) of 3390 pounds per square inch (psi).
Sahito-1 was spudded on December 24, 2025, as an exploratory well. The well
was drilled down to a total depth of 3870m TVD in the Sembar Formation as an
exploratory effort by using OGDCL's in-house expertise.
The discovery represents a major milestone, and this development is
anticipated to play a vital role in reducing the national energy demand-supply
gap through indigenous resources, while also contributing to the enhancement
of hydrocarbon reserves of OGDCL, Joint venture partner and the country.
The above information is submitted in compliance with Section 96 of the
Securities Act, 2015, and Clause 5.6.1(a) of PSX Regulations, for
dissemination among your members.
Yours Sincerely,
(Wasim Ahmad)
Company Secretary
