Karachi: Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) has successfully completed Chak 63-05, a new development well in the Chak 63 Development & Production Lease (D&PL) located in Sanghar district of Sindh, marking another milestone in the company’s efforts to enhance Pakistan’s indigenous oil and gas production.

During production testing through a 32/64-inch choke, Chak 63-05 produced 600 barrels of condensate per day (BPD) and 10.5 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD) at a wellhead flowing pressure (WHFP) of 2,580 psig. The well was spudded on April 20, 2026, drilled to a total depth of 3,325 metres, and successfully completed in the Massive Sand reservoir. The development well will be connected to the SSGC transmission system, while activities for its early monetisation are underway.

OGDC operates the Chak 63 D&PL with a 62.5 percent working interest. Other joint venture partners include Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) with 22.5 percent and Orient Petroleum Inc. Limited (OPL) with 15 percent working interest.

The successful completion of Chak 63-05 is expected to strengthen Pakistan’s indigenous hydrocarbon supplies, support the country’s energy security objectives, and reinforce OGDC’s commitment to operational excellence, sustainable growth, and long-term value creation for its stakeholders.
