Excerpt from OGDC Dec2025 Report
OGDCL’s average daily production stood at:
-
Crude oil: 31,848 barrels (vs. 31,477 barrels last year)
-
Gas: 626 MMcf (vs. 672 MMcf)
-
LPG: 636 tons (vs. 629 tons)
While oil and LPG showed slight improvement, gas production declined compared to the same period last year.
Why the Shortfall?
Production was impacted by forced curtailment, mainly due to:
-
Oversupply of imported RLNG
-
Weak consumer demand
-
System constraints at SNGPL
-
Lower power sector demand from Uch field
Without these constraints, average daily production could have reached:
-
35,232 barrels of oil
-
778 MMcf of gas
-
687 tons of LPG
Curtailment reduced daily output by:
-
3,384 barrels of oil
-
152 MMcf of gas
-
51 tons of LPG
Operational Improvements
Despite challenges, OGDCL took steps to support production:
-
5 new wells connected (Aradin-1, Soghri North-1, Pasahki-14, Jhal Magsi South-1 & 2), adding significant volumes.
-
Electrical submersible pumps installed at four wells, increasing oil output by 3,370 barrels per day.
-
43 workover jobs completed to counter natural field decline.
While gas curtailment weighed on overall output, OGDCL continues to enhance production capacity and is exploring solutions to mitigate the impact of supply constraints going forward.
