OGDC Starts Gas Production From New Khairpur Well
Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) has started gas and condensate production from its Bitrism East-1 well in Khairpur, Sindh. The well is currently producing 7.0 million standard cubic feet of gas per day and 200 barrels of condensate per day, according to the company’s October 22 disclosure to the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
OGDC says production is expected to increase in stages as the well flow stabilises.
Bitrism East-1 production details
The well is producing from the Basal Sands of the Lower Goru Formation. OGDC has connected it to the Sinjhoro processing plant using an approximately 28-kilometre, 8-inch flowline built with the company’s own resources.
After processing, the gas is being supplied to the SSGCL network. The company’s disclosure says this will add to domestic gas supplies.
Who operates the well?
OGDC operates the Bitrism Exploration Licence and holds a 77.5% working interest. Government Holdings (Private) Limited holds the remaining 22.5%.
OGDC previously disclosed a gas-condensate discovery at Bitrism East-1 in October 2025. The start of production brings that discovery into the supply system.
What the update means
The well’s current production is a reported operating rate, not a forecast of total output over a year. OGDC has said volumes may be ramped up as the flow stabilises, but has not provided a timetable or target for that increase in its disclosure.
The update confirms that processed gas from Bitrism East-1 is already entering the SSGCL network. It does not quantify the well’s future contribution to Pakistan’s overall gas supply.
