Pakistan Petroleum Ltd. (PPL) has flow tested its Adhi South X-1 well in Rawalpindi District, Punjab, from the Khewra formation with a maximum flow rate of 1,550 b/d of oil and 2.62 MMcfd of gas on a 32/64-in. choke.

The Adhi South X-1 well, which was spudded on June 30, 2017, was drilled to 3,395 m to test the Cambrian Khewra and Tobra formations.

Wireline logs confirmed hydrocarbon-bearing zones in both formations. The prospect was delineated based on 3D seismic data. The discovery lies in the down thrown block and has opened new horizons in the Potwar and Kohat area.

Joint venture partners include Oil & Gas Development Co. Ltd. and Pakistan Oilfields Ltd.
