Oil & Gas Development Co. Ltd. (OGDCL) started commercial production from the Nur West #01 tight gas well in Jujawal, Sindh Province, Pakistan.

The well was drilled to a depth of 2,975 m and encountered a tight gas formation. Conventional testing did not yield sufficient gas, and the well was hydraulically fractured, the company said.

The well is now currently producing 1.5 MMscfd of gas with 1,050 psi wellhead flowing pressure from the lower Guru formation (A sand). The gas has been integrated into the Sui Southern Gas Co. Ltd. (SSGCL) network.
