Kohat E.L., a joint venture operated by Oil & Gas Development Co. Ltd. (OGDCL) of Islamabad, has tested natural gas and condensate from two formations in its Togh No. 1 exploratory well in the Kohat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, northwestern Pakistan.
Most recently, the discovery well flowed on test at the rates of 4.1 MMscfd of natural gas and 50 b/d of condensate through a 32/64-in. choke with wellhead flowing pressure of 760-823 psi from the Paleocene Hangu formation.
The well depth is 3,200 m.
In August, OGDCL said the well flowed 12.7 MMscfd of gas and 240 b/d of condensate through a 32/64-in choke with wellhead flowing pressure of 2,478 psi from the Lower Cretaceous Lumshiwal formation.
OGDCL didn’t disclose plans for the well.
Interests in the Kohat joint venture are OGDCL, 50%; Mari Petroleum Co. Ltd., 33.33%; and Saif Energy Ltd., 16.67%.
Another well in the Kohat area, Chanda D&PL Well No. 5, made the first discovery of oil and gas in the Permian Wargal formation in Chanda oil field, OGDCL reported last month.
Drilled to 5,440 m, the well tested 76 b/d of crude and 512 Mscfd of gas through a 32/64-in. choke with wellhead flowing pressure of 89-149 psi.
OGCL said the discovery opens potential for deeper-pool exploration in the region.
It operates the Chanda D&PL joint venture with a 72% interest. Other interests are Government Holdings (Pte.) Ltd., 17.5%; and Zaver Petroleum Corp. (Pte.) Ltd., 10.5%.
