OGDC enhances oil production at Kal-03 well by massive 1,400%

Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC), Pakistan’s largest exploration and production (E&P) company, has enhanced oil production from its Kal-03 well by 1,400%. The well is located in Chakwal district, Punjab. The listed E&P disclosed the development in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday. OGDC said that the enhancement was achieved by successfully carrying out a workover. “Prior to the intervention, the well was producing approximately 50 barrels of oil per day (bpd) under natural flow. Following a planned workover that included Multistage Physico-Chemical (MPC) treatment and ESP installation, the production has increased to 750 bpd,” it said, registering an increase of 1,400%. “The activity forms part of OGDCL’s ongoing production optimisation program focused on sustaining and improving output from mature fields,” it added. Last month, OGDC increased oil production following enhancement measures from the Pasakhi-7 well, located in Hyderabad district, Sindh.
