ISLAMABAD, Jun 04 (APP):The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has brought 11 new wells into production across Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Balochistan during the first 10 months of FY2025-26, adding a record 9,734 barrels per day (BPD) of oil and 74.25 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas to the national energy system, according to official production data.
The wells, brought online up to April 2026 as part of OGDCL’s field development and monetisation strategy, represent the company’s highest annual contribution from newly commissioned wells in the last four years. The initiative aims to accelerate hydrocarbon production, strengthen domestic energy supplies and reduce reliance on imported fuels.
Official records show that six of the newly producing wells are located in Sindh, two in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, one in Punjab and two in Balochistan.
The significant increase in output, particularly oil production, highlights the strong performance of the latest discoveries and development projects brought into commercial operation during the current fiscal year.
In comparison, OGDCL brought five wells into production during FY2022-23, contributing 990 BPD of oil and 18.28 MMSCFD of gas.
During FY2023-24, 11 wells added 4,398 BPD of oil and 43.23 MMSCFD of gas, while eight wells commissioned in FY2024-25 contributed 744 BPD of oil and 41.80 MMSCFD of gas.
The company’s production data further reveal that a total of 35 wells were brought into production between FY2022-23 and FY2025-26 (up to April), collectively contributing 15,866 BPD of oil and 177.56 MMSCFD of gas.
The sharp rise in output from newly monetised wells during FY2025-26 underscores OGDCL’s ongoing efforts to maximise indigenous hydrocarbon resources and support Pakistan’s energy security through timely field development and production expansion.
