OGDCL Enhances Oil and Gas Production at Rajian-05 Well

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Pakistan's state-owned oil and gas company, Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL), has successfully increased production at its Rajian-05 Well in Chakwal district by installing an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP). This enhancement has resulted in a significant boost to the well's oil and gas output, demonstrating the company's commitment to maximizing the potential of existing fields through targeted, data-driven redevelopment.

Key Takeaways:

  • OGDCL installed an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) at the Rajian-05 Well, resulting in a significant increase in oil and gas production.
  • Prior to the intervention, the well was producing 820 barrels of oil per day (BPD) and 0.5 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas.
  • The well now produces 3,100 BPD of oil and 1.0 MMSCFD of gas, representing a 278% increase in oil and 100% increase in gas production.
  • This achievement validates OGDCL's strategy of redeveloping existing fields through targeted, data-driven redevelopment.
  • OGDCL has selectively extended the use of Artificial Lift Systems (ALS) from traditionally low-producing wells to naturally flowing wells, where technical and economic assessments indicate clear benefits.
  • This approach aligns with international best practices and supports the company's objectives of enhancing recovery and improving production efficiency across its asset portfolio.
  • OGDCL's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies and field management strategies is a key driver of Pakistan's energy future.

Statistics:

  • 3,100 barrels of oil per day (BPD) - current oil production at Rajian-05 Well
  • 1.0 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) - current gas production at Rajian-05 Well
  • 278% increase - decline in oil production prior to ESP installation
  • 100% increase - increase in gas production prior to ESP installation
  • August 1994 - discovery date of the Rajian Field
  • 100% OGDCL-owned and operated - ownership and operational status of Rajian Field
  • 2 - number of previously completed wells in the Rajian Field using ESPs
