Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has successfully started gas production from the Lundali-1 well in Sindh. The company achieved first gas on September 6, 2026.
The well is currently producing 10 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas. It operates at a wellhead pressure of 2,000 pounds per square inch.
The produced gas is being supplied to Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC). This new production will add more indigenous gas to Pakistan’s energy supply.
Companies Behind Sukhpur II Block
OGDCL holds a 30 percent working interest in the Sukhpur II Block. Mari Energies Limited also owns a 30 percent stake.
Prime Global Energies Limited serves as the operator with a 25 percent interest. Meanwhile, Turkish Petroleum Overseas Company Limited holds the remaining 15 percent share.
The joint venture partners have worked together on exploration and development activities in the block. Consequently, these efforts led to the successful commissioning of Lundali-1.
The Petroleum Concession Agreement and Exploration License for Sukhpur II Block became effective on December 2, 2025. The block is also known as Block 2568-23.
Lundali-1 Boosts Domestic Gas Supply
The well was drilled under the previous joint venture arrangement. However, the new partners accelerated development activities after the concession agreement took effect.
Both OGDCL and Mari Energies confirmed the well’s initial production rate. The gas is now flowing into the national supply network through SSGC.
The development could help Pakistan reduce pressure on its energy supply by increasing local gas production. Moreover, successful exploration projects can strengthen the country’s domestic energy resources.
The commissioning of Lundali-1 marks another step toward expanding indigenous gas production. It also highlights continued efforts to develop Pakistan’s domestic hydrocarbon reserves.
