Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (PSX: OGDC) said it has successfully revived production at Rajian-11, a heavy oil well, through the installation of an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP).
This initiative aligns with OGDCL’s broader strategy to enhance production using advanced artificial lift techniques, the company said in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).
Extending to 3,774 meters, Rajian-11 had remained suspended since 2020 due to formation challenges. The Company successfully completed the well with an ESP in Tobra, Jutana, and Sakesar formations, restoring production to 1,000 barrels per day (BPD) of oil.
Rajian Oil Field, located in District Chakwal, is fully owned and operated by OGDCL under Gujar Khan E.L. Discovered in August 1994, the field has remained a key asset in the Company’s portfolio.
This achievement underscores OGDCL’s commitment to maximizing hydrocarbon recovery and operational efficiency, reinforcing its position as a leader in Pakistan’s energy sector, the statement said.
