Oil & Gas Development Company Limited has announced a new oil and gas discovery from its exploratory well, Bobi Deep-1, located in the Bobi and Dhamraki Mining Lease in Sanghar district, Sindh.
In a notice dated June 3, 2026, the company said it made the discovery as the operator of the lease with 100 percent working interest. According to OGDCL, the well produced 2,000 barrels of oil per day and 1.1 million standard cubic feet of gas per day during a cased-hole Drill Stem Test conducted in the Massive Sand of the Lower Goru Formation.
The test was carried out at a choke size of 32/64 inch, while the wellhead flowing pressure was recorded at 1,050 pounds per square inch.
OGDCL said Bobi Deep-1 was re-entered on May 3, 2026 to assess the hydrocarbon potential of the massive sands in the Lower Goru Formation. The well was drilled to a total depth of 3,305 meters in the Sembar Formation using the company’s in-house technical and operational capabilities.
The company described the find as a major milestone for the Bobi and Dhamraki Mining Lease, saying it is the first hydrocarbon discovery from the Massive Sand play in the area. It added that the discovery not only establishes a new exploration play but also reduces the risk for similar prospects in the surrounding region, potentially creating fresh opportunities for exploration and resource growth.
OGDCL said the discovery is expected to help narrow Pakistan’s energy demand-supply gap through indigenous resources while also adding to the hydrocarbon reserves base of both the company and the country.
According to Arif Habib Ltd, this discovery is expected to contribute approximately *PKR 1.67 per share* annually to OGDC earnings.
The company further said the development underscores the continuing potential of Pakistan’s sedimentary basins to support domestic energy security.
