“OGDC says it has struck a significant new gas discovery at Sahito-1 in Khairpur, Sindh.”
Key points
- OGDC says it has struck a significant new gas discovery at Sahito-1 in Khairpur, Sindh.
- The development could strengthen Pakistan's local energy supplies and reduce pressure created by chronic shortages and import reliance.
OGDC has announced a fresh gas discovery at the Sahito-1 exploratory well in Sindh's Khairpur district, calling it another step toward strengthening Pakistan's domestic energy base.
According to the company, testing in the Lower Goru Formation produced around 17.2 million standard cubic feet per day of gas, along with strong wellhead pressure readings that point to encouraging reservoir potential. The find follows closely after the start of production at another field, underlining an active phase of upstream energy development.
The discovery is being seen as important for a country that continues to face recurring supply constraints and import dependence. If commercial output is sustained, the field could help narrow Pakistan's energy gap and support efforts to improve indigenous resource availability.
