Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Karachi in Dera Bugti, Balochistan, Pakistan
Start-up Year: 1955
Reserves: 604,000,000 Cubic Feet
Sui gas field is the biggest natural gas field in Pakistan. It is located near Sui in Balochistan. The gas field was discovered in the late 1952 and the commercial exploitation of the field began in 1955. Located at a distance of about 650 kilometres (km) from Karachi in Dera Bugti, Balochistan, Sui is Pakistan Petroleum Limited’s flagship gas field. As a major production facility, Sui Gas Field (SGF) hosts the country’s largest gas compressor station and a purification plant.
At the time of its discovery, SGF was considered among the largest natural gas fields in the world with recoverable reserves of around 12 Tcf. Despite diminishing reserves over time, SGF still remains the highest natural gas producing field in Pakistan, contributing substantially to the country’s requirements with daily production of around 550 MMscf. In order to meet demand of contractual delivery volumes of gas sales, new wells, including horizontal wells, are being drilled at SGF to counter obsolescence and enhance production efficiencies. To this end, development well Sui 89(M) and SGF\'s first horizontal well Sui 93(M) were successfully drilled and commissioned. In addition, a development well Sui-97(H) in Habib Rahi Formation was also completed in 2008.
