Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Sindh, Pakistan
Reserves: 4.0 Tcf
Start-up Year: October 1995
Located in Sindh, Qadirpur gas field ranks as the second largest gas field in Pakistan after Sui, with original recoverable reserves of about 4.0 Tcf. The field was developed in three phases, increasing its capacity from the initial 235 MMscfd to 500 MMscfd. In 2008, the capacity was further enhanced to 600 MMscfd. In order to maintain long-term sales gas supply, an interim compression project has been commissioned in 2010. Purified gas from the field is supplied to SNGPL while raw gas and condensate is sold to Liberty Power. Besides, permeate gas is supplied to Engro Power Limited since March 2010. The Qadirpur gas field was discovered in 1990 following a seismic survey on the Qadirpur block. The field was declared commercial in 1992 and production commenced in October 1995. The field operator is the OGDCL, the state-owned oil and gas company.
OGDCL drilled four new development wells at Qadirpur gas field during the 2016 fiscal year as well as completing various pressure and well flow workovers.
Phase I of the Qadirpur development was completed with gas supplies, initially at the rate of 100 mmcfd, commencing to SNGPL in October 1995. Shortly thereafter, gas sales were increased to 200 mmcfd and were maintained at that level until late 1999. In addition, in December 2000, raw gas supply started to the nearby Liberty power plant at 40 mmcfd.
Phase II of the Qadirpur development was completed in January 2004 expanding the gas plant capacity to 400 mmcfd.
Phase III of the development was completed in the first quarter of 2004 when total gas sales from Qadirpur gas field were increased from 400 mmcfd to 500 mmcfd. The project to enhance the plant capacity from 500 mmcfd to 600 mmcfd achieved first gas in the first quarter of 2008. In addition, an extended reach development well was completed in June 2011 and has been tied in to the production facility. The partners in the Qadirpur field are OGDCL (operator), Premier Oil, KUFPEC Pakistan B.V. and Pakistan Petroleum Company Limited.
