MOL has announced a new commercial discovery from the MOL operated exploration well Mardan Khel-1 in the TAL Block. Mardan Khel-1 was drilled as an exploration well in TAL Block, located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. It was spudded on September 17, 2014 and the well reached target depth of 4,912 metres on February 17, 2015. The Mardan Khel-1 well in the TAL Block tested four formations and all flowed with high volumes of gas and condensate. The two best tested zones (Lumshiwal and Lockhart) yielded 4,300 boepd gas along with 2,100 bpd condensate and respectively 4,000 boepd gas along with 1,840 bpd condensate. The well will be completed as a producer and tied-in to the Makori Central Processing Facility. The current total production capacity of the facilities in the Tal block is 80 kboepd gas and 37 kboepd of liquids per day. This capacity is sufficient to integrate the new well.
