PPL 拥有 Shah Bandar 区块 63% 的权益，合资伙伴包括 Mari Petroleum Company（32%）、Sindh Energy Holding Company（2.5%）和 Government Holdings (Private)（2.5%）。这一发现是在 Pateji X-1 勘探井发现的，钻井深度为 2475 米。该井于 2024 年 10 月 11 日开钻，目标是下戈鲁组的上层砂岩。

测试发现了含碳氢化合物区域，在 32/64 英寸节流阀处，井口流动压力为 2578 psig（磅/平方英寸表压），流量为 1170 万立方英尺^/天的天然气和 198 桶/天的凝析油。PPL 在钻井和测试方面的技术专长是这一发现的关键，凸显了该公司强大的运营能力。该公司仍致力于通过负责任的勘探和生产推动国家能源自给自足。

新发现的碳氢化合物储量将增强该国的能源基础设施，缓解持续的能源危机，减少对昂贵能源进口的依赖，并有助于保留宝贵的外汇储备。在相关发展中，MOL 集团的子公司 MOL Pakistan 于 8 月报告了在开伯尔-普什图省 TAL 区块发现的三个天然气。这些发现是在 Razgir-1 勘探井发现的，该井于 2024 年 1 月 9 日开钻，钻深 3950 米。

同样，印度石油和天然气开发公司 (OGDCL) 于 2 月宣布在 Kharo-1 井发现大量凝析油储量。OGDCL 与 GHPL 共同持有 Khewari 区块 95% 的股份，并成功完成深度达 3762 米的钻探作业。OGDCL 运营的 Kharo-1 井位于信德省 Khairpur 区的 Khewari 勘探许可区内。

PPL operates the Shah Bandar Block with a 63% working interest, alongside joint venture partners Mari Petroleum Company (32%), Sindh Energy Holding Company (2.5%) and Government Holdings (Private) (2.5%). The discovery was made at the Pateji X-1 exploration well, drilled to a depth of 2475 m. The well was spud on 11 October 2024, targeting the upper sands of the Lower Goru Formation.

Testing revealed hydrocarbon-bearing zones, with a flow rate of 11.7 million f³/d of gas and 198 bpd of condensate under a wellhead flowing pressure of 2578 psig (pounds per square inch gauge) at a 32/64 in. choke. PPL's technical expertise in drilling and testing was pivotal in this discovery and underscores the company’s strong operational capabilities. The company remains committed to driving national energy self-sufficiency through responsible exploration and production.

The addition of the newly discovered hydrocarbon reserves will bolster the country’s energy infrastructure, alleviate the ongoing energy crisis, reduce dependence on costly energy imports and help preserve valuable foreign exchange reserves. In a related development, MOL Pakistan, a subsidiary of MOL Group, reported three gas discoveries in the TAL Block, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in August. The discoveries were made at the Razgir-1 exploratory well, which was spud on 9 January 2024 and drilled to a depth of 3950 m.

Similarly, the Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDCL) announced the discovery of a substantial gas-condensate reserve at the Kharo-1 well in February. OGDCL, which holds a 95% stake in the Khewari Block with GHPL as a joint venture partner, successfully completed drilling operations to a depth of 3762 m. The OGDCL-operated Kharo-1 well is located within the Khewari exploration licence area in Khairpur district, Sindh Province.
