The Oil & Gas Development Company Ltd. (OGDC) of Pakistan has announced enhancement of oil production Kunnar-12 and Kunnar-6 wells at the Kunnar oilfield, resulting in incremental production of 1160 bpd of oil.
Production Enhancement – Kunnar-12 Well
OGDC announced enhancement of oil production from Kunnar-12 well, situated in District Hyderabad, Sindh. The well is part of OGDC's Kunnar Oil Field, with a 100% working interest in Kunnar Mining Lease Area. Following a reassessment of the well's potential through production optimisation, OGDC deployed a rig to replace the conventional Jet Pump with an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP). These measures have increased production at Kunnar Well-12 from 1060 bpd to 1820 bpd, an increase of 760 bpd.
Production Enhancement – Kunnar-6 Well
Kunnar-6 well, previously shut-in due to high water production and low oil recovery, has been successfully revived following a comprehensive plan. A series of rigless interventions in the Lower Goru Upper Sand, combined with re-completion using an artificial lift system (ESP), have optimised its performance. Kunnar-6 is now producing at a rate of 400 bpd of oil. These interventions have collectively resulted in an incremental production of 1160 bpd from Kunnar Oil Field. This achievement highlights OGDCL's technical expertise, innovative strategies, and commitment to maximising production from its assets, reaffirming its role as a key contributor to the nation’s energy security.
