巴基斯坦石油公司（PPL）在旁遮普省阿托克县的Dhok Sultan-03井发现了重要的油气。这是Dhok Sultan区块的第二个油气发现，也是波特瓦尔地区天然裂缝性碳酸盐岩中第二深的油气发现。

PPL作为作业公司，于2025年1月18日开钻了Dhok Sultan-03井。该井钻至5,815米深，测试了Patala和Lockhart地层的油气潜力。测试结果令人鼓舞。该井在32/64英寸节流阀上，井口流动压力(WHFP)为1,147 psig，日产原油1,469桶/天和天然气256万标准立方英尺；在48/64英寸节流阀上，井口流动压力(WHFP)为813 psig，日产原油2,113桶/天和天然气413万标准立方英尺。

Pakistan Petroleum (PPL) made a significant oil and gas discovery at its Dhok Sultan-03 well, located in District Attock, Punjab Province. This discovery, the second in the Dhok Sultan Block, marks the second-deepest oil discovery in naturally fractured carbonate in the Potwar region.

PPL, as operator, spudded the Dhok Sultan-03 well on 18 January 2025. Drilled to an depth of 5,815 m, the well tested the hydrocarbon potential of the Patala and Lockhart formations. Testing results were highly encouraging. The well flowed 1,469 barrels per day of oil (bopd) and 2.56 million std cu ft of gas at a Wellhead Flowing Pressure (WHFP) of 1,147 psig on a 32/64” choke, and 2,113 bopd and 4.13 million std cu ft of gas at WHFP of 813 psig on a 48/64” choke.
