OGDCL has discovered fresh hydrocarbon resources in Kohat.

The discovery of additional oil and gas deposits in Kohat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been declared by the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL).

In a statement to the stock exchange, the company stated that after drilling for 2,600 meters, the discovery was made at the Togh Well-02 in Kohat.

According to the sources, the company would receive 28 barrels of oil and 2.842 mmcfd of gas from well number 2 in Togh Bala, an administrative unit of Kohat district, as part of the hydrocarbon discovery.

With a choke size of 32/64, the well pressure was recorded at 540 pounds per square inch.

Seventy-five percent of the joint venture with Safe Energy Ltd. was owned by OGDCL.

The nation’s foreign exchange reserves will be preserved thanks to the new find, which will also increase OGDCL’s oil and gas reserves.
