Khairpur, Sindh: Production from the Sahito-1 gasfield has started at 6.0 MMSCFD. The processed gas is injected into the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited network, OGDCL said in a statement.
Oil and Gas Development Company Limited said gas supply from the Sahito-1 gasfield in Khairpur district had begun. The company said production would rise gradually after the planned surface-facility expansion.
OGDCL laid a 6-inch, 5-kilometre flowline to connect the well to the Suleman Gathering Facility. This is for onward processing at the Sinjhoro Plant. The company said the work enabled early monetisation of the discovery.
