Islamabad December 11 2023: Mari Petroleum Company Limited (MPCL), the largest gas producing company in Pakistan, has successfully drilled and tested a third horizontal development well Mari-124H in Habib Rahi Limestone (HRL) Reservoir of Mari Gas Field in Daharki, Sindh Province.
The well is part of the Mari Field Revitalization Project aimed at better managing the delivery pressure, sustaining the gas production, and optimal reserves recovery, all leading to the arrest of the depletion in production.
The well was drilled to a total measured depth of 1,740 meters with a horizontal section length of around 750 meters. After completion, the well was tested at a rate of around 17 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas at a flowing wellhead pressure of 470 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The well will be put on regular production immediately after releasing the drilling Rig. The company is evaluating opportunities to drill additional horizontal wells in due course.
MPCL is the Operator of Mari Gas Field with 100% working interest.
