ISLAMABAD, June 4, 2026 — The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (Oil and Gas Development Company Limited) has brought 11 new wells into production across Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Balochistan during the first 10 months of FY2025–26, significantly increasing indigenous oil and gas output.
According to official production data, the newly commissioned wells have added 9,734 barrels per day (BPD) of oil and 74.25 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of gas to Pakistan’s energy system.
Officials said the development represents the company’s highest annual contribution from newly commissioned wells in the past four years, reflecting accelerated efforts to enhance domestic hydrocarbon production, improve energy security and reduce reliance on imported fuels.
