Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has announced the successful commissioning of the Faiz X-1 Deep (Basal Sand) well located in the Gambat South Block.
In a notification submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Friday, the company stated that the well is now operational and contributing to domestic energy supplies.
Faiz X-1 Deep Well Declared Commercially Viable
According to PPL, the Faiz X-1 Deep well was originally drilled in 2014. However, the discovery could not be developed at the time because nearby pipeline infrastructure was unavailable, making the project economically unfeasible.
The company said that after the establishment of connectivity with pipelines linked to other wells, along with a detailed technical and economic re-evaluation, the Basal Sand interval was determined to be commercially viable.
PPL subsequently carried out well intervention activities and installed the required surface facilities to bring the well into production.
Production Reaches 3.6 MMscfd Gas Output
The company disclosed that the commissioning process included isolation of deeper intervals, execution of well intervention jobs, installation of surface facilities and construction of approximately 4.5 kilometres of feeder pipeline.
The feeder line was integrated into the existing gas gathering network for onward delivery to the Gambat South Gas Processing Facilities.
According to PPL, the well was commissioned on February 25, 2026, and production was gradually ramped up in stages.
The well is currently producing approximately 3.6 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas along with around 750 barrels per day (bpd) of condensate after optimisation of operational parameters.
PPL Highlights Contribution to Pakistan’s Energy Needs
PPL stated that the increase in condensate supplies reflects the company’s commitment to monetising discoveries in a cost-effective manner while contributing towards Pakistan’s growing energy requirements.
The company added that the disclosure was issued in compliance with Section 96 of the Securities Act, 2015 and Clause 5.6.1 of the Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited Regulations.
