Hydrocarbon-bearing intervals were identified based on drilling results and open-hole log data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During post-acid testing of the Chiltan Formation, good quality gas with a heating value of approximately 1,000 Btu\/scf flowed at a rate of 0.942 MMscfd (Million Standard Cubic Feet Per Day) against a Wellhead Flowing Pressure (WHFP) of 211 psig at a 32\/64&#8243; choke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During pre-acid testing of the same formation, condensate was also surfaced at an initial rate of 94 BPD (Barrels Per Day), which reduced to 46 BPD within 24 hours; no condensate was observed during the subsequent post-acid testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company noted that the initial encountering of condensate provides an encouraging indication of hydrocarbon potential in the Chiltan Formation for further exploration and evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PPL stated that the discovery has proved the presence of a petroleum system and opened a new exploration frontier across the onshore marshy area and its possible extensions into shallow offshore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/mettisglobal.news\/PPL-discovers-gas-from-Dolphin-X1-well-in-Sirani-Exploration-License-Sindh-62685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/mettisglobal.news\/PPL-discovers-gas-from-Dolphin-X1-well-in-Sirani-Exploration-License-Sindh-62685<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PSX: PPL), operator of the Sirani Exploration License holding 75% Working Interest (WI), along with Joint Venture Partner Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) holding 25% WI, made a gas discovery from its exploration well Dolphin X-1, located in District Sujawal, Sindh Province.
