At total depth of 4,940 metres and 1.3 km horizontal section in Chiltan Formation, NF Hor -1 is one of the deepest and longest horizontal wells in the tight gas reservoir drilled in Pakistan. It is also the country’s first well to be completed with ten-stage multi-frack. PPL made a tight gas discovery at NF X-1 in 2014. This was followed by extensive in-house geological and geophysical studies to design the optimum horizontal well to appraise the discovery.
Pakistan’s oil and gas discoveries touch record
‘Logging while drilling’ technology with real-time evaluation was used to successfully drill the horizontal section. Based on preliminary results, the well flowed; 1.3 mmscfd gas and 9 bbl/d of condensate at 32/64 choke size from one stage only.
