PPL brings Faiz X-1 well on stream after decade

KARACHI:

Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has successfully commissioned Faiz X-1 Deep (Basal Sand) at its operated Gambat South Block in Sanghar, Sindh, according to a statement issued on Saturday.

Production was ramped up in stages since its commissioning on February 25, 2026, currently flowing about 3.6 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas and 750 barrels per day (bpd) of condensate after optimisation of operational parameters.

Drilled in 2014, the Faiz X-1 discovery could not be developed earlier because of the absence of nearby pipeline infrastructure, which made the project uneconomical. After pipeline connectivity, the Basal Sand interval was determined to be commercially viable.
