Without a doubt, this beneficial exploration will indeed rectify the financial turmoil Pakistan is currently facing. Quoting the media reports, the OGDCL discovered the new oil and gas reserves while drilling in Sindh’s areas for Shale and Tight oil deposits. Upon actively drilling some potential areas of the province regarding other findings, the new exploration might turn into Pakistan’s interest.

Soon after the news got public, details regarding the greasy discovery started to pour in. After conducting a preliminary test it was revealed that the explored well could easily produce 50 barrels of crude oil per day (BPD). Not just the crude oil but it would also produce gas of about 4.1 million standard cubic feet each day (MMSCFD).

As per the OGDCL’s official statement, “The discovery would increase hydrocarbon reserves in the country and the discovery will also have a positive impact on the country’s economy”.

Specifically, the drilling authorities continued after getting encouraged by the positive results in the initial testing phase. However, unfortunately, global oil prices have soared after the attack on Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil plant. Apparently, the recent oil and gas discovery can loosen a lot of burdens off Pakistan if utilized honestly and sensibly.
