History

[edit]

Oil & Gas Development Corporation (OGDC) was established through an ordinance dated 20 September 1961 by the Government of Pakistan with the help of Soviet Union under a $30 million oil exploration loan signed in February 1961.[7][8] OGDC received equipment and technical services under a $30 million loan.[9]

On 23 October 1997 it was restructured into a public limited company thus becoming Oil and Gas Development Company Limited OGDCL.[10] In 2004, OGDCL was listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange, following an initial public offering at a strike price of PKR 32 per share.[11]

On 4 May 2009, the government of Pakistan appointed a Citigroup-led consortium to advise the state-run Privatisation Commission on the sale of 10 to 15 percent (or 430 to 645 million shares) of the company. OGDCL is the second Pakistani company to have been listed at the London Stock Exchange.

Discoveries and exploration

[edit]

OGDCL utilizes seismic as the primary imaging technology for exploration of hydrocarbons. It currently operates five seismic acquisition crews, capable of acquiring 2D/3D data in diversified terrains.[12]

During the fiscal year ended 30 June 2006 the company made several oil and gas discoveries, including at Nim-1, Dars Deep-1, Tando Allah Yar North-1, Kunnar Deep-1 and Bahu-1. OGDCL's daily production, including share from joint ventures, averaged 39,659 barrels (6,305.3 m3) of oil; 937 million cubic feet (26,500,000 m3) of gas, and 358 metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas. The Company holds exploration acreage comprising 40 exploration licenses covering an area of 75,905 square kilometres, including 16 exploration licenses covering an area of 28,066 square kilometres granted to OGDCL during fiscal 2006.[13] During 2009–2010, the company acquired four new exploration blocks (Channi Pull, Jandran west, Lakhi Rud and Mari east), covering area of around 4,795 Square kilometres. Three exploration licenses namely Khiranwala, Thatta and Thatta east were surrendered and operatorship of offshore Indus-S was transferred to BP Alpha.
