Pakistans proven and potential reserves of oil and gas

Pakistan economy is growing day by day. By this growth demands higher energy
consumption and which putting high pressure on countries economy. Pakistan mainly
depends upon oil and gas resources to fulfil their energy requirements .oil are not enough to fulfil
energy requirement of the growing economy. As a result Pakistan has to
import large quantity of oil and oil based products from Middle East countries. Gas reserves in
the country are enough for current gas requirements. So natural gas is playing a key role in
power sector.
1 Gas Companies and their wells in Pakistan
Pakistan recoverable reserves of natural gas were estimated at 24.7 trillion cubic feet (tcf) till 30
June 2013. The average production of natural gas during July 2012- March 2013 was 4,259 million
cubic feet per day (mcfpd). Pakistan is facing shortage of natural gas in winter. The reason of
shortage of natural gas is that nearly 2 million vehicles used compressed natural gas (CNG) as a
primary fuel[2]

OIL Companies and their wells

Recoverable reserves of crude oil in Pakistan till 31 December 2013, were estimated at 362 million
barrels. The average oil production during July 2012-2013 was 76,277 barrels per day (bpd).
Recently there have been new oil discoveries and the daily production of crude oil reaches 100,000
barrels per day (bpd) in May 2014. Demand for petroleum stands at approximately 450,000 barrels
per day (bpd). The oil and gas development company limited (OGDCL) is the largest producer of
crude oil in Pakistan

3 Oil and gas field in Pakistan

Oil and gas has been found in Potwar or upper Indus basin and Lower Indus basin and gas with
one gas or condensate discovery in Sulaiman or middle Indus basin. [1]
3.1 Potwar (Upper Indus) basin
Sadkal field, Missa Keswal field, Fimkassar oil field, Dhurnal field and Adhi field are all located
in Potwar basin. In Koht-Potwar, where mostly oil is found, the proven reservoirs are Muree
formation (Miocene), Sakesar limestone (Eocene), Hangu and Lockhart (Paleocene), Lumshiwal
sandstone (Cretaceous)

Datta sandstone

(Jurassic), Wargal

formation

and

Tobra

formation(Permian)and Khewra sandstone (Cambrian). The source rock in Kohat area is probably
Chichali formation (Lower Cretaceous), and in Potwar, Patala shale (Paleocene) is considered as
the source rock. [4]
3.1.1

Sadkal field

It is discovered in June 1992 and is located Northern Potwar zone in Punjab Attock district.

This field reserve 738,000 bbl of oil.

In 1994, average production was 2819 b/d of il and 28.9 MMcfd of gas.

3.1.2

Missa Keswal field

This field is discovered in August 1991. It is located at East Potwar on OGDCs Gujar
Khan E.L. in the Rawalpindi district of Punjab.

This field were 34.73 million bbl of oil original reserves. In 1994, the production was 4930
b/d of oil and 8.094 MMcfd of gas.

Reservoir Pressure was 4204 psia.

3.1.3
