Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has increased gas production at its Gambat South block following a successful water shut-off operation at the Shahdad X-1 well.
The flow rate at Shahdad X-1 rose from 2.2 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) to 8.4 mmscfd.
This operation also reduced water production from 3,000 barrels per day (BPD) to 26 BPD, marking a substantial improvement in well performance.
Drilled in 2012 and operational since 2015, Shahdad X-1 originally produced 26 mmscfd of gas.
However, by 2024, production had declined due to significant water production. A Production Logging Tool (PLT) survey in August 2024 identified the need for effective remediation.
This operation is the first water shut-off in the Gambat South Block and marks the debut use of acid-soluble cement technology in PPL’s portfolio.
The success highlights PPL’s technical expertise, operational excellence, and commitment to enhancing production from mature fields.
