Oil and Gas Development Company Ltd (OGDCL) has plugged and abandoned the Qadirpur Deep X-1 deeper pool wildcat (DPW) well within the Qadirpur D&PL (Middle Indus Basin) onshore block during late April 2019 after carrying out testing. It is understood that the well was unsuccessful in finding the hydrocarbons. It was drilled to a TD of 1,454 m depth, reached in early April 2018, where a 9 5/8â casing was set. The well was spudded on 23 December 2018 using the âHL-17â land rig with a prognosed TD of 4,830 m in the Cretaceous. It was mainly targeting the Cretaceous Lower Goru Formation and had an estimated cost of USD 20 million.  Qadirpur Deep X-1 was drilling at 514 m depth by the end of December 2018 and reached 1,448 m depth by the end of January 2019. The well encountered mud loss problem in mid-February 2019 after drilling to 1,454 m depth. A cementing operation was initiated in late February which was continuing till end of March 2019.  OGDCL had drilled the Qadirpur Deep 1 well in 2007 to a TD of 4,703 m in the Jurassic Chiltan Formation. Although five DSTs were undertaken (three in the Cretaceous Sembar Formation and two in the Cretaceous Lower Goru Formation), it is understood that only one DST was successful - the well reported to have flowed 4.28 MMcf/d (and 46 bw/d) from the Sembar Formation over an 18m interval between 4,478-4,496 m through a 32/64" choke at a wellhead flowing pressure of 770 psi.   Qadirpur D&P covers an area of 389 sq km, in the Sindh province and was awarded to OGDCL on 18 August 1992. Production from the field, which is estimated to have recoverable reserves of 5.1 Tcf, is believed to have commenced in September 1995. Operator OGDCL holds a 75% stake in the lease. The remaining interest is split between Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (Kufpec) (13.25%), Pakistan Petroleum Ltd (PPL) (7%), and Premier Oil Plc (4.75%).    Eocene Sui Main Limestone (SML) and Sui Upper Limestone (SUL) are the main reservoirs for this field. The gas also has been discovered from Upper Eocene Habib Rahi Limestone and Cretaceous Sembar Formation.
Qadirpur Deep X 1 (OGDCL 75% op. KUFPEC 13,25%, PPL 7%, Premier Oil 4,75%) in Qadirpur D&PL block, P&A, the well was targeting Cretaceous exploratory targets under the producing Eocene Qadirpur gas field and after carrying out testing. It is understood that the well was unsuccessful in finding the hydrocarbons..
