Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has announced the enhancement in gas processing capacity at the Gambat South Gas Processing Facility (GPF-II), located in Gambat South Block, Sanghar district of Sindh Province, according to a filing with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Tuesday.
The company is the operator of the Gambat South Block with 65% working interest, along with joint venture partners Government Holdings (Private) Limited (GHPL) and Asia Resources Oil Limited (AROL) with 25% and 10% working interests, respectively.
The GPF-II Plant, originally commissioned in 2016 with a design capacity of 50 MMscfd of raw gas containing 26% CO2, was previously optimised during 2021-22 to handle 55 MMscfd of raw gas through operational improvements.
“As part of the company’s continuous process optimisation and feed enhancement initiatives, the facility has now successfully increased its processing capacity to 60 MMscfd of raw gas. This milestone has been achieved through Amine sweetening process optimisation by introducing a proprietary additive to the existing MDEA solvent system – accomplished without any hardware modification,” read the PPL’s notice.
As a result, the enhancement has translated into an incremental production gain of approximately 5 MMscfd of gas, 35 barrels per day of condensate, and 1 metric ton of LPG, reflecting PPL’s commitment to operational excellence and resource maximisation.
The company said that this achievement is a result of continuous production enhancement efforts to maximise domestic hydrocarbon output from existing fields in a cost-effective manner.
It added that the milestone has been realised with bare minimum cost, underscoring the company’s focus on efficiency, innovation, and value creation for its stakeholders.
Pakistan Petroleum Limited was incorporated in Pakistan in 1950 with the main objectives of conducting exploration, prospecting, development and production of oil and natural gas resources.
