OMV said on Nov. 6 it has started production at the Sofiya gas and condensate field in Pakistan. The Sofiya Field is north of the Mehar gas field in the Mehar Block.
OMV Maurice Energy Ltd. along with its joint-venture partners Ocean Pakistan Ltd., Government Holdings Private Ltd. and Zaver Petroleum Corp. Ltd. discovered hydrocarbons at the Sofiya-2 well in August 2013. Development activities began in early 2017 after a development and production lease was granted.
The Sofiya-2 well was successfully commissioned without any incident. With this, OMV and its partners are increasing Mehar gas production by 15 million standard cubic feet per day and 1,400 barrels per day of condensate. Gas and condensate from the field are being processed at OMV-operated Mehar gas facilities in Shahdadkot, Sindh Province, Pakistan.
