 Foreword
The increase in demand together with hike in oil and gas prices
during the recent past has built-up attention towards the
exploration and production (E&P) sector worldwide. The trend has
also influenced the E&P activities in Pakistan, where the energy
demand and supply gap is continuously widening.

 Pakistan’s Energy Sector
Pakistan is situated at a geo-strategic and geo-political location,
with the oil-rich Central Asian Republics to the north, Iran to the
west and huge markets of China and India to the north and east.

GoP is committed to accelerate an demand from indigenous production. Oil

exploration and development programme
through a liberal Petroleum Policy 2009 to
enhance domestic crude oil and gas
production and supply to reduce the burden
of imported fossil fuel on national economy.
The E&P sector in Pakistan experienced
exceptional growth since independence in
1947. Over the last sixty years, the sector
has played a significant role in the
development of nation by making a large
number of oil and gas discoveries.
Pakistan meets about 15 percent of its oil
and gas is the major energy source of
Pakistan, contributing over 78 percent of
the energy consumption and GoP has
given high priority to this sector since
independence. The remaining 22 percent
is derived from hydropower, coal, liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG), nuclear and
imported power. GoP has adopted
consistent policies aimed at promoting
foreign investment in the upstream
petroleum sector. Pakistan’s commercially
exploitable energy resources include
natural gas, oil, coal, hydropower, solar

and wind. During 2008-09, the country’s
primary commercial energy supply was
about 63 million tonnes of oil equivalent.
Over the years, Pakistan’s downstream
sector has shown remarkable
development. Pakistan has one of the
world’s best gas transmission networks,
which caters for the industrial as well as
domestic demand. Increased demand for
oil and gas and attractive fiscal regime in
the country provide opportunities for E&P
companies to develop new discoveries on
a fast-track-basis. Moreover, this is
providing impetus to E&P companies to
venture in areas, where little or no
exploration activity had been conducted.
The country needs to revamp its
indigenous resources and find ways to
import energy in the form of LNG and
piped natural gas.
Due to its strategic geographical location,
Pakistan can acquire economic benefit by
providing transit route for fulfilling the
regions’ energy requirements as well as
its own needs. In addition, generation of
energy through alternate sources is also
being considered by GoP.

 Pakistan’s – Hydrocarbon
Prospectivity
Exploration History
Oil and Gas sector in Pakistan has seen
phenomenal growth since 1947. During
the last 60 years, petroleum industry
played a significant role in national
development by making large indigenous
gas discoveries. Brief description of
these exploration efforts are presented
below:
ONSHORE: The first exploration well in
the undivided British India which is now
Pakistan, was drilled in 1868 near an oil
seep at Kundal in District Mianwali,
Punjab by Punjab Oriental State (POS).
Later on, wells sunk to about 150 m near
Kathan oil seeps produced 800,000
gallons of oil between 1886 and 1892.
But the first commercial oil discovery was
made in 1915 at Khaur (4.31 MMbo),
District Attock, Punjab, by Attock Oil
Company (AOC). In 1937 AOC made a
significant oil discovery in Dulian (81
MMboe). In 1952, PPL made the largest
known gas discovery at Sui. The original
recoverable gas reserves at Sui were
about 13 Tcf. The discovery of Sui Gas
Field was the first major milestone in the
search for hydrocarbons in Pakistan.
Later, other significant discoveries of
natural gas were made at Uch (909
MMboe) by PPL in 1955, Mari
(1.3 Bboe) by ESSO in 1957 and
Kandhkot (299 MMboe) by PPL in 1959.
Meyal (95 MMboe) Oil field was discovered
in 1968 in Potwar (Punjab) by POL.
Following a marginal gas discovery at
Rodho (261 Bcf) in Cretaceous/
Paleocene clastics and carbonates,
OGDCL made a significant size gas/
condensate discovery in 1976 at Dhodak
(95 MMboe) in Punjab. Two years later,
6
PPL discovered Adhi Oil and Gas Field
(146 MMboe) in Potwar. This was the
first commercial gas/ condensate
discovery in the rocks of Paleozoic age in
east Potwar area.
In 1981, British Petroleum (BP) formerly
known as Union Texas Pakistan (UTP)
discovered oil at Khaskeli (14 MMbo) in
the Lower Indus Basin (Sindh) in early
Cretaceous Lower Goru sands. After Sui,
the discovery of oil in the Lower Indus
Basin was the second milestone in the
search for hydrocarbons in Pakistan. This
led to a boom in exploration activity in
the Lower Indus Basin, resulting in
several oil discoveries.
In 1984, Oxy (Currently OPII) discovered
an oil and gas field Dhurnal (73 MMboe)
in Permian and Eocene carbonates in
northern Potwar Basin.
The first natural gas discovery in the
Punjab Platform was made by OGDCL at
Nandpur (107 Bcf) in 1984 followed by
Panjpir (96 Bcf) in 1985 from Jurassic
carbonates and Cretaceous sandstones.
OGDCL made a sizeable gas discovery in
the Middle Indus Basin at Qadirpur (4.5
Tcf) in 1989. During the same year, Eni
made a gas discovery at Kadanwari (490
Bcf), south of Khairpur-Jacobabad High.
Following these, a number of significant
gas discoveries have been made in the
Middle Indus Basin, including Miano (828
Bcf) in 1993 and Sawan (2.3 Tcf) in 1998
by OMV of Austria, Mari Deep (1.2 Tcf) in
1997 by MGCL and Rehmat (114 Bcf) in
2001 by Petronas of Malaysia, all in early
Cretaceous Lower Goru sandstones.
In 1994, OGDCL made oil discovery at
Rajian (8.43 MMbo) from sub-thrust play

7
 (USA) carried out seismic surveys and
based on this, drilled three near-shore
wells, Dabbo Creek-1 (1963), Patiani
Creek-1 (1964) and Korangi Creek-1
(1964). Subsequently, Wintershall
(Germany) drilled three wells, Indus
Marine A-1 (1972), Indus Marine B-1
(1972) and Indus Marine C-I (1975).
Husky (USA) also drilled one well, Karachi
South A-l (1978). But all of these went
dry, although gas shows were reported in
most wells. Some of these wells even
failed to reach target objectives after
having encountered high pressures in
Miocene Section. For the first time, non-
commercial gas quantities flowed from
Miocene sands in OGDCL’s PakCan-1 well
drilled in 1986.
Occidental (USA), drilled a well Sadaf-1
(1989) after conducting modern seismic
survey but it also turned out to be a dry
hole. TOTAL drilled Pak G-2 up to a depth
of 4,750 meters in the water depth of
2,713m during 2004, targeting an
Eocene carbonate buildup. Although this
well was a commercial failure, it proved
the presence of good quality Eocene
carbonate reservoir. Subsequently Shell
drilled Anne -X1 well in deep water
(1300m) at a depth of 3,250m during
2007 to test a deep water multi-stacked
submarine channel sand system. Later
on, Eni drilled Shark-01 well upto depth
of 3500m in early 2010. Both these wells
also went dry.
This indicates a staggered history of
exploration in the offshore Indus with a
few wells drilled during the last 60 years.
Only a couple of these can be regarded
as valid tests. The basin holds
considerable potential for hydrocarbon
discoveries and at present there are 17
offshore licences being operated by
various E&P companies, including BP,
Eni, PEL, OGDCL and Niko Resources for
making a first breakthrough in the
Offshore Indus.
In Makran offshore, Jal Pari 1-A well was
drilled by Marathon (USA) during 1976 to
1977, after conducting extensive seismic
surveys. The well was abandoned due to
uncontrolled over pressures. Later,
Ocean Energy (USA) drilled two wells,
8
Gwadar-1 and Pasni-1 during 2000-01,
which also went dry. PPL drilled another
exploration well on Pasni structure, Pasni
X-2 in 2005 but it also went dry. None of
the wells drilled in the Makran offshore
encountered the targeted Oligocene
Panjgur Sandstone.
Although exploration efforts have not
been successful in the basin but
thorough evaluation is required to
establish the prospectivity of the basin.
Sedimentary Basins
and Hydrocarbon
Prospectivity
Pakistan is divided into 6 onshore and 2
offshore sedimentary basins. Onshore
basins include Kohat-Potwar, Middle
Indus, Lower Indus, Kirthar Foldbelt,
Sulaiman Foldbelt and Balochistan.
Offshore basins include Indus and
Makran.
KOHAT-POTWAR
(UPPER INDUS BASIN)
The basin is located in Northern Pakistan
north of Sargodha High. The basin has
rocks ranging in age from Pre-Cambrian
to recent. Total sedimentary thickness of
the basin is up to 12,000 meters, holding
potential for both oil and gas. The basin
is further divided into Potwar to the east
and Kohat to the west of River Indus.
Potwar is one of the oldest regions
known for oil and gas accumulations.
Kohat emerged as an oil and gas prone
region after the discovery of Chanda in
1999 followed by Manzalai in 2002. A
total of 163 exploration wells (including 5
currently active wells) have been drilled
since 1900 up to July, 2010 in Kohat-
Potwar basin, resulting in 36 discoveries.
Discovered oil and gas reserves of the
basin as of January, 2010 are
approximately 545 MMbo (Pindori,
Dhurnal, Dhulian, Makori, Nashpa, Mela
etc.) and 5 Tcf gas (Manzalai, Makori,
Adhi, Maramzai etc.) respectively.

Basin studies suggest that Middle Indus
Basin has prognosticated remaining
potential of 90 MMbo and 2 Tcf gas.
LOWER INDUS
Being the sourthern part of the Indus
Basin, the Lower Indus Basin is located
to the east of Kirthar Foldbelt. The basin
has rocks from Pre-Cambrian to recent
age. Total sedimentary thickness of the
basin ranges from a few hundred meters
in the east near Nagar Parkar High to
about 8,000 meters in the west. This is
one of the most oil prone basins of the
country. A total of 380 exploration wells
(including 1 currently active well) have
been drilled since 1900 up to July, 2010
in Lower Indus basin, resulting in 159
discoveries. The basin’s discovered oil
and gas reserves are 395 MMbo and 9
Tcf gas. Major fields include Badin oil
fields and Sawan and Miano gas fields.
Basin studies suggest that Lower Indus
Basin has prognosticated remaining
potential of 200 MMbo and 3 Tcf gas.
KIRTHAR FOLDBELT
Kirthar Foldbelt is the north-south
trending tectonic feature that came into
existence after the collision between
Indian and Eurasian Plates. The fold
includes Kirthar Foldbelt, Kirthar
Foredeep and southern Axial Belt. The
foldbelt has exposed rocks from Triassic
to recent age. Total sedimentary
thickness of the basin is up to 12,000
meters. A total of 75 exploratory wells
have been drilled in this foldbelt
resulting in 12 discoveries (July, 2010).
Discovered oil and gas reserves of the
foldbelt are 12 MMBbl and 5 Tcf
respectively. Zamzama and Bhit are
major fields of Kirthar Foldbelt.
PPL’s basin studies suggest that Kirthar
Foldbelt has prognosticated remaining
potential of 290 MMBbl and 3 Tcf for oil
and gas respectively.
10
SULAIMAN FOLDBELT
Sulaiman Foldbelt is one of the most
prospective regions of Pakistan, which
includes Sulaiman Foldbelt, Sulaiman
Foredeep and northern part of Axial Belt.
The foldbelt has exposed rocks from
Triassic to recent age. Total sedimentary
thickness of the basin is up to 12,000
meters. A total of 57 exploration wells
have been drilled since 1900 up to July,
2010 in Sulaiman Foldbelt, resulting in
23 discoveries. Total discovered
reserves of the basin are 35 MMbo and
27 Tcf gas. Some of the large fields of
Pakistan are located in Sulaiman
Foldbelt, including Sui, Uch, Qadirpur
and Dhodak.
Basin studies suggest that Sulaiman
Foldbelt has prognosticated remaining
potential of 140 MMbo and
24 Tcf gas.
BALOCHISTAN
Balochistan Basin is the least explored
basin of Pakistan. Only 6 exploration
wells have been drilled (July, 2010)
without success. One of the most
interesting parts of the basin is Kharan
Fore-arc. Total sedimentary thickness of
the basin ranges from 5,000 to 10,000
meters. This fore-arc is analogous to
prolific fore-arc basins of the world,
including Cook Inlet Basin, Alaska (which
has already produced more than 1
billion barrels of oil and 9 Tcf of gas) and
Salin Sub-basin of Myanmar
(approximately 850 MMbo recoverable
reserves). No well has so far been drilled
in Kharan Fore-arc Basin.
According to PPL’s basin studies,
Balochistan Basin’s prognosticated
potential is 2 BBbl oil and 6 Tcf gas.
INDUS OFFSHORE
Indus Offshore is analogous to world’s
most prolific Niger (Total Reserves: 45
BBoe), Mahakam (Total Reserves: 11
BBoe) and Nile (Total Reserves: 5 BBoe)
deltas. The basin has a non-commercial
gas discovery of PakCan-1, suggestive of
working petroleum system in the basin.
Paleocene Outcrops at Ranikot Fort, Dadu, Pakistan

The oldest rocks encountered in the well
are from Eocene age, however, the basin
may have rocks up to Pre-Cambrian age.
Total sedimentary thickness is up to
12,000 meters in the middle part of the
basin. A total of 13 wells (including 1
currently active) have been drilled in the
basin (July, 2010), only a couple of which
may be regarded as valid tests. The basin
holds considerable potential for
hydrocarbon discoveries.
The basin has rocks from Paleocene to
recent age. Total sedimentary thickness
of the basin is up to 12,000 meters. So
far, 4 wells have been drilled in the basin
without success (July, 2010). This is
partially due to high pressures
encountered before reaching target
reservoir of Oligocene Panjgur Sandstone.
Thorough evaluation is required to
establish prospectivity of this basin.

Basin studies conducted by PPL suggest

that Indus Offshore has prognosticated
potential of 800 MMbo and 5 Tcf of gas.

MAKRAN OFFSHORE
This basin is located along the Makran
coast to the west of Murray Ridge.
Makran was formed as a result of
collision and subsequent subduction of
Arabian plate beneath the Eurasian plate.

 Company Profile
The pioneer of the natural gas industry in the country,
Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has been a key player
in the energy sector since the 1950s.

The Company has managed to sustain its
position due to its robust business
programme and persistent efforts to
optimize production from existing fields
and new discoveries, currently contributing
about 25 percent of the country’s total
natural gas supplies in addition to crude
oil, Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) and Liquefied
Petroleum Gas (LPG).
From the landmark discovery of Sui in 1952,
to offshore drilling ventures followed by
international exploration, the Company has
always been on the frontline of the domestic
E&P sector. The Company’s history can be
traced back to the establishment of a public
limited Company in June 1950, the majority
shares of which were held by Burmah Oil
Company (BOC) of the United Kingdom.
In September 1997, BOC sold its equity in
PPL to the Government of Pakistan. In July
12
2004, the GOP, in turn, sold 15 percent of its
holding in PPL to the general public through
an Initial Public Offer, reducing its share to
69 percent. The remaining equity is divided
between private investors and the PPL
Employees Empowerment Trust, holding
21.6 percent and 9.4 percent, respectively.
Currently, the Company operates five
producing fields across the country at Sui
(Pakistan’s largest gas field), Adhi,
Kandhkot, Chachar and Mazarani and holds
working interest in seven partner-operated
producing fields. These are Qadirpur, Miano,
Sawan, Hasan, Sadiq & Khanpur (Block 22)
and Manzalai. Additionally discoveries from
Makori (Tal Block), Mela & Nashpa (Nashpa
Block), Latif (Latif Block) and Tajjal (Gambat
Block) are under appraisal phase through
early production. Besides, PPL has an
operated discovery of Adam (Hala Block)
and partner-operated discoveries of

 PPL’s Exploration Efforts:
Past and Present
PPL’s long history of exploration has witnessed several episodes
of activities with varying vigor.The major breakthrough came in
the form of the discovery of Sui Gas Field in 1952.

A rig in Mazarani Gas Field, 1958

This was followed by gas discoveries at
Zin, Uch, Kandhkot, Khairpur and
Mazarani and an oil discovery at Karsal.
During 1950 to 1960, PPL drilled 19
exploration wells, made six discoveries
and added 16.5 Tcf gas and 0.2 MMbo.
To this end, PPL’s exploration activities
came to a low key due to the lack of big
gas market at that time.
PPL re-started its exploration campaign,
after a pause of over a decade on a
limited basis in mid seventies in five areas
in joint venture with AMOCO, which
16
resulted in the discovery of Adhi Gas / Oil
Field in East Potwar Exploration Licence.
PPL formed a Consortium of Companies in
1988, including Premier Consolidated Oil
Fields Plc (Premier) and Burmah for
exploration (as non-operator) in five areas.
The Qadirpur gas discovery (4.5 Tcf) was
made as a result of this exploration
campaign. Subsequently, during 1989
when the first ever bidding round in the
country was announced by the
Government, PPL acquired working interest
in seven new exploration joint ventures (as
Multiphase folding in Anjira Formation of Jurassic Age, Kalat, Pakistan
operator in three areas). This campaign
resulted in gas discoveries at Miano and
Sawan and gas/condensate at Savi Ragha.
After transferring of BOC assets in PPL to
Government of Pakistan in 1997 and
removal of financial constraints,
exploration efforts were accelerated by the
Company. During the last 10 years (2000
to June 2010), PPL acquired working
interest in 47 exploration blocks adding to
8 already held by the Company in
Pakistan. PPL also acquired working
interest in one block located in Yemen as a
joint venture partner with OMV and
YGCOG. Moreover, during this time, PPL
also drilled 37 exploration wells in its
operated and partner-operated areas. PPL
has made discoveries in its operated and
partner operated areas with 2P
recoverable reserves size of 16 Tcf gas
and 47 MMbo (PPL’s share) since start of
exploration in early 1950s to June, 2010.
Only during the last five years, ten
discoveries have been made with one in
PPL’s operated area.
*Please see PPL’s Held Interest Map and Exploration Assets at page 13 and 18 respectively
PPL’s Existing
E&P Assets
PPL continues to strive to maximize its
hydrocarbon reserves through exploration
and production optimization in order to
maintain its position as the premier
exploration and production company in
the country.
The Company is aggressively pursuing
exploration opportunities and has been
successful in substantially expanding its
exploration portfolio during the last few years.
Currently, the Company holds working interest
in 36* exploration blocks, 19 PPL-operated
and 17 partner-operated blocks, including
one block in Yemen. Additionally farm-in
efforts are underway to acquire working
interest in few more blocks. These efforts will
lead to substantial portfolio expansion.
The Company intends to contribute
effectively towards the Nation’s economic
development by optimizing production
17
 from its operated and partner-operated
producing fields. Additionally, recent
discoveries from Makori, Mela, Latif,
Adam, Nashpa and Tajjal are under
appraisal phase through early
production and fast track development
while plans for early production from
Mamikhel, Maramzai and Rehman are
underway. Summary of PPL’s E&P

Exploration opportunities

R
available with PPL
ecent extensive studies conducted in-house as well as
by a consultant spanning over several years of data
gathering and interpretation thereof suggest presence of
significant hydrocarbon resource potential in different
sedimentary basins of Pakistan. Besides significant
hydrocarbon resource potential in the frontier Balochistan
Basin, one of the astonishing outcome of these studies is the
suggestion that prominent hydrocarbon resource potential also
is expected in the mature Indus basins. This, coupled with
energy starved readily available domestic market provides
enough impetus for continued exploration efforts with renewed
vigor in these basins. Whilst exploration in frontier Balochistan
Basin can still be carried out on the basis of modern version of
old technologies, exploration in the Lower Indus Basin, where
Pakistan Petroleum Limited has recently acquired 8 exploration
licenses, will require state-of- the art acquisition and
interpretive techniques for finding hydrocarbons from
unconventional traps. These techniques are expected to
convert conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resource
potential in to reserves base, especially with reference to
subtle, stratigraphic traps, tight gas, shale gas etc.
The following pages give a synopsis of the joint venture
exploration opportunities available to the sound, interested
E & P companies.
