Gambat South Block
Gambat South is located in District Sanghar, Sindh. The block was granted to PPL in December 2009.
Later, the company farmed-out 10 percent of its working interest in Gambat South to Asia Resources Oil Limited and 25 percent to Government Holdings (Private) Limited in June and July 2010, respectively.
So far, 12 discoveries, Wafiq, Shahdad, Kinza, Faiz (two formations), Hadi, Kabir, Hatim, Zafir, Hadaf, Badeel and Shahpur Chakar North have been made in the block with the latest in October 2022.
Plans are underway to tap optimum potential of the block. To this end, three gas processing facilities have been placed. Gas Processing Facility I is processing 10 MMscfd gas while Gas Processing Facility II with a capacity of 50 MMscfd commenced production on August 9, 2016.
Later, production also started from Gas Processing Facility IV (GPF-IV) under its first phase from October 7, 2018 at 36 MMscfd which has been further enhanced to 70 MMscfd after tie-in to equipment installed during its phase-II in January 2021.
Latest discovery, Shahpur Chakar North X-1, is also planned to be tied to the existing facilities on fast track basis.
Additionally, 60-MMscfd Zafir Gas Processing Facility is also being installed to obtain production from remaining discoveries of the block.
