For six and a half decades, Oil and Gas Development Company Limited has consistently achieved new milestones and upheld its commitment to delivering energy. Over the years, OGDCL has translated technical ambition into energy that powers Pakistan.
Building on this legacy, OGDCL has focused its journey on sustainable growth and innovation. The company continues to enhance production from existing wells through advanced technologies such as Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs), while also pursuing new discoveries and projects to expand reserves. It has launched a production optimisation drive to boost Pakistan’s oil and gas output and strengthen energy security.
Alongside exploration and development, OGDCL invests heavily in its people, equipping its workforce with technical expertise, leadership skills, and teamwork capabilities through targeted training programmes.
The company has built a nationwide footprint of operated fields, processing plants and pipelines, supported by seismic acquisition, data processing and well services that shorten the cycle from prospect to production. In recent years, the company has leaned on targeted interventions—workovers, artificial lift and compression—to sustain output from mature assets while integrating new wells into the system.
In addition to field operations, OGDCL, in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and under the aegis of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), organised the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 (PMIF25) in April 2025. The forum showcased Pakistan’s vast mineral potential and provided global investors with a platform to explore opportunities in the country’s mineral sector. OGDCL is also a key partner in the Reko Diq copper-gold project alongside Barrick Gold, the Government of Balochistan and other state-owned enterprises.
Beyond Pakistan, OGDCL has stepped into Abu Dhabi’s Offshore Block-5 through Pakistan International Oil Limited (PIOL), a consortium with PPL, Mari and GHPL. This award marks the first entry of Pakistani E&P companies into the UAE’s prolific petroleum province, expanding OGDCL’s technical exposure and future resource pipeline.
Throughout its 65-year journey, OGDCL has embodied precision, purpose, and strength, turning vision into reality through consistent breakthroughs in Pakistan’s energy sector. The company has built a record of progress that strengthens national energy security and supports economic growth. Guided by its commitment to sustainable development and innovation, OGDCL continues to transform challenges into opportunities. This journey of six and a half decades reflects more than milestones—it reflects the energy to deliver.
