Operations
PPL is operator and shares 100% in the following two fields:
- Kandhkot gas field was hit by flood in August, 2010 and one of the GGM submerged completely and two Gas Gathering Main(GGM) partly. There were twenty five producing wells out of which fifteen were shut-in and production from the field dropped to 70 MMscfd from the peak of 195 MMscfd of gas. Eight wells were bought into operation by September, 2010 and after necessary repairs production increased to 160 MMscfd (Million standard cubic feet per day). Two additional wells brought into opertion by mid October, 2010 adding 30 MMscfd of gas thereby increased total available production to 190 MMscfd. In December 2010, compression station began commercial operation to maintain contractual delivery pressure and enhance recovery ratio.
- Sui gas field is under depletion phase, gas sales during the financial year 2010-2011 was 170,805 MMscf against 177,574 MMscf in 2009-2010. Production commenced from two development wells and a third well spud-in during the fiscal year 2010-2011. Drilling of well (Sui-92U) was started in March, 2010. The well was drilled up to the depth of 2,128 meters in the Pab reservoir and was successfully completed as a single string producer from Sui upper limestone (SUL) in December, 2010. Drilling of well (Sui- 89M) started in January, 2011 and was completed in February, 2011. Well (Sui-93M) was drilled as a horizontal well using under balanced drilling technology in the reservoir for the first time in the country to optimize production form Sui gas field. Drilling of well started in March, 2011 and completed in July, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
