Exploration program
In 2021 the TAL West 3D seismic data processing project was completed, following which interpretation and prospect generation activities began in operated TAL block. Mamikhel South-1 well’s tie-in was also completed, and its field development plan was approved by the regulator. Two non-operated exploration wells were spudded, Surghar X-1 in Karak, and DGK-1 in DG Khan block. Since the work program elements were completed in both TAL and Margala blocks, licence extension applications had been submitted for both, and was granted for latter.

As a result of key development projects, the operated gross production level in Tal Block remained at ~80 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOEPD) during 2020. The development of the operated Tal Block continued with the tie-in In 2021 part of TAL block development, the Maramzai Compression project continued, and the Manzalai Secondary Compression project started off with detailed design and engineering. The high-speed, diesel-driven water injection facility at Makori West water disposal well has been converted to electric driven, with the aim of conserving energy and reducing carbon footprint. Various reservoir studies completed for Tolanj West, Maramzai and Manzalai-5 while Makori East and Halini studies remained in progress. Preparations started for workover operations at Manzalai-5 well. By completing production optimization jobs at several fields, an incremental production of 0.1 mboepd was realized, annualized and net to MOL.
