After 15 years: Pakistan may have found largest gas reserves

Once confirmed a stock market announcement will be done ..so its fishy

Though 1tcf will just halt the decline wont matter much
 
@niaz sir could you shed some light on this?

specifically this:
"Margand X-1 was drilled on June 30, 2019, which reached a depth of 4,500 metres inside Chiltan limestone. On the basis of wireline logs, Modular Dynamics Testing (MDT) was carried out, which proved the presence of hydrocarbon.

Drill Stem Test (DST) of the well showed a flow of 10.7 million cubic feet of gas per day (mmcfd) at 64/64 inches choke size with flowing wellhead pressure at 516 pounds per square inch (psi) and 132 barrels of liquid per day."

The Chiltern Lime Stone merely refers to the rock formation where the gas accumulated. I am not a Geologist or a Reservoir Engineer. All I know is that the 'Choke' is a device to control the flow of oil/gas from the well and it could be fixed choke or variable choke. The choke size could be up to 2 inches and 64/64 means that it was 1inch choke. There are some formulas to estimate the production rate from the well but this is a specialized field and my knowledge is very rudimentary.

I regret my inability to estimate the size of the reservoir from the gas pressure at a specific choke size. My apologies.

I meant more along the lines of does this seem like a reasonable assessment or are they throwing around these terms to confuse people? Is this actually something that is used in practice and/or if it seems reasonable assume what the article says is realistic based on information provided. Or if you happen to know of any gas exploration in the area mentioned. Thanks.
 
At this time it more of a guess. I would wait & see what figure comes out of PPL.
To the best of my knowledge, a1-tcf gas filed should be able to produce about 200-million cft per day when fully developed.

However, this will lead to another financial crisis as the government will either have to give subsidy or will have to put the burden on consumers.

Still you have doubt that Noon League was not a band of thieves? They did not put investments in local exploration but went out to do expensive LNG contracts. Obviously not for the country but to make money.
 
Let's wait and see. InshaAllah it's good news, if its not - Allah knows what is best for us.
 
Government is doing right by not announcing it unless everything is confirmed.
Otherwise nothing lowers the morale of the nation of announced and nothing found later.

VERY fishy!

Did they drill or not?
Have they tested or not?
How can anyone announce how much they found when they havent drilled nor tested?
No they don't.
Because this is just a news. The culture of confirming and researching has long been gone.
Now a days journalism is always ' a high placed source told me this and that'
 
These false news of oil and gas discovery plays to the hopes and fears of our people. They hope that the discovery of oils and gas deposits will increase economic activity in the country while they rightly fear that this is another false story.
 
again it will not really change major dynamics just keep the current flow at same level
Pakistan needs big finding medium size won't cut it
 
Jews and international powers who slaughter babies in basements are already working hard to end gasoline, diesel cars to choke the arab/muslim oil states.

I dont we are in a position to be that ungrateful!
