November 24, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PSX:PPL) has executed successful workover operations at the Adam West X-1 ST well in the Hala Block, located in Matiari district, Sindh Province, according to the company’s statement issued today.
The company operates the block with a 65% working interest alongside joint venture partner Mari Energies Limited (35% WI).
The Adam West X-1 well initially discovered hydrocarbons in the Lower Goru formation in September 2014.
After commencing production in June 2015, the well encountered complications in 2019 when water breakthrough led to a complete cessation of gas flow.
Multiple attempts to isolate the lower water-producing intervals proved unsuccessful.
Reservoir modeling confirmed the viability of drilling a sidetrack using rig equipment.
The workover operation began in October 2025, with the primary target to drill a sidetrack and complete the well above the water-producing zones.
Following the successful workover, the Adam West X-1 ST well is now producing at approximately 8.5 MMscfd at wellhead pressure of 540 psig and choke size of 58/64″.
The company plans to tie the well into Hala facilities following rig demobilization. PPL Energy emphasized its continued commitment to Pakistan’s energy security, economic growth, and national prosperity.
