Asset Report
Pakistan Indus exploration basin
Report summary
Pakistan Indus is an onshore, mature exploration basin, dominated by high-intensity, step-out drilling. Over the last decade, it has attracted the fourth highest number of exploration wells globally. The oil price downturn did not negatively impact drilling activity in the basin. The majority of exploration is concentrated in the Badin licences, and on OGDC-operated acreage. The activity is spread across two plays: Middle & Upper Indus, which is a dry gas play, and the Lower Indus, where discoveries typically include associated liquid. The bulk of future activity is expected to focus on the Lower Indus play, which offers over US$2 Bn of future value creation potential (2019 - 2035). This report discusses discovery and development costs, licensing details, prospective resource volumes and value creation potential. It is accompanied by multiple excel downloads.
