The Well was spudded-in on August 10, 2025 and was sidetracked to chase better reservoir quality and has been successfully drilled down to 4004 mTVD.

The said discovery will also help & contribute towards improving energy security of the country from indigenous resources and add to the hydrocarbon reserves base of OGDCL, its Joint Venture Partners and the Country.
