      <title>OGDCL revives heavy oil well in Chakwal</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330393525/ogdcl-revives-heavy-oil-well-in-chakwal</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has successfully revived a heavy oil well at the Rajian Oil Field in Chakwal district, increasing production by 1,000 barrels per day (bpd).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a recent press release, OGDCL announced that the Rajian-3A well, which had been suspended since 2020 due to formation challenges, has been restored as part of the company’s optimization efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Located in the Gujar Khan Exploration License area, the field’s output has now risen from 1,500 bpd to 2,500 bpd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To resume production at Rajian-3A, OGDCL implemented an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) system in the Chorgali-Sakessar and Tobra formations, reaching a depth of 3,652 meters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This well is the first of 11 targeted under an optimization plan that includes workover jobs and advanced artificial lift systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company has also deployed its Rig N-4 at the Rajian field to complete the remaining optimization work, with the goal of further enhancing production. Results from these initiatives will be shared upon completion of the program.&lt;/p&gt;
