Floods effecting E&P operations
The recent floods in Sindh have affected drilling operations at various sites, while also affecting the pace of development projects. Latest PPIS drilling activity reports shows suspension of drilling on three well sites – two exploratory – including Kakejani-01 operated by BP and Gulsher-01 operated by OGDCL – and one development – Dhodak Deep-02 operated by OGDCL. Work on OGDCL’s Sinjhoro development project has also been affected and is subjected to delays while timeline of KPD/TAY project could also face risk, with TAY (Tando Allahyar) being amongst the affected districts of Sindh.
Sinjhoro phase I & II pushed back by 4-8 months; KPD TAY also face risk
OGDCL has indicated that Sinjhoro development project phase I (1,400 bpd oil, 15 mmcfd gas, 50 tpd LPG, 2.9%/1.1% of FY11 oil / gas production) will now be completed in April-12, four months after the original timeline of Jan-12, while phase II (1,600 bpd oil, 10 mmcfd gas, 70 tpd LPG, 3.3%/0.7% of FY11 oil / gas production) is pushed back by 8 months to Dec-12 (previous April-12). OGDCL has maintained end Oct-11 timeline for KPD-TAY phase I (1,000 bpd oil, 100 mmcfd gas, 2.7%/10% of FY11 oil / gas production). However, with TAY district having also been hit by floods, we would not rule out a 3-6 months delay on KPD-TAY phase I as well. Commencement of Kandanwari-27 (40 mmcfd gas) has also been delayed by two months to Dec-11.
Disappointing flows from Mela-03
OGDCL has officially communicated flows from, Mela-03 at 460bpd oil and 1.5mmcfd gas, much lower than the average of 2,500bpd oil and 6.5mmcfd gas from Mela-01 and Mela-02. This is quite disappointing as we originally expected Mela-03 flows to match those of Mela-01 and Mela-02. This could also hurt investor sentiments regarding expected flows from Nashpa-02 and Nashpa-03, which are located in Nahspa field – adjacent to Mela. We have however assumed a conservative flow rate of 4,000 bpd oil and 13 mmcfd gas from Nashpa-02 and Nashpa-03, 33% lower than Nashpa-01 (6,000 bpd oil and 21 mmcfd gas).
