The Zamzama gas field is located in the Kirthar Foldbelt, Sindh Province, Pakistan approximately 200 km north of Karachi and importantly, only 8km west of the existing Sui-Karachi pipeline (Figure 1). Since discovery in early 1998, a number of innovative approaches to field appraisal, gas marketing, infrastructure rationalisation and field development have been undertaken. This has resulted in the successful completion of the initial development phase, Phase 1, with the Zamzama gas plant coming on stream in July 2003. In addition, plans are well progressed towards realising an incremental Phase 2 development. Cornerstone to the success of development to date has been the implementation of an extended well test (EWT) of the exploration (Zamzama-1/ST1) and appraisal well (Zamzama-2), which came on line in early 2001. The EWT mitigated an entire host of perceived risks associated with a full development, with minimal financial exposure. |
