Introduction
Oil and Gas Development Limited (OGDCL) is the largest petroleum exploration and production (E&P) company in the Pakistan oil and gas sector. The Company is a market leader in Pakistan, in terms of reserves, production and acreage. It is not only listed on the three major stock exchanges of Pakistan but it is also listed on the London Stock Exchange since December 2006.The OGDCL is Pakistans leading company operating in Pakistan as a leader and pioneer in the natural gas exploration & production market. It holds a top position in all areas of the countrys gas business. The key aspiration of OGDCL Group is to be the leader of the liberalized energy market in Pakistan. It is based on Jinnah Avenue, Blue Area in Islamabad. By 1966, OGDCL had emerged as the dominant domestic prospector with several significant discoveries in the Indus Basin. OGDCL was converted into a public limited company in 1997. As on June 2010, the Government of Pakistan holds 74.82% stake in the company.

2. Establishment of OGDCL
To revive exploration in the energy sector the Government of Pakistan signed a long-term loan Agreement on 04 March 1961 with the USSR, whereby Pakistan received 27 million Rubles to finance equipment and services of Soviet experts for exploration. Pursuant to the Agreement, OGDCL was created under an Ordinance dated 20th September 1961. The Corporation was charged with responsibility to undertake a well thought out and systematic exploratory program and to plan and promote Pakistan's oil and gas prospects. As an instrument of policy in the oil and gas sector, the Corporation followed the Government instructions in matters of exploration and development. The day to day management was however, vested in a five-member Board of Directors appointed by the Government. In the initial stages the financial resources were arranged by the GOP as the OGDCL lacked the ways and means to raise the risk capital. The first 10 to 15 years were devoted to development of manpower and building of infrastructure to undertake much larger exploration programs

3. Discoveries and Exploration: During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 the Company made several oil and gas discoveries, including at Nim-1, Dars Deep-1, Tando Allah Yar North-1, Kunnar Deep-1 and Bahu-1. OGDCL's daily production, including share from joint ventures averaged 39,659 barrels (6,305.3 m3) of oil; 937 million cubic feet (26,500,000 m3) of gas, and 358 metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas. The Company holds exploration acreage comprising 40 exploration licenses covering an area of 75,905 square kilometers, including 16 exploration licenses covering an area of 28,066 square kilometers granted

to OGDCL during fiscal 2006. During 2009-2010, the company acquired four new exploration blocks (Channi Pull, Jandran west, Lakhi Rud and Mari east), covering area of around 4,795 Square kilometers. Three exploration licenses namely Khiranwala, Thatta and Thatta east were surrendered and operator ship of offshore Indus-S was transferred to BP Alpha.

4. Background of Field (Bobi)

Bobi(Gas/Condensate Field) Bobi gas/condensate field is located at 25 kilometers in south of District Sanghar and 85 km north-east of Hyderabad city in Sindh province. Bobi well # 1 was the first exploratory well drilled and completed as gas / condensate producer in May 1988. Total of 8 wells were drilled upto 1991. Extended production testing was carried out on Bobi wells in order to obtain reservoir parameters and estimation of reserves. Bobi Gas Condensate Field is a part of Second Oil and Gas Development Project funded by Asian Development Bank amounting to US $ 52.00 million out of which US $ 20.1 million was allocated for the development of Bobi field. Condensate fractionating facilities along with gas-recycling system was installed and field was declared as Oil Complex in 2002.

5. Operations of OGDCL

The company made six oil, gas/condensate discoveries namely Reti-1A, Baloch1, Dakhni-11, Maru-1, Nashpa-1 and Shah-1 The company commenced production from Baloch-1 Nashpa-1, and Pakhro-1 Crude oil production of the company on working interest basis averaged 30,075 barrels (4,781.5 m3) per day Gas production of the company on working interest basis averaged 97610 6 cu ft (27,600,000 m3) per day LPG product on working interest basis averaged 202 metric tons per day During the year, the company acquired 2493 L. km of 2-D seismic data in Bagh South, Bitrism, Dhakni, Guddu, Mari East, Mianwali, Nashpa, Nim, Thando Allah Yar, Thano Beg and Thal concessions, 290 km of 3-D seismic data in Soghri concession and Toot Mining Lease by running five seismic crews having latest technologies and equipped with quality control software for on-site data processing during the surveys Forty well locations were marked on ground and twenty six wells including thirteen exploratory, two appraisal and eleven development were scudded by the company.

The operations involve in the field is: Production Separation Set pressure level Storage

7. Weakness: No weakness seeming in the plants and the process but I watched the serious weakness and lack of concentration. Security lack was there. According to my opinion the area was totally uncovered with the boundary walls.

Conclusion & Recommendations:

The BOBI oil complex work under the OGDCL that is located in the district of Sanghir, It is the Gas/Condensate field. After processing the large amount of LPG produced approximate 500 ton/day and the volume of oil is 1250 bbl/day. Recommendation is they have to check the flow line joint which is shown in above figure: 03 and also do the piping inspection that is the cause of energy loses and decrease the production rate.
