Hala
Hala block, at about 395 square kilometers, links Sanghar and Matiari districts in Sindh. The exploration license for Hala was granted to PPL in March 2004, with the first exploratory well, Adam X-1, drilled in 2007, resulting in the discovery of gas/condensate. The second discovery in the block was made from the third exploratory well, Adam West X-1, in August 2014. Since June 2015, the Well has been put on production through a tie-in to Adam Plant. The third discovery in the block was from an exploratory well, Fazal X-1, in October 2019. The fifth exploratory well, the latest discovery in the block, Bashar X-1ST, was made in September 2016. During testing, the Well produced gas at a maximum rate of 9 MMscfd. Plans are underway to drill additional exploratory wells to assess further prospects in the block.
