ISLAMABAD: Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) announced a significant gas and condensate discovery at its Bitrisim Northwest-1 exploratory well in Khairpur district, Sindh.

According to Oil and Gas Development Company Limited's press release, OGDC operates the Bitrisim Exploration License with a 95% working interest, while Government Holdings (Private) Limited holds the remaining 5%.
