Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) has announced the successful completion and commissioning of the Jhal Magsi Development Project and launched a series of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in the remote Jhal Magsi district of Balochistan, as per a press release.

The fast-track development was made possible through incentives approved by the government of Pakistan.

The project is currently producing around 14 million standard cubic feet per day of pipeline-quality gas and 45 barrels per day of condensate. The gas has been injected into the Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL) network through a newly built 98-kilometre pipeline constructed by SSGCL from the Jhal Magsi field to its tie-in point.

As part of its community development efforts, OGDCL has launched several CSR initiatives in the Jhal Magsi district.

These include the construction of the OGDCL Grammar School (50 per cent completed) and a Mother & Child Health Care Facility in collaboration with Indus Hospital (60pc completed). The company has also built 84 climate-resilient houses, awarded fully funded four-year scholarships to students at Sukkur IBA, and provided technical training to 55 local youths through NAVTTC, with 30 already trained and 25 in progress.m
