This strategic partnership underlines OGDCL’s commitment to the efficient development and monetization of indigenous hydrocarbon resources.

The commencement of production is in compliance with Section 96 of the Securities Act, 2015, and Clause 5.6.1(a) of the PSX Regulations, ensuring the information is disseminated among market participants, reflecting the company's adherence to regulatory transparency. The designated market category remains consistent as OGDCL continues to strengthen its role within the energy sector.
