BP Pakistan Exploration and Production Inc.
BP Pakistan is truly a local energy company, working primarily with local employees to provide energy for the growing local energy market
We take a prudent and measured view in growing our business and have consistently delivered a strong financial performance. This has created value for our shareholders, customers, employees and the communities in which we operate.
In Pakistan, BP focuses primarily on exploration and production through BP Pakistan Exploration and Production, Inc. We take care of the whole process, from the first assessment of the site to the first production of oil and gas. All our operations are based in province Sindh, with the concession boundary starting 100 km to the east of Karachi. We work in an area that spans eight districts in Sindh province. Our offices are located in Karachi and Islamabad. We also have a field office in district Badin.
Despite the fact that oil and gas has been produced from the Badin Concessions for over two decades, this asset is still very active and able to produce good results. Seeking further avenues of expansion in Pakistan, BP has acquired significant off-shore acreage for petroleum exploration, situated 250 km south of Karachi in ultra deep waters. This is the largest off-shore acreage given to any single exploration and production company in Pakistan so far.
In 2007 BP acquired Occidental Petroleum Corporation’s oil and gas interests in Pakistan operated by BP Pakistan. Following that, in 2008, BP Pakistan further expanded its portfolio by acquiring working interests and license to operate the Mirpurkhas Khipro (MKK) blocks, significantly enhancing BP’s production profile. Similar to nearby assets in Badin the MKK concessions are a strategic fit, and besides the expansion of BP Pakistan’s business in the region, will also accrue several other advantages to the company in terms of application of technology and economies of scale.
Outside exploration and production, BP has also grown a vibrant automotive and industrial lubricants business. Our lubricants are sold under the Castrol brand. Website : www.bp.com

OMV started operating in Pakistan in 1991 and based on successful exploration, has developed into one of the largest foreign gas producer with a 13% market share. Currently OMV holds two Development and Production Licences in Sawan and Miano fields and is producing from the Latif and Tajjal fields on an Extended Well Testing scheme. The country offers excellent growth potential supported by a good business environment and prospective as well as underexplored acreage.
OMV holds an important exploration portfolio with 7 operated and non operated blocks. As of July 11, 2011, OMV purchased the entire share capital of Petronas Carigali (Pakistan) Ltd, which is Petronas´ Exploration and Production (E&P) operating entity in Pakistan. With the completion of the share and change of control transaction, OMV increases its production by about 1,000 boe/d to 15,000 boe/d. Through the strong growth potential of the acquisition of the Mubarak and Mehar exploration licenses as well as the Mehar and Mubarak development and production leases in the Indus Basin in central Pakistan, OMV gains a strong strategic position within the E&P portfolio and will help OMV reach its long-term growth objectives.
In Pakistan, new expertise on operating and processing gas at plants has been maintained at optimum level with an excellent reputation in terms of efficiency and reliability. Since the activities are located in the desert, Pakistan poses a particularly difficult challenge for man, technology and the environment. OMV is focusing on technologies that result in a minimum footprint in the area. At the same time, optimum use of drilling bits and the mud system has improved the drilling speed, which accounts for the company’s reputation of being the fastest driller in Middle Indus. In production, high-temperature technology and materials for high-rate gas wells are utilized. To avoid costly sand control installations, special sand management techniques have been developed and implemented. To identify stratigraphic traps, OMV uses the latest cutting-edge technology in seismic processing and imaging.
Many of the key skills developed in Pakistan are now used elsewhere in the global portfolio, in particular through international assignment of many of its Pakistani staff. Website : www.omv.com

Tullow Pakistan Developments Ltd.
It started in a small town called Tullow, about 35 miles south of Dublin, Ireland. In the 80s there were loads of companies starting off in the North Sea and Irish Celtic Sea. I was talking to a friend of mine in the bank one day and he was talking about small oil fields in Africa, which had been left behind by the majors and had no-one to work them. That is where the idea came from. I contacted another friend of mine in the World Bank who told me about a project in Senegal. They had some small gas fields that they were trying to get people to develop, so I setup Tullow Oil to rework those old fields. I knew nothing about the oil and gas industry at the time, which made it more challenging. No one thought Tullow would succeed because of my lack of knowledge of the industry, no major backers and I was starting a company in a country with no oil industry. Website : www.tullowoil.com .
