Jura Energy Begins Natural Gas Production at Maru-3

Canadian upstream operator Jura Energy has officially brought a new natural gas development well online in Pakistan, adding fresh supplies to the country's energy grid. The asset, designated as Maru-3, resides within the Maru Lease block spanning the boundary between Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab and Ghotki in Sindh.

Drilling operations reached a total depth of 951 meters before target completion in the Eocene-aged Pirkoh Limestone formation. Following the completion phase, engineers performed initial flow testing to evaluate the wellhead dynamics and reservoir deliverability.

During preliminary flow tests utilizing a 64/64-inch choke size, Maru-3 demonstrated an average production capability of nearly 1.02 million cubic feet of conventional gas per day, alongside an average flowing wellhead pressure of roughly 105 pounds per square inch.

With surface hookups and facility tie-ins now fully established, the well has transitioned into commercial operation. Jura Energy reported that the field is currently delivering a steady volume of around 0.7 million cubic feet per day into local distribution infrastructure.

The surrounding Maru Lease encompassing the new well spans roughly 15.41 square kilometers. The project represents ongoing international investment aimed at tapping indigenous hydrocarbon reserves to mitigate local power supply pressures.
