@ogdclofficial today reported a profit after tax of Rs 58.5 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 53% over the corresponding quarter last year. The Board of Directors, at its meeting in Islamabad, approved the financial results and declared a first interim cash dividend of Rs 5.00 per share (50%), the highest first-quarter dividend in the Company’s history, up from Rs 3.50 per share a year earlier. Net sales revenue rose 38% to Rs 132.4 billion from Rs 96.2 billion in the corresponding quarter, and profit after tax increased to Rs 58.5 billion from Rs 38.3 billion, lifting earnings per share to Rs 13.60 from Rs 8.91. The improvement was driven by higher production volumes and stronger realized prices, partly offset by continued forced production curtailments and the appreciation of the rupee against the US dollar. Collections against billings stood at 100% for the quarter. OGDC contributed Rs 82 billion to the national exchequer through taxes, dividends, royalties and levies, and its indigenous oil and gas production saved the country an estimated US$ 1.32 billion in foreign exchange through import substitution. Commenting on the results, Mr. Zafar Masud, Chairman of the Board, said: “This was a quarter of delivery: double-digit growth in oil, gas and LPG production, collections at 100% of billings, and a record first-quarter dividend for our shareholders. The Board’s decision reflects confidence in the Company’s cash generation, while preserving its capacity to invest in compression, water injection and new drilling to sustain production and to pursue new frontiers in unconventional gas, geothermal energy and critical minerals.” Production grew in all three streams. Average daily net saleable production rose 13.3% to 35,494 barrels of crude oil, 14.2% to 732 MMcf of natural gas and 10.5% to 696 tons of LPG, compared with 31,315 barrels, 641 MMcf and 630 tons, respectively, in the corresponding quarter last year. #OGDC #FinancialResults #Growth #RecordDividend #EnergySecurity #PakistanEnergy @zafar_masud

@ogdclofficial has commenced gas and condensate production from its Bitrism East-1 exploratory well located in Khairpur, Sindh, marking significant progress in bringing new hydrocarbon discoveries into production. The well is currently producing 7.0 million standard cubic feet of gas per day and 200 barrels of condensate per day from the Basal Sands. Production is expected to increase gradually as the well’s flow stabilises. To accelerate production from the discovery, @ogdclofficial used its in-house resources to lay a 28-kilometre, 8-inch-diameter flowline connecting the well to the Sinjhoro Plant for processing. The processed gas is now being supplied to the SSGCL network. OGDC is the operator of the Bitrism Exploration Licence with a 77.5 percent working interest, in a joint venture with GHPL, which holds the remaining 22.5 percent. #OGDC #BitrismEast1 #GasProduction #EnergySecurity #IndigenousEnergy @zafar_masud

@ogdclofficial has signed a contract with the Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH) for the hiring of advanced Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Element Profiling and Radioactive Element Profiling services. The signing ceremony was held at OGDC Headquarters in Islamabad and was attended by MD/CEO OGDC Ahmed Hayat Lak, senior management of OGDC, and representatives of PAEC and PINSTECH. Under the agreement, #PINSTECH will carry out ICP-based elemental profiling of produced water and brine from candidate OGDC wells, quantifying lithium, rare earth elements, precious metals and radioactive elements. More than 2,000 samples will be collected from candidate wells for the presence of lithium and other rare and critical earth metals. The exercise will build a comprehensive geochemical database of OGDC's produced water, rank wells by lithium and rare earth content, and map areas of high to low concentration, providing the technical basis for evaluating the feasibility of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE). The expanded profiling effort is aimed at turning produced water, long treated as a waste stream from oil and gas operations, into a potential source of critical minerals. The agreement comes as #OGDC expands its diversification beyond conventional hydrocarbons into minerals and new energy resources, including lithium and rare earths recovered from produced water and geothermal brines. OGDC's pilot at the Wahid Bukhsh-01 well has already identified geothermal brine containing 291 mg/L of lithium, a concentration comparable to leading geothermal-lithium brines internationally. #Lithium #RareEarthElements #CriticalMinerals #EnergySecurity #GeothermalEnergy #PAEC @zafar_masud
