CHAPTER 2
ABOUT OGDCL
OGDCL VISION:
To be a leading, regional
Pakistani E & P Company,
recognized for its people,
partnerships and
performance.
2.1 INTRODUCTION:
Prior to OGDCL's emergence, Pakistan Petroleum Ltd. (PPL)
and Pakistan Oilfields Ltd. (POL) carried out exploration
activities in the country. In 1952, PPL discovered a giant gas
field at Sui in Balochistan. This discovery generated immense
interest in exploration and five major foreign oil companies
entered into concession agreements with the Government.
During the 1950s, these companies carried out extensive
geological and geophysical surveys and drilled 47 exploratory
wells. As a result, a few small gas fields were discovered.
Despite these gas discoveries, exploration activity after having
reached its peak in mid-1950s, declined in the late fifties.
Private Companies whose main objective was to earn profit
were not interested in developing the gas discoveries especially
when infrastructure and demand for gas was non-existent. With
exploration activity at its lowest ebb several foreign exploration
contracting companies terminated their operation and either
reduced or relinquished land holdings in 1961.
ESTABLISHMENT OF OGDC:
To revive exploration in the energy sector the Government of
Pakistan signed a long-term loan Agreement on 04 March 1961
with the USSR, whereby Pakistan received 27 million Rubles
to finance equipment and services of Soviet experts for
exploration. Pursuant to the Agreement, OGDC was created
under an Ordinance dated 20th September 1961. The
Corporation was charged with responsibility to undertake a
well thought out and systematic exploratory program and to
plan and promote Pakistan's oil and gas prospects.
2.4.1 PGCL:

Internship Report On OGDCL
A wholly owned subsidiary, the Pirkoh Gas Company (Private)
Limited (PGCL) was established in 1982 to undertake
development of Pirkoh gas field located in Dera Bugti Agency
in Balochistan with Asian Development Bank assistance.
2.4.2PRTI:
Keeping in view the growing needs of Pakistan's petroleum
industry, OGDC established its own Training Institute. Institute
offers two-year training programs for fresh graduate engineers
and short duration refresher courses in the fields of
Exploration, Drilling, Well Services, Gas Processing,
Production and Computing etc. Lately, professionals from
foreign oil companies based in Pakistan and the Central Asian
Republics have also started attending short courses and
seminars on specific technical and management subjects.
Institute has numerous facilities that include modern
classrooms, auditorium, audio-visual aids, and a huge
collection of professional videos, library, drilling simulator and
a complete electrical and mechanical workshop for training
purposes. Fully equipped laboratories are available for
production, exploration and well service courses. Recently the
function of research has also been included in the domain of
institute and name has been changed to Petroleum Research
and Training Institute.
HUMAN RESOURCES:
During the last 45 years the Corporation has grown into a
technically feasible and commercially viable organization. It
has developed a highly qualified pool of professionals who can
undertake and supervise almost all phases of oil and gas
exploration and production starting from preliminary

geological surveys and culminating in the operation of oil and
gas processing plants.
CHAPTER #03
PROGRESS OF OGDCL
TRANSITION TO A SELF FINANCING
ENTITY
An important shift in the policy during the Seventh Five Year
Plan period was a change in the financing of the development
program of various public sector entities, including OGDC.
The Seventh Plan envisaged that OGDC will be strengthened
and restructured and its operations streamlined to transform it
into a financially viable and administratively autonomous
entity. Noting the Company's success, due to major oil and gas
discoveries in the eighties, the Government in July 1989, off-
loaded the Company from the Federal Budget and allowed it to
manage its activities with self-generated funds. The financial
year 1989-90 was OGDCL’s first year of self-financing. It was
a great challenge for OGDC. The obvious initial target during
the first year of self-financing was to generate sufficient
resources to maintain the momentum of exploration and
development at a pace envisaged in the Public Sector
Development Program (PSDP) as well as to meet its debt
servicing obligations. OGDC not only generated enough
internal funds to meet its debt obligations but also invested
enough resources in exploration and development to increase
the country's reserves and production.
3.4 PROJECTS:
OGDCL has also successfully implemented a number of major
development projects in the past for example Dhodak Gas
Condensate Development Project located in district D.G. Khan,
Punjab, Qadirpur Development Project located in district
Sukkur, Sindh, Pirkoh Gas Compression Project in Dera Bugti
Agency, Balochistan, Nandpur & Panjpir Development Project
in Punjab, and Uch Development Project at Dera Bugti
Agency, Balochistan. The latter two gas field projects were
developed for supply of low BTU gas for power generation.
OGDCL also participated in development of the Kandanwari
gas field under a joint venture with M/s Eni Pakistan, and that
of Miano gas field under a joint venture with M/s OMV of
Austria.
INITIATIVES:
Business and Strategic Plan:
A cross functional exercise has been taken to develop the
Company’s first ever professionally developed Strategic and
Business Plan, which apart from quantifying physical and
financial goals and objectives, defines the strategic intent of the
Company for the next five years.
International Best Practices - Benchmarking and Re-
Engineering of Business Processes:
Keeping in line with international best practices, OGDCL has
embarked upon an exercise to benchmark itself with
international E&P companies. Messrs. Schlumberger Business
Consulting has been engaged to carry out an exercise to
determine Benchmarks and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
GDR:
The Company is now positioning itself for international
scrutiny and due diligence for listing on the London Stock
Exchange and is extending full support for timely
implementation of the same. Focal points have been designated
and are working in close coordination with Messrs. Citigroup

CHAPTER # 05
MY ANALYSIS:
INPUT STAGE:
5.1 SWOT ANALYSIS:
SWOT Analysis is conducted to identify the organizational
strengths (S), organizational weaknesses (W), environmental
opportunities (O), and environmental threats (T). Each analysis
helps to know that how these elements influence organizational
performance.
An organizational strength is an internal capability that can be
exploited to achieve goals, where as an organizational
weakness is an internal characteristics that may undermine
performance. An environmental opportunity is a situation that
offers potential for helping the organization achieves its goals.
In contrast, an environmental threat is an external element that
can develop into a non-crisis or crisis problem, and potentially
prevent organization from achieving its goals.
OGDCL‘s SWOT Analysis is given below;
5.1.1 STRENGTHS
• OGDCL has highly professional manpower.
• Established gas transmission and distribution network.
• Being Government owned organization; OGDCL is
given preference when Government allows any new
concession.
• OGDCL has huge finances.
• OGDCL has enough training facility structure in the
form of OGTI.

CHAPTER# 06
TRAINING PROGRAM
I selected OGDCL for my internship, which is necessary during
two year MBA programmed. The OGDCL was established in
1961. The head office of the company is situated at Blue Area
Islamabad. OGDCL mainly deals with Petroleum products.
OGDCL is only biggest public sector company with sound
financial condition. I worked in head office of OGDCL for 8
weeks in different departments of the company but according to
my major subject I concentrated on Marketing department and
Human Resource department. It is a govt. organization where
working of internee is so much limited but I tried my best to
learn as much as possible. Due to restriction I could not work
very well on finance department and joint venture department
that were also of my interest. I could spend most of my time in
Marketing and after that in Human Resource Department. My
learning in these departments is as follows:
6.3 Conclusion:
OGDCL is a big organization which is working all the Pakistan
and it is really a much difficult to study this organization in two
months that are very short period of time. But I tried my best to
lean as much I can. With shortage of time there were so much
security constraints that it was very difficult for an internee to
move from the allocated department for working in other
departments. OGDCL growing at very great pace and has a big
pool of qualified professionals but if department heads
concentrate more on their employees and at the same employee
do concentrate on work then the speed of growing might be
much greater than now.
I learned a lot during my internship period. This was my very
first experience of working in any professional organization.
This experience might help me more, if i join the oil and gas
industry but it would be helpful in other case because working
environment might be almost same in all organization like as
how to prepare reports, how to send letters to other departments
or other organization and what is the procedure for auction of
anything. So I can say that it was a really good experience of
working.
6.4 Recommendations
• OGTI is responsible for selecting internees and allow
working in any department. So if any one is sent in one
department then it is very difficult for him to go to any
other department unless having some reference in that
department. So OGTI should revise its policy.
• Contract base employees should be given some extra
benefits and chances for promotion as permanent
employee.
