Ahdi, Pakistan
Adhi, also spelt as Ahdi, (Urdu:آھدى) is a village and Union Council in Gujar Khan Tehsil, in the Rawalpindi District of Punjab, Pakistan. Ahdi is located about 70 km south of Islamabad in the Pothwar region and nearest city is Daultala. The village is rich in oil and natural gas reserves. Gas and oil exploration at Adhi began in 1956 and continued for a decade during which four wells were drilled. But all of them were abandoned due to insurmountable high pressure formation water inflows and subsurface complications. Even today, hot water flows from one of the bores in Ahadi, in which people wash their clothes and take bath. The field is owned by Oil & Gas Development (50%), Pakistan Petroleum (39%) and The Attock Oil (11%).

The Adhi conventional gas field recovered 74.88% of its total recoverable reserves, with peak production in 2018. The peak production was approximately 8.87 thousand bpd of crude oil and condensate and 73 Mmcfd of natural gas. Based on economic assumptions, production will continue until the field reaches its economic limit in 2034. The field currently accounts for approximately 2% of the country’s daily output.
