Sawan Gas Field is located in Nara Taluka, Sindh, Pakistan. It is a joint venture of OMV Pakistan, ENI Pakistan, PPL, Moravské naftové doly and Government Holdings (Private) Limited.[citation needed] A total of 15 wells have been drilled in Sawan Field and 14 are supplying 270 million cubic feet (7.6 million cubic metres) per day gas to Sui Northern Gas Pipelines and 40 million cu ft (1.1 million m3) per day to Sui Southern Gas Company.[citation needed] The total volume of gas sold from Sawan field during 2009-2010 was 104.75 billion cu ft (2.97 billion m3) as compared to 123.485 billion cu ft (3.50 billion m3) during 2008–2009. Sawan was and still is one of the largest discoveries of gas reserves in Pakistan.[2]

The operator of the field is OMV Pakistan. It has commercially usable reserves of more than 45 billion cubic meters and OMV Pakistan share of the production is around 13,000 barrels (2,100 cubic metres) per day of oil equivalent.[citation needed]

Sawan Gas Plant has its own airfield for transportation of staff due to its remote location. The airfield is known as Sawan Airport.

ENI announced in June 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, that it was putting its Pakistan assets up for sale.
