The Sofiya field is located north of the Mehar gas field in the Mehar block, Pakistan.
OMV Maurice Energy, along with its joint-venture partners Ocean Pakistan, Government Holdings Private and Zaver Petroleum, have discovered hydrocarbon reserves at the Sofiya-2 exploration well in August 2013.
During the testing phase, the well produced around 18 million standard cubic feet a day of gas and an additional 1,550 barrels of condensate from the Ranikot formation through a 48/64in choke.
Upon securing development and production lease approval, the partners have commenced development activities at the field in early 2017.
The company said in a statement: "The Sofiya-2 well was successfully commissioned without any incident."
The Austrian firm said that the Sofiya-2 well produces 15 million standard cubic feet of gas per day and 1,400 barrels of condensate per day.
Production from the field will be transferred for processing at OMV-operated Mehar gas facilities in Shahdadkot, Sindh Province.
OMV Maurice Energy has 75% stake in the Mehar exploration license while Government Holding Private has 5% interest, Ocean Pakistan 15% interest, and Zaver Petroleum 5% stake.
In Pakistan, OMV owns interest in five exploration licenses and five operated development and production leases.
