Historyd

The current city of Kandhkot is about 200 years old. Kalhora Dynasty established the fort here within their ending days. After Kalhora's, this area remained under the territory of Talpur's known as Mir till 1841, Khangarh now Jacobabad, handed over to East India through Treaty. Kandhkot was a small village during that time with a population of about 100 souls.[4]

The term Kandhkot refers to the city on the bank of a river, but it is a fabricated meaning. On the banks of the river Indus, many forts that are still in use were constructed, but none of them have the name of the fort on the river.

Gas and oil field

Kandhkot gas field was discovered in 1959. Kandhkot gas field’s reserves are concentrated in the Habib Rahi Limestone, Sui Main and Upper Limestone reservoirs. Although Kandhkot gas field was discovered shortly after Sui gas field, production did not begin until 1987 due to low gas demand.[5]
