In this work we study the collider phenomenology of a compressed supersymmetric model with the gluino ($\tilde{g}$) and the lightest neutralino (${\tilde{\chi }}_1^0$). All other sparticles are assumed to be heavy. We consider gluino pair production at the 14 TeV LHC and present the mass reach of the gluino as a function of mass splitting between the gluino and the lightest neutralino. We find that the gluino mass below 1 TeV can be excluded at 95% C.L. with an integrated luminosity of $100{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$ for the extreme degenerate case where the mass separation between the gluino and the lightest neutralino is about 20 GeV. On the other hand, the lower bound on the mass of the gluino increases to 1.2–1.3 TeV if the mass splitting between the gluino and ${\tilde{\chi }}_1^0$ is about 200 GeV. This result shows that for a degenerate gluino, the current mass limit may approximately extend up to 400–500 GeV at the 14 TeV LHC.
