Meghna Gas Field Explained
Meghna Gas Field (Bengali: মেঘনা গ্যাসক্ষেত্র) is a natural gas field located in Brahmanbaria district of Bangladesh.[1] It is under the control of Bangladesh Gas Fields Company Limited.[2] Petrobangla discovered the gas field in 1990.
Location
Meghna gas field is located in Bancharampur Upazila, Brahmanbaria district,[1] Chittagong Division, which is about 40 km northeast of Dhaka.[3] It is located on the Meghna floodplain north of the Bakhrabad gas field.[4]
Excavations and wells
From here, the gas is extracted through a well depth of 10,079 feet excavated vertically, which long-strings are 9,912 to 9,948 feet, and the short-strings are 9,744 to 9,761 feet beneath the underground.[5]
Stock and production
It is a medium-ranged gas field.[4] According to Petrobangla's estimation, the total reserves of gas extracted from the field is 101 billion cubic feet (BCF).[3] From 1997, gas was started extracting at a rate of 20 million cubic feet per day, but due to excessive water production, gas production was halted from 10 August 2007;[3] however, on an average 12 million cubic feet of gas is being extracted at a daily-basis by tth short-strings.[6]
At present, the gas field has only 31.3 billion cubic feet of gas remaining.[7]
