Rashidpur Gas Field (Bengali: রশিদপুর গ্যাসক্ষেত্র) is a natural gas field located in Habiganj, Bangladesh. In 1960, Pakistan Shell Oil Company discovered it.[1] In 1975, this gas field came under the control of the Government of Bangladesh.[2] It is one of the sixth gasfields owned and operated by a government company, Sylhet Gas Fields Company Limited.[3] [4] [5]

Geography

A gas field was discovered for the first time in the hilly area namely Rashidpur of No.7 Bhadeshwar Union in Bahubal Upazila.[6] Rashidpur gas field is located in Rashidpur of Bahubal upazila of Habiganj.[7] It is situated between Moulvibazar and Habiganj in Sylhet division.[8] In the year 1990–91, a well was drilled and two plants were set up.[6] A total of 8 wells have been drilled and linked up to meet the demand of gas by the North-South Pipeline.[9] In 2015, Gazprom was assigned to drill Rashidpur gas fields along with Srikail and Bakhrabad.[10]

Production

In 1993, gas was started lifting by the 7 wells of Rashidpur gas field.[11] [12] In 2011, BAPEX, the state-owned organization of Bangladesh, conducted a three-dimensional seismic survey, and found the stock of about one trillion cubic feet of gas at the gas field.[13] [14] The gas was started lifting experimentally by the No.8 well.[11] According to an estimation of 2015, the reserves of this gas field amounted to 5.2 TCF.[5] It was reported that the production of octane would be produced in 2016.[15] The production of the five wells of the Rashidpur gas field was 60 million cubic feet, but in 2019 it was reduced to 50 million cubic feet.[16]
