Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company (BAPEX) hopes to get seven million cubic feet gas from an abandoned well of Biyanibazar gas field in Sylhet, as it started re-digging Saturday.
"We expect to get five to seven million cubic feet of gas per day from this Well No 1," Managing Director of BAPEX Mohammad Ali told BSS over phone Saturday afternoon.
He inaugurated the excavation work of the abandoned Well No 1 of the gas field at Biyanibazar in the afternoon, while managing director of Sylhet Gas Fields Limited (SGFL) Md Mizanur Rahman was present.
Mohammad Ali said, in the meantime, seven to seven and a half million cubic feet of gas is being extracted daily from Well No 2.
He said that the re-digging of the well will be completed by early December.
At present, the Sylhet Gas Fields Limited (SGFL) has under its umbrella of five gas fields -- Haripur Gas Field, Rashidpur Gas Field, Chhatak Gas Field, Kailashtilla Gas Field and Beanibazar Gas Field.
However, the Chhatak Gas Field is currently abandoned. The remaining 12 wells are currently producing 91 million cubic feet of gas per day.
Biyanibazar is a producing conventional gas field located onshore Bangladesh and is operated by Sylhet Gas Fields Limited (SGFL). The field is located in block Block 14.
The Biyanibazar conventional gas field recovered 76.88% of its total recoverable reserves, with peak production in 2004. The peak production was approximately 0.47 thousand bpd of crude oil and condensate and 24 Mmcfd of natural gas. Based on economic assumptions, production will continue until the field reaches its economic limit in 2057.
