New Gas well discovered in Srikail | Muradnagar | Cumilla


State oil gas exploration company Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX) have discovered a new gas well at Srikail in Cumilla district. The newly discovered Srikail East-1 gas field is located in Muradnagar upazila of Comilla. It is the country's 28th gas field. BAPEX hopes to extract 20 million cubic feet of gas daily from this gas field. BAPEX started digging for gas wells here on October 28 last year. BAPEX sees this as a hope for the country's natural gas.

BAPEX engineers confirmed the gas level on 03 March 2020, Tuesday after a long four-month excavation work. About two years later a new gas well was discovered in the country. Now in the field the amount of water with gas and the pressure of the gas are monitoring and within few days the task of lifting will be started. As per provided NEWS on various newspapers, the gas pressure is currently 2,000 psr which is higher than other fields. It will be possible to lift 20 million cubic feet of gas daily from this gas field which is located at 3,065 meters beneath the surface. There are process plants nearby. It will be possible to ensure gas supply only by installing a 10 km pipeline from this well to the plant.

After four-month excavation, new gas wells were found under the Srikail gas field. The state-owned oil gas exploration and leasing company BAPEX is happy to find a new gas well in the country. The general public and the government are happy to find new gas amid disappointment over reports of gas leakage in the country.

The well under the Srikail gas field is under the Sreekail East-1 exploration well, the Rupkalpa-1 Khanan Prakalpa located in Bangura, Hajipur, of ​​Nabinagar Upazila, Brahmanbaria district. Digging was started from October last year and the gas started coming out on 2nd March after a pressure test by opening the well with technical explosive. The test is now being conducted to determine how much of this gas can be lifted commercially.


Initially, BAPEX can easily supply 10-12 million cubic feet of gas per day from here which can be lift up to 20 million cubic feet. As long as the pipeline is pulled up with the srikail main process plant, the gas of this well will be added to the national grid. As soon as the government finishes acquiring land and other materials to build the pipeline, gas from this well will be added to the national grid.

According to the BAPEX data, after the three-dimensional geological survey in 2017 and 2018, BAPEX identified existence of gas at that location. Later on 28 October 2019, they started digging the project by planting a rig in the agricultural land at Hajipur village. The excavation was completed on 31 January 2020. After several tests, the gas pressure test was started from 2nd March with the experimental pipe under fire.


BAPEX could not find any new gas fields or wells in the country for last 2 years. The officials of this organization are now very happy to discover the well after such a long time. The pressure and volume of gas in the well has already stirred hope. They think gas will be accessible to the general public as soon as government allocation is available.

Thanks,
