Bakhrabad Field

 

Bakhrabad gas field lies in the Muradnagar upazila under Comilla district some 40 km away to the east from capital city of Bangladesh, Dhaka. Like Titas & Habiganj fields Bakhrabad gas field was discovered by Pakistan Shell Oil Co. Ltd. in 1969. The Bakhrabad anticline, as defined by seismic, is a narrow, elongate almost symmetrical fold about 69 km long upto 10 km wide. Total recoverable gas reserves  of this field  re-estimated  by Petrobangla is 1,387.00 billion cubic feet (BCF). Commercial gas production from this field was started in 1984 and till February 28, 2023 total 869.595 billion cubic feet or 62.70% percent of reserves has been recovered.

 

Total 10 (ten) wells have been drilled at 03 (three) nearby locations. Of these wells, 02 (two) wells (well # 1 & 9) are vertical while remaining 08 (eight) wells are of deviated type. Maximum 210 million cubic feet of gas was produced daily from this field in 1992. In February 2023, average 34.03 million cubic feet of gas is produced daily from 6 producing wells of this field while production from other 4 wells (well # 2, 4, 6 & 7) remain suspended due to water loading in the production string. Produced gas is processed in 4 nos. Solid Desicant Silicagel type gas process plants and supplied to the Bakhrabad-Chattagram Transmission Pipe line of Gas Transmission Company Limited (GTCL). About 39.64 bbls condensate is produced daily with gas as by-product. In February 2023, condensate/gas ratio and water/gas ratio of this field are 1.165 and 7.027 bbl/million cubic feet respectively. 

 

With a view to increase the sales line pressure of  Bakhrabad  gas field three Gas Booster compressors have been installed. The capacity of each compressor is 15 million cubic feet daily. Out of 3 compressors, two compressors are running and another one is standby.
