Chevron Opens Two Gas Wells in Bangladesh

Chevron Corporation, the US oil and gas giant has started producing natural gas from two new onshore wells in the Bangladeshi Jalalabad gas field with an output of around 90,000mcf/day, and plans to open a third well in Q1 of 2016, Platts reported.

The three wells will raise Jalalabad’s gas field’s production capacity to 350,000mcf/d, and Bangladesh’s overall natural gas output will increase to 2.80bcf/d.

Chevron operates three onshore gas fields, Bibiyana, Jalalabad, and Moulavi Bazar in the northeastern part of Bangladesh, and its gas production amounts to 57 % of the country’s total supply, according to data issued by the national oil company Petrobangla.

According to Reuters, Chevron has expressed a long-term commitment to lessen the country’s dependence on energy imports.
