Nat’l grid receives add’l gas from Habiganj well

Brahmanbaria Correspondent :

Following the completion of workover operations, gas supply from Well No. 5 of the Habiganj Gas Field has commenced to the national grid.

The supply was officially inaugurated on Wednesday afternoon by Petrobangla Chairman Rezanur Rahman.

Well No. 5, located in the Raghunandan area of Habiganj, was originally drilled in 1988.

At present, the well is contributing 14 million cubic feet of gas per day to the national grid.

After the workover process, daily production is expected to increase to 26 million cubic feet, meaning an additional 12 million cubic feet of gas will be supplied daily.

Due to various technical complications, including water rise along with gas production, the authorities of Bangladesh Gas Fields Company Limited (BGFCL) undertook the workover initiative for Well No. 5.

The project began on 24 October and was completed on 27 November at a cost of approximately Tk 75 crore.

The inaugural ceremony was attended by BGFCL Managing Director Md Faruk Hossain, Workover Project Director Ismail Molla, and other officials associated with the project.
