New gas reserves found in Sylhet

Sylhet Bureau :

A new gas reserve has been found in an abandoned well under the Sylhet Gas Field Limited at Golapganj upazila of the district.
The reserve was found at Kailastila Well No 2, according to Sylhet Gas Field Limited (SGFL) officials.
Confirming the matter, Engineer Abdul Jalil Pramanik, general manager (operations) of Sylhet Gas Fields Limited, told reporters that it will take another week to go into gas production from this well.
“We are expecting to extract 7 million cubic feet of gas per day from the layer,” the SGFL official said.
According to SGFL sources, gas extraction from Well 2 of Golapganj upazila under Sylhet GasField Limited had stopped long ago.
The new gas reserve was discovered for the first time since the re-drilling started on July 27.
Meanwhile, 70 barrels of condensate can be produced daily from the byproducts obtained from this well along with gas, according to SGFL.
The workover of the well is estimated to cost around Tk 71.85 crore, which is being funded by SGFL.
