New gas reserves discovered while renovating old well in Sylhet’s Haripur
It is initially estimated that 7 to 8 million cubic feet of gas can be extracted from this well daily, Managing Director of SGFL Mizanur Rahman said today (22 October)
The Sylhet Gas Fields Limited (SGFL) has announced the discovery of gas while renovating an old gas well in Sylhet's Haripur.
It is initially estimated that 7 to 8 million cubic feet of gas can be extracted from this well daily, Managing Director of SGFL Mizanur Rahman said today (22 October).
He said the gas was discovered at a depth of 1,200 metres in well-7, adding that earlier on 14 August 6-7 million cubic feet of gas was found at a depth of 2,000 metres in the same well during renovation work.
Currently, 60-70 million cubic feet of gas is obtained from different gas fields of Sylhet which are then supplied to the national grid.
Mizanur said the gas from well-7 would also be connected to the grid soon.
The MD, however, said the full reserve will only be known after the necessary tests are completed in around a week.
