About Habiganj gas field

Habiganj gas field is located at Madhabpur upazila in Habiganj district. This field was discovered by Pakistan Shell Oil Company in 1963. The structure measures 12x5 square km with a vertical closure of 300 m which has a roughly sub-meridian axis tilted slightly eastward at the northern end. Total recoverable gas reserve of this field re-estimated by Hydrocarbon Unit is 2,787.00 billion cubic feet (BCF). Commercial gas production from this field was started from 1968 and  till January 31, 2013 total 1937.237 billion cubic feet or 69.51% percent of reserves has been recovered.

09 (nine) wells drilled in this field are vertical and only 2(two) well are deviated type. The wells are spread at 9 (nine) different locations stretched over about 14 km distance. In January 2013, average 225.53 million cubic feet of gas is produced daily from 8 wells out of 11 wells of this field processing through 6 glycol dehydration plants and supplied to the transmission pipe line of TGTDCL, GTCL and Jalalabad Gas Transmission & Distribution System Ltd. (JGTDSL). Present average condensate/gas ratio and water/gas ratio of this field are 0.049 and 0.197 bbl/million cubic feet respectively. Gas production from well no. 8 and 9 was suspended due to excessive water and sand production. Condensate of this field is processed by the fractionation plant of Titas gas field.
