Gas extraction on test begins at Sundalpur field

Noakhali Correspondent: Extraction of natural gas from Sundalpur gas field in the district's Companiganj upazila has been started on test.

The state-owned Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (Bapex) launched the commercial extraction of gas from the Sundalpur-Shahjadpur gas project-2 on Thursday noon.

After inaugurating the gas project, Bapex Managing Director Engr Md Nowshad Islam said, "Though the estimated amount of recoverable gas from this field cannot be ascertained at this moment, I think it would be one of the most commercially successful gas fields of Bapex."

The project director Md Alamgir Hossain said the government began Tk 62.90 crore-project work after acquiring five acres of land at Sundalpur-Shahjadpur village of Companiganj in October, 2004. Gas has been found in different layers up to 3,200 metres in the ground.
