Excavations and wells
From this gas field, ten wells ranging from a depth of 5,100 feet to 11,500 feet were excavated in a vertical way, and another at a depth of 11,552 feet, excavated in a perpendicular way, of which gas was extracted at different times, which are situated 4,357 to 9,910 feet under the ground.[5]
Stock and extraction
It is one of the largest gas fields in the country.[4] According to Petrobangla's estimation, the total reserves of gas extracted is 2,787 billion cubic feet (BCF).[3] The gas extraction was started since 1968, but due to the presence of excessive water, the production of gas was hampered from its four wells;[3] currently, an average of 225 million cubic feet of gas is being extracted daily.[6] At present, the gas field has only 345.5 billion cubic feet of gas remaining.[7]
