Srikail Gas Field (Bengali: শ্রীকাইল গ্যাসক্ষেত্র) is a natural gas field located in Comilla, Bangladesh.[1] It is controlled by Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX).[2]

Location

Srikail gas field is located in Srikail village of Shrikail union, Muradnagar Upazila, Comilla district, Chittagong Division.[3] It is 7 km (4.3 mi) away from the Bangura gas field and lies in the same landscape, and these two fielde are spread over an area of 140 km2.[4]

Production

BAPEX announced the discovery of the Srikail gas field in 2004, but the service could not continue due to faulty excavation; later in 2012, the well was excavated again.[1][5] From May 5, to June 30, 2012, the gas was found at a depth of 3,218 meters.[5]

It is a medium-sized gas field.[1] According to BAPEX, the total gas reserves in this field is 300 billion cubic feet (BCF).[5] Currently, the gas field is lifting 41-44 million cubic feet of gas per day by its two wells and providing them to the national grid.[4]
