Survey of Energy Resources 2007

Natural Gas Country Notes

Whilst the published volumes of proved gas reserves are not particularly large, much of Bangladesh is poorly explored and the potential for further discoveries is thought to be substantial. For the present Survey, the Cedigaz assessment of 436 bcm for proved recoverable reserves has been adopted in preference to Oil & Gas Journal's reduced level of 142 bcm.

Gas production has followed a rising trend for many years and has reached 14 bcm per annum. Natural gas contributes nearly three-quarters of Bangladesh's commercial energy supplies; its principal outlets are power stations and fertiliser plants. Consumption by the residential/commercial sector is growing rapidly.
