Monday, 21 July 2008
SYLHET, July 20 (UNB): Chief Adviser's Special Assistant for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Prof M Tamim Sunday said the reserves in the existing gas fields need a quick and proper reevaluation.
'Necessary steps would have to be taken to extract gas by digging new wells in those fields,' he told a meeting with the Petrobangla chairman and other officials.
Managing directors of Kailashtila, Haripur, Biyanibazar, Jalalabad, Sylhet and Rashidpur gas fields attended the meeting in the Kailashtila Gas Field office in the city.
Tamim said new gas zones would have to be discovered in gas fields and the production capacity of the fields should be enhanced.
He directed experts to submit a progress report on that in every three months.
Earlier, the Special Assistant visited Haripur NGL processing plant, Kailashtila MSPE plant and Kailashtila silica gel processing plant.
He also inaugurated a tree plantation programme at Sylhet Gas Field under the "National Tree Plantation Campaign-2008" in the morning.
Petrobangla Chairman Jalal Ahmed and Sylhet Gas Field Company Ltd Managing Director M Yusuf Ali Talukder attended that programme.
