The government can get supply of 107 mmcfd gas from the wells of Bhola if effective measures are taken to boost supply from this island off-grid field.
“Currently, we are supplying 75 mmcfd gas through Sundarban gas company Ltd from Bhola’s six wells,” an official of Bapex said recently.
He said some 47 mmcfd gas remains unused due to lack of proper supply system, as there is no pipeline or other system to supply gas to the mainland for industrial usage.
The government has also been working under a project to install a process plant for production of additional 60 mmcfd gas from three other wells-Bhola North-1, Bhola North-2 and Ilisha-1.
Installation work of the process plant under the project began in January 2025, which is expected to complete in December this year.
