Abstract:
Titas gas field was discovered 50 miles east of Dhaka in east
central Bangladesh. A total of fourteen wells have been drilled to-date
in five locations. Production from this field began in April 28, 1968.
Until January 31, 2000 the cumulative gas production from A sand
was 1.368 TCF. Sands B and C together have produced 0.308 TCF of
gas during the same period.
Several studies to estimate the total reserve of the field have been
undertaken in the past with inconclusive results. Recently drilled
development wells have revealed startling new information. With this
data and new production data, a better reserve estimate has been
performed to determine the gas in place (GIP).At the same time future
field performance has been looked into.
This study finds considerable additional gas in place in Titas gas
field as opposed to the officially declared figure of the reserve. With
information from the newly drilled wells, revised subsurface maps
have been constructed which supports this finding.
