Titas gas field is located some 100 Km away
to the direction of northern-east from capital city of Bangladesh,
Dhaka. It lies at the skirt of the Brahmanbaria district town. This
field was discovered by Pakistan Shell Oil Company in 1962. The
structure is an elongate north-south asymmetrical anticline measuring
about 19x10 square km with a vertical closure of 500m. As per latest
official re-estimation, total recoverable gas reserve of Titas gas
field is 6,367 billion cubic feet (BCF). Commercial gas
production from this field was commenced in 1968 and till
April 30,
2012 total 3427.428 billion cubic feet gas or 53.38% of reserves has been
recovered.
Out of total 16 (sixteen) nos. gas wells drilled so far in this
field 7 (seven) are vertical wells and the remaining 9 (nine) are
deviated wells. The wells are spread (surface location) at 6 (six)
different locations stretched over about 8 km distance. In April 2012, average 452.118 million cubic feet of gas is produced daily from 15 wells
of this field and processing through 5 nos. glycol dehydration and 6
nos. Low Temperature Separation (LTS) type process plants and
supplied to the transmission pipelines of Titas Gas Transmission &
Distribution Co. Ltd. (TGTDCL) and Gas Transmission Company Ltd.
(GTCL). Condensate produced (379 bbl per day on an average) with gas as
by-product is fractionated into MS (Petrol) and HSD (Diesel) through
two fractionation plants and the products are being supplied to Padma
Oil Company Ltd. for marketing. Present average condensate/gas ratio
of this field is 0.839 bbl/million cubic feet and water/gas ratio is
0.800 bbl/million cubic
feet (excluding well no Titas 12). Titas well no.3 was
Plugged & Abandoned by snubbing operation on 21.1.2008 to prevent gas seepage from nearby locality.
