Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh among the consumers of the country for Mujibur Rahman desired to ensure the responsible use of energy to ensure energy energy security of independent Bangladesh. security. He bought five gas fields from Shell Oil at a nominal price on 9th August, 1975. The strong foundation of our energy supply has been established based on these gas Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu fields. In the course of time, under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Long Live Bangladesh Hasina with steady economic development, Bangladesh has already been recognized as Message a role model for developing countries. I am happy to note that Petrobangla has Dr. Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury, Bir Bikram been putting its best effort in living up to future challenges by taking up hydro- carbon explorations, especially signing of production sharing contracts (PSC) for exploration in the sea. It is also accelerating coal mining to ensure availability of alternative energy source in the country. The importation of LNG helps not only to reduce the present demand-supply gap but also to keep the wheels of the economy going. It is equally important that the users undertake measures to improve and enhance efficiency of existing and future operations.

Shofiqul Islam1, Md. Farhaduzzaman2 1Department of Petroleum & Mining Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh 2Petroleum Engineering Department, Sylhet Gas Fields Limited (A company of Petrobangla), Sylhet, Bangladesh *Corresponding Author: Md. Shofiqul Islam, Department of Petroleum & Mining Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh Abstract: The present study has been conducted to evaluate the petrophysical properties of Sylhet Gas Field based on different logs data such as gamma-ray, spontaneous potential, density, neutron, resistivity, caliper and sonic logs. Quantitative properties including shale volume, porosity, permeability, fluid saturation, HC movability index and bulk volume of water were carried out using the well logs. Fourteen permeable zones were identified where six zones were found gas-bearing, one was oil bearing and the rest were water bearing. Computed petrophysical parameters across the reservoir provided average porosity as ranging from 16 to 26%, the permeability values range from 52 to 349 mili Darcy (mD) and the average hydrocarbon saturations are 75%, 68%, 77%, 76%, 63%, 73%, and 63% for reservoir Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 5, Zone 6 and Zone 7 respectively. Hydrocarbon was found moveable in the reservoir since all the hydrocarbon movability index value was less than 0.70. An average bulk volume of water ranged from 0.04 to 0.08.

In the reservoir condition, water saturation increases as gas production rise. The fluid properties of the four individual gas zones of this reservoir at the present condition and at the gas depleted condition should be addressed with proper prediction. In this paper, we characterize the total reservoir with special emphasis on Upper Gas Zone and New Gas Zone I which are compared with other two gas zones (New Gas Zone III and New Gas Zone II) representing some modeling results (has done before by these authors) which evidences that the pore fluids have a significant effect on the acoustic impedance and the Poisson’s ratio of the reservoir rock which is directly correlated with seismic amplitudes at constant pressure with Batzle-Wang model and Gassman-Boit models.
