  • Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network
    Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network Economic corridors are anchored on transport corridors, and international experience suggests that the higher the level of connectivity within and across countries, the higher the level of economic growth. In this paper, a new set of corridors is being proposed for Bangladesh—a nine-corridor comprehensive integrated multimodal economic corridor network resembling the London Tube map. This paper presents the initial results of the research undertaken as an early step of that development effort. It recommends an integrated approach to developing economic corridors in Bangladesh that would provide a strong economic foundation for the construction of world-class infrastructure that, in turn, could support the growth of local enterprises and attract foreign investment. About the Asian Development Bank COnnecTING BANGLADESH: ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to a large share of the world’s poor. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. ECONOMIC CORRIDOR Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, NETWORK and technical assistance. Mohuiddin Alamgir

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.

  • Power Generation from Pressure Reduction in the Natural Gas Supply Chain in Bangladesh 89
    Power Generation from Pressure Reduction in the Natural Gas Supply Chain in Bangladesh 89 POWER GENERATION FROM PRESSURE REDUCTION IN THE NATURAL GAS SUPPLY CHAIN IN BANGLADESH Mohammed Mahbubur Rahman* Department of Petroleum & Mineral Resources Engineering (PMRE) Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh * Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract: Power can be generated from the pressure energy of natural gas along its supply chain at various pressure reduction points by using turbo-expanders. This technology is being applied in different countries around the world. This paper attempts to asses the potential of using this technology for Bangladesh. A number of producing wells and pressure reduction stations are investigated. It is found that pre-heating before expansion is almost always necessary to avoid hydrate formation. The power obtainable at the wellheads range from 150-500 kW, and that from pressure reduction stations range from 200 kW to 5 MW. Key Words: Power Generation, Pressure Reduction, Turbo Expander, INTRODUCTION WORLD SCENARIO Natural gas is produced at high pressures from Application of turbo-expanders for power the wells, but the pressure is deliberately reduced at generation is gaining more attention due to the recent different points along the supply chain (Figure 1). global trend of extracting energy from every Usually throttle valves or pressure control valves are conceivable source, addressing the growing concerns used to reduce the pressure, where energy of the gas over environment and energy conservation. Turbo- is spent without doing any work. This lost energy expanders are relatively small and compact, and are can be recovered as electricity if turbo-expanders usually coupled with a generator in one power pack.

  • Annual Report July 2016 – June 2017 Bangladesh Atomic Energy
    Annual Report July 2016 – June 2017 Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission Introduction Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) was founded in February 1973 through the promulgation of Presidential Order 15 of 1973 with the objective of promoting peaceful applications of nuclear energy in Bangladesh. By this time BAEC emerged as the largest organization for scientific and technological research especially in the field of nuclear energy in this country. The essentially goal-oriented research & development (R&D) programmes in physical sciences, biological sciences, engineering sciences and nuclear power field have been undertaken in the light of the overall need of the country so that the outcome of the activities can be directly contributed for socio-economic betterment. Programmes of BAEC are chosen in a manner so that the priority, aspiration and needs of the country are amply reflected in their execution. Notable services of BAEC include modern nuclear medicine services to mass people, specially to the poorest section of the society, protection of public health and the environment through radioactivity monitoring of all imported food items, practice of safety culture against all kinds of radiation hazards, sterilization of medicine and medical equipment, food preservation, development of high quality polymer materials, chemical analysis of industrial products for QC purposes, chemical analysis of food and environmental samples for protection against pollution, industrial NDT and material testing services etc. In the last few years, the BAEC has undertaken the challenge of implementing the Rooppur Nuclear Power Project (RNPP) as one of its highest priority task. The R&D programmes of BAEC are executed through its different institutes, centres and divisional laboratories equipped with state-of the-art facilities and installation.

  • Production Prediction of Water Drive Gas Reservoir Using History Matching

T. M. Shahidul Huqe Muzemder1 1Department of Petroleum & Mining Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh. *Corresponding Author: Md Sifat Tanveer, Department of Petroleum & Mining Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh. Abstract: The uncertainties attached to the characteristics of the underlying aquifer is one of the main constrains of production prediction from gas reservoirs producing under the support of natural water influx. This study has been conducted with Rashidpur Gas Field located in Bangladesh which has tendencies towards pressure maintenance by natural water influx. The presence of aquifer influx was recognized from the behavior of P⁄Z vs G_P plot and material balance analysis without water influx. The objectives of this study are to determine the unknown aquifer size and permeability through different history matching techniques and perform production prediction with the best fit aquifer parameters. Three history matching techniques; analytical method, graphical method and history simulation have been carried out varying the aquifer outer-inner ratio and permeability. Fetkovich’s Semi Steady Sate water influx model is incorporated with the material balance to calculate the cumulative water influx. The best history matching result is observed for aquifer outer-inner ratio of 5 and permeability of 130 md and estimated recovery is 59% as predicted with the existing well.
