Md. Mizanur Rahman ABSTRACT Bangladesh Oil Gas and Minerals Corporation short named Petrobangla operates oil and gas exploration, development, transmission, distribution and conversion together with development and marketing of minerals in Bangladesh. Bangladesh gas sector started its journey in the 60s, but its rapid expansion and integration started to accelerate in the early 70s spurred by the rising of the oil prices. Till now, 24 gas fields have discovered. Total recoverable proven and probable gas reserve is about 26.84 TCF and recoverable reserve is 20.70 TCF. Up to June 2013 about 11.2 TCF gas has been produced, leaving only 9.5 TCF recoverable proved gas. On the other hand, up to June 2013 about 30.27 MMBBL condensate has been produced so far. Eastern Refinery Limited (ERL) plays a vital role in supplying around 40% of the country’s current petroleum products demand. ERL processes crude oil imported by BPC and delivers the finished petroleum products to the other subsidiaries of BPC for marketing and distribution. ERL also processes natural gas condensate as crude mix. Besides ERL, Petrobangla companies like SGFL and BGFCL are fractionating condensate into different products like motor spirit (MS), kerosene, diesel and octane. And also some private entrepreneurs are fractionating condensate into different products like MS, kerosene, diesel, SBPS and MTT. So, these fractionation plants producing different products and marketed by Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) are playing a big role reducing import to meet the national demand of Bangladesh. SGFL installed a fractionation plant to fractionate condensate into MS, Kerosene at Haripur in 1960. At present there are twelve fractionation plants are in production a total capacity of 11,000 BBL/Day in Bangladesh. These fractionation plants both by government and private organization are contributing in the national economy reducing imports of finished petroleum products. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to thank Afifa Tabassum Tinni, Assistant Professor, Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Engineering, For assigning such an important and practical topic “An Overview of Natural Gas Condensate Scenario in Bangladesh” and for supervision and proper guidance throughout this study.

Condensate is composed mostly of saturated hydrocarbons in the light gasoline range (butane, pentane and hexane) and generally has API gravity higher than 55. It is a valuable product which is fractionated to produce LPG, motor spirit, diesel etc [1-5]. During the early days of natural gas production in Bangladesh, amount of condensate was small. With current production rate at about 7,000 barrels per day, the scenario has changed significantly. The major condensate producing fields of Bangladesh are Kailashtila, Rashidpur, Beanibazar, Jalalabad, Moulavibazar, and Bibiyana [6-21]. Until recently, all produced condensate was sent to Eastern Refinery Limited (ERL), the sole state owned refinery [22]. However, over the recent years a number of public and private enterprises got involved in fractionation. Due to the value addition opportunities, some of the gas field operators are considering measures to maximize liquid recovery [23]. Condensate is now an important issue with both technical and economic implications. It is therefore very important to gain a good understanding of the condensate value chain. The proposed project aims to make a systematic study of the condensate value chain. This will be helpful for all parties concerned, including the policy makers. 1 1.1 Objectives: The objectives of the study are to: 1. Create a database of condensate production and condensate properties 2. Give an overview of condensate handling, transportation and storage system in Bangladesh. 3. Give an overview of condensate fractionation business in Bangladesh, along with the statistics of end products. 4. Identify the trends and make suggestions for future developments. 1.2 Methodology The following methods will be adopted to achieve the above objectives: 1. Collection of condensate production and property data 2. Collection of data and information regarding condensate handling, transportation and storage 3. Collection of data and information related to the refinery/fractionation business in Bangladesh 4. Compilation and analysis of the data and information 5. Identify trends, and scope of improvements, where necessary. 6. Suggest measures for coping up with the trends, such as efficient handling of increasing production, etc. 2 Chapter 2 Natural Gas Condensate Properties Definition: Natural Gas Condensate Condensate is colorless or light yellow liquid hydrocarbons which come out as associated liquids with natural gas during its production. Most condensates are composed of saturated hydrocarbons in the light gasoline range (butane, pentane and hexane).

  • 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.

Accompanied By : Hussain, Mir Towfiq Company Name : BETS Consulting Services Ltd. Country : BANGLADESH Tel & E-Mail : +88 01714006291, [email protected] Poster session : WP3 Date & Time : September 17, Wednesday, 12.30-13.30 PM Venue : “Harlekin & Columbine” Ground Floor, Tivoli Congress Center Topic : Transmission & Distribution Paper Code : WP3-22 Abstract ID : 429 ABSTRACT The subject research problem encompasses the delineation of the implications of multifold safety, environmental and economic impact of fugitive emission (FE) and unaccounted for gas (UFG) which is commonly termed as system loss in the natural gas industry. The research is primarily based on the relevant statistical information available for a period of over a decade from the Natural Gas Transmission & Distribution Companies of Bangladesh. In fact, natural gas is the prime natural resource of Bangladesh which is in use to serve over 73 % of the countries commercial energy. Currently, a quantity of 800 billion standard cubic feet of gas, the prime natural resource of Bangladesh is in use per year @ 2300 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) against the demand of 2700 MMSCFD. The conceptual evolution of UFG, its integrated component of FE & its legacy of impacts have been gaining Tremendous prominence since early 20; century not only because these are eating up the profit of gas marketing companies but also contributing to negative impacts in the climate change since Methane is a Significant component of green house gas (GHG).
