  • 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

  • Production Prediction of Water Drive Gas Reservoir Using History Matching
    International Journal of Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering (IJPPE) Volume 5, Issue 4, 2019, PP 23-30 ISSN 2454-7980 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-7980.0504004 www.arcjournals.org Production Prediction of Water Drive Gas Reservoir using History Matching Md Sifat Tanveer1*, Mohammad Shahedul Hossain1, A. 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.

The stratigraphic framework of the exposed Eocene to Miocene sediments in the Jaintiapur and surrounding areas, northeastern Sylhet, Bangladesh, was constructed from surface sedimentological studies together with sequence stratigraphic modeling of the Sylhet trough. In this study, the exposed Eocene to Miocene sediments having conventional names like Jaintia, Barail and Surma Group have been reinterpreted and renamed as of Dauki Allogroup, Tamabil Alloformation, and Surma Allogroup. The Tamabil Allogroup has been regarded as an undifferentiated unit. Both the Jaintiapur Alloformation and the Afifanagar Alloformation are well developed in the study area. In this work, the parasequences, systems tracts, bounding surfaces and sedimentary sequences of the exposed Eocene to Miocene sedimentary deposits of the study area have been redefined and are recognized as representing responses to changes in relative sea level, sediment influx, and paleogeography.

    1.37 P r e f a c e Annual Report entitled Gas Production and Consumption was prepared and published by Hydrocarbon Unit for the first time in October 2005. The present one is the issue of Annual Report on Gas Production and Consumption for the period of July 2019 to June 2020. In this report, gas production by State-owned Enterprise (SoE), International Oil Companies (IOC) and Joint Venture Undertakings in Bangladesh have been reflected. Daily average gas production rate and Condensate-Gas ratio have been included in the report as well. Moreover, sector-wise gas supply and consumption along with Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) have been illustrated with a monthly graphical presentation. This report has been prepared based on the data available from the Monthly Reserve and Gas Production Report of HCU and Monthly Information System (MIS) of Petrobangla. It is expected that the report will be helpful as reference book and elements of interest for the concerned.
