The beneficiaries would bear the foreign exchange risk. Proiect Description: The principal objectives of the project are to help alleviate gas supply shortages and support further reforms to improve overall gas sector management. The project would also assist the sector entities in their institutional development. The project would finance: (a) a 58 km, 30- inch diameter gas transmission pipeline from Ashuganj to Bakhrabad; (b) SCADA and telecommunication facilities for the gas trunkline from Kailashtilla to Chittagong; (c) three production wells at the Rashidpur gas field; (d) a gas processing plant for the above wells; and (e) technical assistance. Benefits and Risks: Benefits would include increased availability and improved reliability of gas supply, and resource savings from substitution of gas for imported alternative fuels. The institutional support would improve sector entities' operational efficiency and safety. The project would also contribute toward mitigating the impact of energy use on the quality of the environment. The project would not pose any special technical risks. The potential risks for the project are delays in procurement and shortfalls in the beneficiaries' project management capacity. To minimize these risks, advance procurement actions have been initiated, and adequate technical assistance is provided to assist in the implementation and construction supervision of project works. To keep the overall project on track, GOB would carry out a joint annual review with IDA of project progress as well as GOB's progress in carrying out further reforms in the gas sector. - ii - Estimated Costs:l/ Local Foreicn Total ------- US$ million--------- Ashuganj-Bakhrabad pipeline 12.5 41.8 54.3 SCADA and Telecom System 9.5 10.4 19.9 Emergency Response Equipment 0.5 1.6 2.1 Development of Three Wells 4.0 16.4 20.4 Gas Processing Plant 5.0 15.5 20.5 Consultancy Services 3.7 15.5 19.2 Training 0.3 1.8 2.1 Base Cost 35.5 103.0 138.5 Physical Contingencies 3.6 10.3 13.9 Price Contingencies 2.4 6.8 9.2 Total Project Cost .5120.1 161.6 Interest During Construction 10.1 0.0 10.1 Total Financing Required 51.6 120.1 171.7 FinancinQ Plan: Local Foreian Total -----------US$ million---------] IDA 18.3 102.5 120.8 ODA 9.3 17.6 26.9 GTC 5.0 - 5.0 SGFL 7.7 7.7 GOB 11.3 - 11.3 Total 51.6 120.1 171.7 Estimated IDA Disbursements: IDA Fiscal Year FY95 FY96 FY97 FY98 FY99 FY2000 (US$ Million) Annual 9.6 30.2 30.2 30.2 14.5 6.1 Cummulative 9.6 39.8 70.0 100.2 114.7 120.8 Economic Rate of Return: About 33% Poverty Cateaorv: Not Applicable M: IBRD 25735 I/ Including US$ 8.9 million in duties and taxes. - iii - BANGLADESH STAFF APPRAISAL REPORT GAS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Table of Contents Page No. CREDIT AND PROJECT SUMMARY .......................... .i I.
