Titas Gas Field
Titas Gas Field is the largest natural gas field in Bangladesh. It sits onshore in the Brahmanbaria District and covers about 64 square kilometers with a dome-like shape. The field was discovered in 1962 by Pakistan Shell Oil Company and began commercial gas production in April 1968. It is operated by Bangladesh Gas Fields Company Limited (BGFCL).
The field currently produces about 300 million cubic feet of gas per day (8.5 million cubic meters). The total gas in place is estimated at about 4.13 billion cubic feet (117 million cubic meters). In 1964 it was established as Titus Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited. A transmission pipeline connects the field to LNG regasification facilities for supply to Chittagong and Bakhrabad. In 2006, BGFCL found gas seepages in the southeastern part near the Titas River. In 2019 a fire disrupted gas supplies to the national grid for about 30 minutes.
