據(jù)能源經(jīng)濟(jì)8月11日消息稱，孟加拉國宣布發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個新的天然氣田，可能儲量約680億立方英尺，價值超過1.48億美元。

　　孟加拉國電力、能源和礦產(chǎn)資源部部長Nasrul Hamid周一表示，國營的孟加拉國石油勘探公司(BAPEX)在達(dá)卡東北約240公里的錫萊特地區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)了這一氣田。

　　他說，這將在滿足這個能源匱乏國家日益增長的需求方面發(fā)揮重要作用。

　　Hamid說:“新氣田可能有680億立方英尺的天然氣儲量，價值約127.6億塔卡(約合1.48億美元)。”

　　BAPEX 官員表示，他們計劃很快開閘3D勘測，以評估實際位置，因為他們預(yù)計將在13年時間內(nèi)，以每天1000萬立方英尺的速度從該氣田開采。

　　官員們說，該氣田最初是在 6 月份發(fā)現(xiàn)的，但在評估了其可能的儲量和開采前景后，他們傾向于公開宣布。

　　孟加拉國此前發(fā)現(xiàn)了27個天然氣田，最新的一個于2017年10月在西南沿海地區(qū)博拉，是迄今為止最大的一個，擁有數(shù)千億立方英尺的儲量。

　　目前，孟加拉國有20個氣田在運營，供應(yīng)量為23億立方英尺/天，而全國需求為35億立方英尺/天，這種情況促使政府進(jìn)口6 -8億立方英尺/天的液化天然氣(LNG)。

　　孟加拉國于 1955 年在錫萊特發(fā)現(xiàn)了它的第一個氣田。

　　國營的孟加拉國石油、天然氣和礦產(chǎn)公司的官員表示，此前發(fā)現(xiàn)的 27 個氣田的原始可采天然氣累計儲量約為 28 萬億立方英尺。

　　能源專家 Mohammad Tamim 教授博士說，與負(fù)擔(dān)得起的能源相比，確保供應(yīng)更令人擔(dān)憂，同時“能源短缺正在加劇，未來幾天將出現(xiàn)逾4億至5億立方英尺的天然氣產(chǎn)量短缺”。

　　另一位專家Badrul Imam表示，孟加拉國的天然氣勘探仍處于“不成熟階段”， 有許多地區(qū)和潛在的儲量類型尚未勘探。

　　他補充說：“發(fā)現(xiàn)大量新天然氣儲量的可能性很高……認(rèn)真的勘探活動可以為孟加拉國提供足夠的天然氣，以抵消對進(jìn)口能源過度依賴的政策。”

　　Energy-starved Bangladesh discovers new gas field worth over $148 mn

　　Bangladesh has announced to have discovered a new gas field containing a probable reserve of about 68 billion cubic feet worth over USD 148 million.

　　The state-run Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration Company (BAPEX) made the discovery in Sylhet region, some 240 kms northeast of Dhaka, state minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said on Monday.

　　It would play an important role in meeting the energy-starved country's growing demand, he said.

　　"The new gas field has a possible reserve of 68 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas worth around 12.76 billion takas (about USD 148 million)," Hamid said.

　　BAPEX officials said that they plan to launch a 3D survey soon to assess the real position as they expect to extract up to 13 years at 10 million cubic feet per day from the virgin field.

　　The field was primarily discovered in June but preferred to make the announcement public after assessing its probable reserve and extraction prospects, the officials said.

　　Bangladesh previously discovered 27 gas fields, with the latest one being in the southwestern coastal district of Bhola in October 2017, the biggest one so far, having hundreds of billions of cubic feet reserves.

　　Currently, 20 gas fields are operational in Bangladesh with the supply of 2,300 million cubic feet gas per day (MMcf/d) against a national demand of 3,500 MMcf/d, a situation that prompted the government to import 600-800 MMcf/d Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).

　　Bangladesh discovered its first gas field in Sylhet in 1955.

　　State-run Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation officials said the previously discovered 27 gas fields contained a cumulative original recoverable gas reserve of around 28 trillion cubic feet.

　　Energy expert Professor Dr Mohammad Tamim said there was more concern about ensuring supply than affordable energy while "energy deficit is growing and there will be a production shortage of more than 400 to 500mmcf of gas in the coming days".

　　Another expert Badrul Imam said that gas exploration in Bangladesh still remained in an "immature stage" with many unexplored areas and potential reserve types.

　　"There are high prospects of finding significant new gas reserves... a serious exploration drive can certainly offer Bangladesh enough gas to offset the policy of overwhelming dependence on imported energy," he added.?
