Sangu Gas Field () is a natural gas field in Bangladesh. The only offshore gas field in Bangladesh, it is currently abandoned. This gas field was discovered in 1996 in the Bay of Bengal 50 km from the Bangladesh coast near Silimpur, Chittagong. Santos, an Australian multinational company, was in charge of operations at the gas field. Its production was closed in 2014. To store the imported LNG, the government of Bangladesh is planning to convert the offshore gas field into an underground storage, where 487.91 billion cubic feet of gas can be stored. Currently in Bangladesh, there are 22 onshore blocks and 26 offshore blocks. Among these offshore blocks, 11 are shallow blocks, and the other 15 are deep-sea blocks. Gas production In 1998, British oil company Cairn Energy started producing gas from Sangu Gas Field. It initially produces about 50 million cubic feet of gas daily. Later it increased up to 180 million cubic feet a day. Production levels dropped to an average of 49 mi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gas Production
Natural gas (also fossil gas, methane gas, and gas) is a naturally occurring compound of gaseous hydrocarbons, primarily methane (95%), small amounts of higher alkanes, and traces of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide and helium. Methane is a colorless and odorless gas, and, after carbon dioxide, is the second-greatest greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate change. Because natural gas is odorless, a commercial odorizer, such as Methanethiol (mercaptan brand), that smells of hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs) is added to the gas for the ready detection of gas leaks. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is formed when layers of organic matter (primarily marine microorganisms) are thermally decomposed under oxygen-free conditions, subjected to intense heat and pressure underground over millions of years. The energy that the decayed organisms originally obtained from the sun via photosynthesis is stored as chemical energy within the molecules of methane and other ...
