Chevron’s Bangladesh subsidiary has started natural gas production from the Bibiyana Expansion Project in the northeastern part of the country.
Under the project, the existing gas plant was expanded to process increased natural gas volumes from the Bibiyana field.
The project also included the expansion of additional development wells and an enhanced gas liquids recovery unit.
The project is anticipated to increase Chevron-operated natural gas production capacity in Bangladesh by over 300 million cubic feet per day to 1.4 billion cubic feet per day.
It will also increase the company-operated natural gas liquids production capacity by 4,000 barrels per day to 9,000 barrels per day.
Chevron’s Bangladesh subsidiary has a 99% working interest in Bibiyana.
