Titas Gas Field ( Bengali: তিতাস গ্যাসক্ষেত্র) is a natural gas field located in Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh. [1] It is the largest gas field in Bangladesh. [2] From where, around 300 million cubic feet of gas is being extracted daily. [3] It is a subsidiary of Bangladesh Gas Fields Company Limited (BGFCL). The geo-structure of the gas field area is dome-shaped, with an area of about 64 square kilometers. [4]
It was discovered in 1962, and commercially started gas production from April 1968. [5] On 20 November 1964, the gas field was established as Titus Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited. [6] Located in Brahmanbaria, this gas field was discovered by Pakistan Shell Oil Company. [4] It will be connected through a transmission pipeline to transport regasified LNG to Chittagong and Bakhrabad. [7] In 2006, BGFCL first found gas seepages in the southeastern part of Titas gas field near Titas river. [8] In 2019, a fire incident hampered gas supply for half an hour to the national grid. [9]
