Bangladesh has discovered a major natural gas reserve, an official said on Tuesday, in a find that could help the fast-developing country tackle severe energy shortages.
The state-run Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company found one trillion cubic feet (tcf) of previously uncharted gas in the Rashidpur gas field, project head Tofazzal Hossain said.
A three-dimensional seismic survey also showed that there was potentially another 2.4 tcf of gas at the field, 150km north-east of Dhaka, although this was likely to be harder to extract, Mr Hossain said.
?We are 80 per cent certain to extract the one tcf reserve. But the other reserve is in the high-risk category,? he told AFP.
