Bangladesh has started producing gas from its newly developed Fenchuganj field, adding 25 million cubic feet (mcf) to the country's daily gas production, a senior energy official said on Monday.
The field, in the country's north-east, has been developed with local resources and expertise, M.A. Based, managing director of Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX), told Reuters.
"We started gas production from the Fenchuganj field from Sunday evening. This will supplement total national production and help meet increasing demand."
