Natural gas and petroleum in Bangladesh information


Bangladesh is the sixteenth-largest producer of natural gas in Asia.[1] Gas supplies meet 56% of domestic energy demand.[2] However, the country faces an acute energy crisis in meeting the demands of its vast and growing population. Bangladesh is a net importer of crude oil and petroleum products.[2] The energy sector is dominated by state-owned companies, including Petrobangla and the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation. Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Equinor,[3] Gazprom[4] and ONGC[5] are major international companies engaged in Bangladesh's hydrocarbon industry, with Chevron's gas fields accounting for 50% of natural gas production.[6]

Geologists believe the country's maritime exclusive economic zone holds one of the largest oil and gas reserves in the Asia-Pacific.[7] Protectionism and a lack of technical capacity have impeded Bangladesh's potential to emerge as a major global hydrocarbon producer. Two LNG Terminal and a gas pipeline will be created to ease the Bangladesh gas shortage.[8]

The International Islamic Trade Finance Corp has signed a $1.4 billion agreement to cover Bangladesh's oil imports.[9]
