Chevron produces first gas from Bibiyana Expansion Project in Bangladesh
SAN RAMON, California -- Chevron Corporation's Bangladesh subsidiary has commenced natural gas production from the Bibiyana Expansion Project in the northeastern part of the country.
The project included an expansion of the existing gas plant to process increased natural gas volumes from Bibiyana field, additional development wells and an enhanced gas liquids recovery unit. The project is expected to boost Chevron-operated natural gas production capacity in Bangladesh by more than 300 MMcfd to 1.4 Bcfd. In addition, the project is expected to increase the company-operated natural gas liquids production capacity by 4,000 bpd to 9,000 bpd. Chevron's Bangladesh subsidiary has a 99% working interest in Bibiyana.
"The Bibiyana expansion represents Chevron's commitment to developing new resources to meet energy demand in Asia," said Jay Johnson, senior V.P., Upstream, Chevron Corporation. "The expansion is one of a slate of projects across the region that will deliver on Chevron's strategy to grow profitably in core areas."
