State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid today said that the process of natural gas exploration and extraction will be continued on priority basis.

“It is must be expanded in natural gas exploration and extraction work with realistic projects,” he said this while witnessing an agreement signing ceremony virtually as chief guest.

Authorities expected that around 10 million cubic feet of gas will be produced from the well per day, according to the project details.

Among others, additional secretary of energy division SM Zakir Hossain, Petrobangla Chairman Nazmul Ahsan and Sylhet Gas Fields Limited Managing Director Md Mizanur Rahman were present at the signing ceremony.
