Chevron Produces First Gas from Bibiyana Project in Bangladesh

Chevron Corporation on Tuesday announced that its 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 the 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 million cubic feet per day to 1.4 billion cubic feet per day. In addition, the project is expected to increase the company-operated natural gas liquids production capacity by 4,000 barrels per day to 9,000 barrels per day.

Chevron’s Bangladesh subsidiary has a 99 percent working interest in Bibiyana.
