The project was formally inaugurated by Petrobangla earlier this month
Workover operations have started at Well-5 of the Habiganj gas field, with the Bangladesh Gas Field Company Limited (BGFCL) aiming to boost the national gas supply by 10–15 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) once completed.
The BGFCL said the workover is expected to be completed by December 2025, helping to ease the country's ongoing energy shortage.
Petrobangla Director (Administration) SM Mahbub Alam inaugurated the workover operations on Friday (24 October).
