Natural gas and oil There are 22 discovered gas fields in Bangladesh of various sizes. The total reserve of 20 gas fields is about 26 Tcf (trillion cubic feet). Gas in most of the fields is dry‚ in a few fields it is wet. For example at Beanibazar (16 bbl/mmcfg)‚ Jalalabad (15 bbl/mmcfg)‚ and Kailashtila (13 bbl/mmcfg). Currently‚ natural gas accounts for more than 70% of the total commercial energy consumption and the major part of the future energy demand would be met from it. Power sector ranks
