Industrial site
The Jalalabad Gas Field is a cornerstone of Bangladesh's energy sector, located in the resource-rich Sylhet region. Since its discovery in 1989, the field has become one of the most productive and reliable onshore gas sources in the country, currently operated by the international energy company Chevron. The natural gas extracted here is crucial for fueling regional power plants and providing the necessary energy to the numerous tea estates that define the landscape and economy of Sylhet. By supporting both heavy industry and local agricultural processing, the Jalalabad Gas Field plays a vital role in national energy security and regional economic development. Its ongoing operations showcase the integration of modern extraction technology within a region traditionally known for its natural beauty and tea production, highlighting Bangladesh's strategic efforts to harness its domestic energy potential for long-term growth.
