The Titas gas field is one of Bangladesh's largest natural gas reserves, located in Brahmanbaria district. Discovered in 1962 by Pakistan Shell Oil Company, production began in 1968. The field covers approximately 25 square kilometers with gas-bearing zones at depths of 2,500-3,500 meters. Initial reserves were estimated at over 5 trillion cubic feet (TCF), with about 70% depleted by 2020. Titas contributes roughly 20% of the country's natural gas output, primarily supplying households and industries in the Dhaka region. Operated by state-owned Petrobangla, production declines by 5-10% annually due to reservoir depletion. The field has been crucial for Bangladesh's energy infrastructure, but dwindling reserves necessitate import alternatives like LNG.
