Unlocking deep sea energy potential needed

Gas is one of Bangladesh's most valuable natural resources, and the country has a great deal to be proud of in this regard. Due to its unique geological conditions, Bangladesh is rich in gas resources. Without this abundance of natural gas, our development efforts might have faltered, and progress could have been significantly slower. In fact, Bangladesh is one of the leading countries globally in terms of successful gas exploration. Our success is evident in the fact that out of every five wells drilled, three yield gas. This high success rate is likely because drilling began only after extensive testing confirmed the high probability of finding gas.
