Production

BAPEX announced the discovery of the Srikail gas field in 2004, but the service could not continue due to faulty excavation; later in 2012, the well was excavated again.[1][5] From May 5, to June 30, 2012, the gas was found at a depth of 3,218 meters.[5]

It is a medium-sized gas field.[1] According to BAPEX, the total gas reserves in this field is 300 billion cubic feet (BCF).[5] Currently, the gas field is lifting 41-44 million cubic feet of gas per day by its two wells and providing them to the national grid.[4]
