Project Details

• Operator: Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited (TGTDCL)
• Parent Company: Petrobangla
• Current capacity: 85 million cubic feet per day
• Length: 36 mi / 57.75 km
• Status: Operating
• Start Year: 2005

Background

The Habiganj-Ashuganj gas pipeline is operated by TGTDCL, a subsidiary of Petrobangla. It is a part of the Rashidpur-Ashuganj Gas Transmission Pipeline and runs parallel to the Ashuganj-Habiganj gas pipeline.

The pipeline helps increase transmission and distribution of natural gas to Bangladesh’s northern district through Bangabandhu Multi-Purpose Bridge. The pipeline links the Rashidpur gas field (in Habiganj) to the national gas grid at Ashuganj. As a result, more gas will be transmitted directly to the national grid and the additional gas will be supplied to the country’s western region.
